Victory for life in Texas as abortion advocates lose their minds over latest defeat
FREE Catholic Classes
A major pro-life victory for the unborn will see the number of abortion mills in Texas reduced from 40 to just 10. And while that number is still 10 too many, the latest appeals court ruling in Texas represents a small victory for life.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Anti-life advocates such as the Guttmacher Institute are in anguish following a state appeals court ruling in Texas which upheld common sense safety laws for women. Those safety standards require that abortion mills at least meet surgical center standards and that the physicians who commit abortions have admitting privileges at local hospitals.
These standards ensure at least the mothers who enter abortion clinics will leave alive, even if their children do not. A by-product of this ruling is that 13 abortion clinics closed last Friday following Thursday's ruling.
Support a pro-life movement that works!
"It's devastating to go from over 40 abortion clinics to less than 10 in three years," Elizabeth Nash, an associate of the Guttmacher Institute told Al Jazeera. The comment reveals the backwardness of the thinking that abortion mill-proponents believe. The preservation of human life is literally "devastating" to them.
These same individuals, while admitting that some abortions do have complications that result in the hospitalization and occasional death of the mother, say the new requirements are unnecessary and burdensome. Yet, as long as these requirements help save lives, they should be made. It's common sense.
The problem is that the abortion industry is addicted to money-it's about profit, not "freedom" or "choice." The industry has whispered a seductive lie, saying that "choice" is freedom and that women are somehow victims because they can become pregnant. Pregnancy is situated right above infectious disease in their thinking and should be prevented.
Preventing pregnancy requires the habitual (and very profitable!) use of chemicals that shut down natural, God-designed biological processes that are inherent to womanhood. At the same time, women are encouraged to behave promiscuously by contemporary culture. The sum of this worldview is to sexualize women and enslave them.
The genius of the plot is that women are conditioned to feel "free" when they are addicted to chemicals and sex, and they feel enslaved when they are free to have children and start families. Women who choose traditional marriage and embrace motherhood are somehow viewed as weaker or lesser than their "free" counterparts.
This is the proof of Satan in the lies of the secular worldview. It is a telltale bloody fingerprint that proves the abortion industry has no interest in protecting women.
Indeed, at least half of all the children killed in abortion mills are future women. That's enough evidence to prove that abortion is as anti-woman as it gets.
