Whether you think it's right or wrong to kill babies in the womb, it's probably a safe bet to say that most everybody thinks abortion's a surgical procedure. So, in order to make the procedure or murder safe, it makes sense to force abortion clinics to operate under regulations for "ambulatory surgical centers."
Well, sense perhaps to anyone but the Supreme Court of the United States, who've ruled along partisan lines to overturn Texas legislation that would have acted to reduce the possibility of Kermit Gosnell-style Houses of Horror occurring in the Lone Star State.
Regardless of SCOTUS' belief that abortion is a constitutional right, really, the framers of the Constitution would have thought that? what's on display here is a radical disconnect between a politicized Supreme Court and what the people of a state believe is right and true.
Nothing, per the SCOTUS majority, must stand against the sacred right of abortion, not even normal surgical center regulations. Texans, via their legislature, think otherwise and at some point there has to be a clash, or constitutional crisis.
The bottom line is this. Citizens should not obey unjust laws and, as a matter fact, people won't obey laws that they don't believe in. Any court which attempts to impose them becomes irrelevant at best, or a touchstone of anger, division and conflict at worst. With this latest ruling, it seems we're on course for the latter.
No wonder Texans are talking about leaving the Union and, in case you wondered, the Lone Star State has roughly the same GDP as Australia and more people.
Texit,
