Operation Rescue Denounces Kansas Appellate Ruling That Right to Dismember Babies Exists
January 22, 2016
Topeka,
Kansas - Just minutes ago, on the 43rd memorial of Roe v. Wade, the
full Kansas Court of Appeals issued a decision that maintains the
status quo blocking the first-in-the-nation law banning gruesome
dismemberment abortions. The split decision, 7-7, shows a sharp
disagreement within the Court concerning whether the Kansas Constitution
really includes the right to an abortion.
The case is expected to be appealed to the Kansas Supreme Court.
"The
Appellate Court took a pass on the very important question of whether
the Kansas Constitution contains a woman's right to kill her baby
through dismemberment in the womb in the most grisly and barbaric
manner. We completely denounce that decision," said Operation Rescue
President Troy Newman, whose national headquarters are located in
Wichita, Kansas.
The law banning second-trimester
dismemberment abortions, also known as Dilation and Evacuation
procedures, was passed last year then challenged in state court by the
father-daughter abortion team of Herbert Hodes and Tracy Nauser of
Overland Park.
"The ruling reveals that there is a
huge disagreement even within the courts about abortion and its legal
standing in Kansas," stated Cheryl Sullenger, Senior Vice President of
Operation Rescue. "We submit that it is the height of barbarism to
allow babies to be killed by tearing them limb from limb while they
struggle for life. Western civilization has rejected and condemned
human rights abuses such as human sacrifice, slavery, gladiatorial
blood sports, and the Jewish Holocaust. It is immorally inconsistent
with this historic stand against murder to embrace abortion."
To
mark the Roe v. Wade decision and stand against today's ruling,
Operation Rescue and the Kansas Coalition for Life will hold a sign-wave
and program outside Wichita's only abortion business, South Wind
Women's Services.
