Fifth Circuit Upholds Abortion Health and Safety Regulations

For years, the abortion lobby has used the false argument of “access” to put its business interests ahead of women’s health and safety, and has consistently opposed any and all commonsense health and safety measures.

In addition, it has misread and misrepresented the abortion jurisprudence of the U.S. Supreme Court since Roe v. Wade. It should come as no surprise that the Fifth Circuit upheld Texas’s HB 2, which requires that abortion facilities comply with the minimum health and safety standards adopted by the State for ambulatory surgical centers, and that abortionists have admitting privileges in a local hospital near an abortion clinic.
