Not a Person

Congress can pass all the unconstitutional, anti-scientific, inhumane misogynistic crap it wants, because one fact cancels it all.

Political Animal:

* A federal judge struck down one of the anti-abortion movement’s most draconian laws.

This week, U.S. District Court Judge Lee Yeakel ruled that Senate Bill 8, a Texas law which restricted a common second-trimester abortion procedure, was unconstitutional.

In a pointed decision on November 22, Yeakel said that the bill “does not further the health of the woman before the fetus is viable.”

“That a woman may make the decision to have an abortion before a fetus may survive outside her womb is solely and exclusively the woman’s decision. The power to make this decision is her right,” Yeakel wrote. “Once the Supreme Court has defined the boundaries of a constitutional right, a district court may not redefine those boundaries. Further, the role of this district court is to preserve a right, not to search for a way to evade or lessen the right.”

"Solely and exclusively the woman's decision."
