[About the June 27, ruling by the Supreme Court about abortion restrictions. Bold text in original]

Women deserve better than walking into an abortion facility that does not meet basic health codes like every other surgical facility.This commonsense legislation wasn’t about preventing abortion access; it was about keeping women safe. It required hallways be wide enough for a gurney in the case of an emergency, adequate lighting for an invasive surgery, admitting privileges to local hospitals, etc.

Now, every time a woman seeks an abortion, she will wonder if the facility is clean. She will wonder if the abortionist has the necessary credentials to local hospitals in case of an emergency. She will wonder if she is going into an abortion facility like Kermit Gosnell’s, which had been compared to a disgusting gas station bathroom with blood on both the floor and medical instruments.

The abortion industry cares more about their bottom line than spending the necessary money to make sure their facilities meet basic healthcare standards. Anything to protect the “sacred cow” of abortion. Justice Thomas said in his dissent, “ . . . today’s decision perpetuates the Court’s habit of applying different rules to different constitutional rights— especially the putative right to abortion.”

The Supreme Court failed us. The five Supreme Court justices who ruled against the law put their obsession with abortion ahead of the health and safety of women.
