District Judge rules against Texas Ban on Dismemberment Abortion

Federal District Judge Lee Yeakel, who historically rules in favor of the abortion industry, issues a sweeping ruling that strikes down the Pro-Life Texas Dismemberment Abortion Ban. The full five-day trial on the ban was held earlier this month after abortion providers resorted to the courts to protect their practice of ripping living children limb from limb out of their mothers’ wombs.

State Senator Charles Perry (R-Lubbock) and State Representative Stephanie Klick (R-Fort Worth) sponsored the widely-supported legislation during the 85th Legislature with Texas Right to Life spearheading the passage of the ban. This Dismemberment Abortion Ban narrowly addresses one type of second-trimester abortion procedure in which a living preborn child is torn limb from limb while his or her heart is still beating.

After the measure passed as an amendment to another related bill [SB 8], several Texas abortion clinics and a few abortionists challenged the Pro-Life law claiming the measure created an undue burden on abortion providers and women seeking abortions and was, therefore, unconstitutional.
