From Fox News:
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to block controversial Texas abortion restrictions that have been called some of the strictest in the country and have led a dozen abortion clinics in the state to stop performing the procedure.
The four liberal justices who voted in favor of the request said they would have overturned the appeals court's Oct. 31 ruling that allowed the law to take effect.
In its 20-page ruling, the panel of appeals court judges acknowledged that the law's provision requiring doctors to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital "may increase the cost of accessing an abortion provider and decrease the number of physicians available to perform abortions."
However, the panel said that the U.S. Supreme Court has held that having "the incidental effect of making it more difficult or more expensive to procure an abortion cannot be enough to invalidate" a law that serves a valid purpose, "one not designed to strike at the right itself." The provision has led at least 12 clinics in the state to stop performing abortions since the ruling. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/11/19/supreme-court-refuses-to-block-texas-abortion-restrictions/
What gets me is why the pro-death, pro-abortion people want to put a woman's life in danger by having bad doctors and bad clinics operating?
By having a highly qualified doctor and a safe and clean clinic, is that such a big deal?
