Murder a greater priority than safety: Supreme Court asked to drop clinic safety regulations

Allowing women to murder their unborn has become more important than providing regulated safety requirements in clinics across the United States.

With Justice Antonin Scalia's death come complications for two Texas regulations that are currently being challenged before the Supreme Court, both of which concern the safety of female patients.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Justice Anthony Kennedy has been the focus of the Supreme Court case involving the safety of patients at abortion clinics across the United States.

Without Scalia's vote, the decision falls on Kennedy's shoulders to potentially cause abortion clinics across the United States to close down.

David Cohen, a law professor at Dexel University, told The Washington Post: "Justice Kennedy's the only path to victory for the clinics. The key is going to be whether Kennedy thinks this is broader than any restriction he's seen."

For those who are unable to see that life begins at conception, the restrictions are a hindrance to women who are desperate to destroy the precious life within them. To the rest of us, the regulations require doctors who perform abortions to have "admitting privileges," which means they can treat patients at local hospitals when there are critical cases or if a patient requires surgery.

The second regulation demands all clinics to adhere to building safety standards and contain hospital-grade facilities to treat patients who require critical care or surgery.

Regardless of claims that the regulations were designed to make it harder for women to have abortions, the bottom line is they provide common sense safety standards for critical situations and hold the potential to at least save the life of the mother if the procedure threatens her life too.

Abortion providers were outraged by the requirement to provide a sterile, medically-appropriate environment because of the costs associated with outfitting their buildings with the proper hospital-grade equipment. This betrays their true incentive, which is profit, and not women's health and safety as they so often claim.

When several clinics were did not prepare for the changes, they were forced to close their doors.

Since the Texas regulations were passed in 2013, the number of abortion mills dropped from 40 to nineteen. Should the Supreme Court rule the regulations constitutional and vote to spread them nationally, providers estimated the number of clinics to fall by 90 percent.

The American Medical Association (AMA) claimed the regulations are not evidence-based or designed to improve women's health.

The fact that the AMA claims such things when all the Texas regulations ask for is additional safety for women is appalling. Please pray that the Supreme Court passes the regulations into national law - not only to enforce the closures of abortion clinics across the country, but also to require all clinics to provide potentially life-saving equipment and uphold common sense safety regulations.
