20 States Ask Supreme Court to Ban Dismemberment Abortions Tearing Off Babies’ Limbs​

Twenty state attorneys general submitted a brief to the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday supporting Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s efforts to defend a law banning brutal dismemberment abortions.

WYMT News reports Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich led the amicus brief, which argues that a lower court was wrong in refusing to allow Cameron to defend the law.

The brief accused a Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals panel of usurping the rights of the people of Kentucky “through procedural machinations.”

“The threats to these sovereign interests are particularly acute in this case,” the attorneys general wrote in the brief. “The panel majority’s actions must be reversed.”

This is great, this doesn’t belong in America.

Any idea if all 20 of those states have also ended the practice within their borders?

I wonder if their concern is that a) they cannot with Roe v Wade in place and b) fear of lawsuits if they attempt to do so, which are expensive to fend off. Note that in this case it is support in the form of amicus briefs by the 20 states in support of Kentucky’s efforts to fend off a lawsuit attacking their own law prohibiting such acts.

The AGs which filed supporting briefs are (from the article):

The attorneys general of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and West Virginia joined Arizona in the brief.

Well, right from the article:

Other states with dismemberment abortion laws include Arkansas, Alabama, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas and West Virginia. The abortion industry is challenging many of them in court.

And I suspect this particular case in Kentucky stems from there being only one abortion facility in the state. I suspect the ACLU is using the disparate impact theory to oppose the law. But as so many here on CAF have said, “The law is the law. If you can’t follow the law, then you shouldn’t be in business.” What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, no?

Really one wonders about voting for pro-infanticide, pro-dismemberment abortion types of politicians.
