With the Supreme Court set to take up pre-viability abortions in the Dobbs. v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization<\/em><\/a> case this fall, many are taking a necessary second look at the brutality of second-trimester abortion procedures and questioning why any civilized society would allow such a thing to remain legal.<\/p>\n

Senator Ted Cruz recently told a Congressional panel<\/a>\u00a0addressing a hearing about the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA) \u2014\u00a0an effort to essentially codify and expand\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/em> into law \u2014”In these abortions a physician cuts and rips apart the unborn child’s body and extracts – piece by piece – arm by arm – leg by leg – what moments before had been a living human being.”<\/p>\n

“The unborn child dies the same way as an adult would die would they have been dismembered,” Cruz added. “By bleeding to death as his or her body is torn apart.\u00a0These abortions, known as dilation and evacuation, or D&E abortions, are horrendous. They have no place in civilized society.”<\/p>\n
