A federal appeals court on Friday affirmed a lower court's decision to block a Tennessee measure signed into law last year that prohibits abortions after a "fetal heartbeat" is detected and prevents citing a Down syndrome or other medical diagnosis as justification for an abortion.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit said in its ruling that the district court's previous decision on the legislation, known as House Bill 2263, "closely follows the precedents of our circuit and those of the Supreme Court, as well as the persuasive opinions of other circuits."
"Although this circuit's recent and alarming decisions have broadened the extent to which the government may impede a person's constitutional right to choose whether to carry a pregnancy to term, the law remains clear that if a regulation is a substantial obstacle to a woman seeking an abortion, it is invalid," Senior Judge Martha Craig Daughtrey wrote for the majority opinion.

EVERY woman who chooses to abort or who is willing to support organizations that demand the right to perform them on-demand, at any point in pregnancy, should be compelled to volunteer in one of their "clinics" for at least a month and be forced to witness the procedure up close and personal.

At least the authoritarian right is consistent with its authoritarianism.

So you're volunteering to change all the diapers after the kids is born?

The 5th sez it's O.K. and the 6th sez it ain't. We know the 9th would rule for the baby killers but so far the Supreme Court isn't willing to take it up.

Good.

I hope the Supreme Court doesn't take the case.
