Inbox x Life Legal Defense Foundation via mta-bbcspool.convio.net Wed, Jan 9, 8:39 PM to me The U.S. Supreme Court is considering the first abortion case since Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation. SCOTUS considering first abortion case since Kavanaugh This week, the U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether to take up a case involving an Indiana law prohibiting abortions solely on the basis of a baby’s sex, race, or disability. The law also forbids abortionists from treating aborted babies as medical waste and requires them to dispose of the bodies in a humane and dignified manner. Life Legal filed a “friend of the court” or amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to review the case. Planned Parenthood and the ACLU challenged the law, with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals finding that the “categorical” right to abortion before viability trumps any right to protect unborn babies from discrimination based on sex, race, or disability. Regarding the disposition of fetal remains, the court held that the state has no interest in the manner in which aborted babies are disposed of because “there is no potential life at stake.” Judge Daniel Anthony Manion of the Seventh Circuit lamented in a separate opinion that abortion has become a “super-right, more sacrosanct than even the enumerated rights in the Bill of Rights…a more untouchable right than even the freedom of speech.” Manion, whose wife works for a pro-life pregnancy center, emphasized that states and lower courts were impotent to restrict abortion pre-viability “without a significant recalibration” from the Supreme Court. Read Judge Manion's exchange with ACLU attorney Ken Falk below. With the addition of Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, we could see the Court moving to reverse or at least narrow the holdings in Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood. Life Legal supports all provisions of the Indiana statute. Our brief focuses on the fetal remains provision of the statute and we argue that states have an interest in the humane and dignified treatment of the remains of babies killed by abortion. Moreover, states have an interest in counteracting the callous disregard for human life exhibited by abortionists.

[Source: Center for Medical Progress YouTube channel] The Gosnell movie and the Center for Medical Progress videos expose the horrific way babies targeted for abortion are treated. Gosnell mutilated late-term infants and stored their feet and other body parts in jars in his home and office. The CMP videos show Planned Parenthood directors casually talking about how easy it is to tear babies apart to obtain specific body parts for sale. We filed our brief on behalf of Dr. Beverly McMillan, a former abortion provider who opened the first abortion facility in Mississippi. Life Legal is currently working with pro-life teams to close the last remaining abortion mill in Mississippi.

During oral arguments, Judge Manion (left) and ACLU attorney Ken Falk had the following exchange: Falk: The fetus is not a human being. The state may not adopt one theory of when life begins. Manion: What do they call it if it’s not an unborn person? Falk: That is a theory…and the government cannot…impose that theory on individuals. Manion: What can you call it…is there some other word? Falk: It’s potential life, but when that life leaves that tissue, it becomes a byproduct. Manion: But most of them have a beating heart. Falk: The mistake is characterizing that as a human being that was alive, and it never was. Manion: All I’m saying is that if you don’t call it a human being, what do you call it? It’s different than a diseased gall bladder. Indiana Solicitor General Thomas Fisher (arguing in favor of the law): It's a human being. Make a Donation Today! Click here to pray for Life Legal cases.
