What would you expect from this woman who's claim to fame is standing up for late term abortions (for the killing of ones child up to birth) for the women in this country
Contrary to known reality.
Like most Texans, Sen. Davis opposes late-term abortions except when the life or health of the mother is endangered, in cases of rape or incest or in the case of severe and irreversible fetal abnormalities....
"You know, the Supreme Court has made that decision. And it’s one of the protected liberties under our Constitution. And I respect the constitutional protections that are in place today."
The Supreme Court’s 1973 landmark decision in
Roe v Wade struck down a Texas law that banned all abortions except those performed to save the mother’s life.
The justices ruled then that states can’t restrict or ban abortions in the first trimester (
roughly three months or the first 12 weeks of the pregnancy). Their ruling said, though, that states can make laws governing abortions in the second trimester if the laws are "reasonably related" to the woman’s health. After the point at which fetuses attain "viability," meaning they can survive outside the womb, states can limit or ban abortions unless the woman’s life is in danger, the court held.
So in her response in Washington, Davis signaled that she both accepts letting states limit abortions after the first trimester and limit or ban abortions after fetuses are viable, unless the mother’s life is at risk.
