ADF is backing Arizona's ban on non-emergency abortions after 20 weeks and has filed a brief with the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Alliance Defending Freedom contends the law is based on expert medical proof that babies have pain sensors by the time they are 20 weeks in the womb, though some argue even sooner. Senior counsel Steven H. Aden tells OneNewsNow, "Every innocent life deserves to be protected."
"Not only does this law protect babies in the womb who feel horrific pain upon being torn apart in an abortion, the law is constitutional because it protects mothers from risky abortions, and it protects society from the barbaric effects of abortions that cause horrific pain to babies," he continues.
According to Aden, those are the core issues.
"The ACLU and The Center for Reproductive Rights, who brought this lawsuit, apparently don't care about that," he gathers. "What they care about is advancing their own political agenda and making money for the abortion industry."
ADF filed the brief on behalf of Doctors on Fetal Pain, an unincorporated association of physicians and medical researchers.
