What pro-lifers may call a "'huge, fatal blow' to the abortion lobby and a step forward in the 'unraveling' of Roe v. Wade", pro-aborts may refuse to acknowledge as a defeat. The issue at hand involves a South Dakota law which was upheld by a federal court. The law requires that doctors inform a woman having an abortion that the abortion "will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being."
The court, which said that the term "human being" could be used in a "biological sense" and not an "ideological" sense, overturned a requirement that women be notified that abortion "increases the risk of suicide and suicidal thoughts", saying this was "untruthful and misleading" (tell that to affected women!). The court also overturned the provision that a woman be told that she has an "existing legally protected relationship with her unborn child."
Reportedly, both parties are considering whether to appeal.
Facing the prospect that women will hear that their planned abortion "will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being" - even though they will not hear about their increased risk of suicide or that they have a legal relationship to their babies - a pro-abortion proponent still had the audacity to state that "We're thrilled."
Yea right.
