5th Circuit Upholds new Texas Abortion Law

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A federal appeals court has upheld new abortion restrictions that shuttered many of the abortions clinics in Texas.
A panel of judges on the New Orleans-based U.S. 5th Circuit issued the ruling Thursday, overturning a lower court's decision that the rules violated the U.S. Constitution and served no medical purpose.
Texas lawmakers last year passed some of the toughest restrictions in the U.S. on when, where and how women may obtain an abortion. The Republican-controlled Legislature required abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital and placed strict limits on doctors prescribing abortion-inducing pills.
In its opinion, the appeals court said the law "on its face does not impose an undue burden on the life and health of a woman."

His posts are going to be painful to read in this thread.
Anyway, I'm not naive to the aspect that this is intended to restrict abortions as much as possible but safety is a legit concern as abortions are still a dangerous procedure so that's a good interest to have.

Shrug, we both know it's an attempt to get around roe v wade.
Win some, lose some, fight is not done with this.
(And yes I am in favor of making abortion as safe as possible for women...but that is not what this law was about.)

Please explain how you would want to make abortions safer for women without causing "an undue burden on the woman."

This will give the Democrats ammunition to rile up women.
-"You see what happens when Republicans get to appoint federal judges?"
-"We can't afford to have any more Republican-appointed judges on the SCOTUS".
I can already picture the ads. This should help Hillary in 2016.

Actually, this is what's wrong with it. If fewer people played politics and pointed fingers, kept their noses out of other people's business and took care of themselves, we'd all be much better off.

It amazes me that liberals not only condone but fully support the murder of babies. How they cannot see it as human life is beyond my level of comprehension, which is saying something.

At what point does one obtain "rights" that the government is charged with protecting???
Do these rights extend to the womb? if not why not?

Seriously, this is a "boom" level response. However, do the un-callus-hand white collar GOPers and their consultants have the balls to run such an ad?
I doubt it.

Correct.

Well then legislation needs to start popping up re: many other "dangerous" procedures.
ETA: I'm still waiting on objective evidence that shows admitting privileges-->reduces adverse outcomes

You should know me well enough to know that Hillary is no savior of mine.

This is my question...are the same "safe guards" in place for all outpatient procedures?

Have hospitals moved away from the hospitalist model? I'm pretty sure if someone is taken as an urgent/emergent patient from an outpatient facility, they would see the first ER doc available and not wait to check admitting privileges of the referring physician.
But I could be wrong.

Let's be honest, conservatives don't really see it as murder, otherwise, they'd be advocating the death sentence for both the mother and the doctor for committing first degree murder.

If you are holding a baby in your arms you are responsible for that baby and you definitely can't kill it.
If you are holding a baby in your womb, responsibility for the baby is questionable and you have the right to kill it in most circumstances.
Why does the disposition of the baby matter?
