Last week, representatives of the 3,348 Women Injured by Abortion
who filed an Amicus Curiae brief at the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) in support
of the Texas law protecting women’s health and safety (Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt) appeared at Family Research
Council, (Media Center). Cindy Collins,
Myra Myers, and Nona Ellington, Women Injured by Abortion, and their lawyer,
Allan E. Parker, President of The Justice Foundation, were present to answer
media questions concerning their brief at SCOTUS. Also, appearing was Jen Brown, the producer
of the documentary film “3801 Lancaster: American Tragedy,” about the
imprisoned abortionist Kermit Gosnell whose horrific practices and lack of
health and safety standards led to the death, disease, and depression of women.
The story brought national attention to
the issue of health and safety standards for women at abortion clinics; specifically,
a woman named Karnamaya Mongar, who died as a result of Gosnell’s actions. Attorney Jonathan Saenz of Texas Values filed
an Amicus Curiae brief at SCOTUS on behalf of Jen Brown and the film
project … which led to the Texas law for
the health and safety of women being enacted.
As women injured by the abortion industry, these women know
first-hand that the abortion industry misleads and deceives women and does not
adequately protect their health in the abortion context. The Justice Foundation has collected the
legally admissible testimonies of over 4,500 women injured by abortion and
represents 3,348 of these women in their Amicus Curiae brief at SCOTUS.
The women’s brief also makes the legal point that
hemorrhaging, punctured uteruses, colons and other severe problems often occur
during or after an abortion. Texas is
not seeking to eliminate abortion through this law, as evidenced by the fact
that any doctor in Texas, including obstetricians and gynecologists, can
perform up to 50-abortions in their own office which would provide far more
than the 63,849 abortions which were performed in Texas the last year data was
available.
Based on the Plaintiff/Abortionists’ own expert witnesses,
210-Texas women must be hospitalized for abortion each year. 10-patients per week have to go to an
emergency room after an abortion ... thus showing that serious injuries are
common enough to require ER or hospital type assistance and, therefore, serious
safety regulations are needed.
Planned Parenthood’s defense is defenseless! Don’t argue that your clinics should remain
open while putting women at risk. That
is the height of hypocrisy!

The left keeps telling us that abortion is "settled law" yet it becomes an issue in virtually every election and every campaign. Prohibition was "settled law" and was overturned by the most difficult process our law allows. The abortion decision was just a decision. It was a decision based on a misinterpretation of the Constitution. It's really quite simple, abortion is murder, murder is illegal in all 50 states!
