Yes definitely. It will give the pro abortion lobby time to explain why they want to allow the killing of babies AFTER 20 weeks’ gestation. They can speak of how important it is to maintain the low standards in abortuaries demonstrated by Dr Kermit Gosnell, not to mention their own Dr Carhart! They can explain how preserving the most expensive of procedures helps the poor.

A great way to allow them to cut their own throats. What they are promoting is disgusting to the VAST majority of Americans, even those claiming to be pro “choice” The reality is that late term abortion, the appalling conditions in the few clinics that offer this barbarous procedure are not very appealing even to those who support LIMITED access to abortion.

One positive about Gosnell is that it allowed the sun to shine on this modern day butchery of women and babies.

But will a challenge be successful? 9 states have bans on abortion after 20 weeks gestation, some have exceptions for ‘medically futile pregnancy.’ 11 states had ban on abortion after 20 weeks, but Idaho and Arizona’s ban was struck down and there are injunctions against Georgia’s 20 week ban and Arizona’s 12 week gestation ban.
 
Injunction against Arkansas’ 20 week gestation ban, Arizona’s 20 week ban was struck down

I think that this is a tough one to call. With current legal precedent, the limits below 24 weeks may not stand. The health and safety requirements would seem to have a better chance, at least on the surface.

Of course, it is generally a futile endeavor trying to predict what the courts will do.

Don’t understand your point. I think once an unborn baby shows demonstrable human features, the pro abort’s case is tough to make to the general public that does not have the strange ideology of abortion at any time for no reason as their mantra. Norman human beings who hear about Plan B or an abortion in four weeks are not necessarily going to approve of a woman aborting at 20 weeks or 21 for that matter. You’re just hair splitting.

Ironically the main objection isn’t to the restrictions on date but on the standards for clinics. How anyone claiming to care about “women’s health” wants the most desperate and poor women to be stuck with substandard and unsanitary clinics along with poorly skilled providers is beyond my understanding. If they truly cared about “women’s health” they would want women in crisis to receive the best care, counselling and support, not an assembly line of filthy equipment and low level care.

Gross… then nothing from that camp surprises me really. 🤷 Hopefully they all get arrested.

They plan to throw tampons and pads at pro-life legislators — and they have already been warned by state troopers who protect the state capitol that throwing objects at legislators is not allowed.

Real bricks (not foam ones) being confiscated from the peace-loving abortion crowd by DPS. Nice. #stand4life
