Rose on SCOTUS case:  Don’t give abortionists a pass because they’d rather line their pockets than meet basic safety standards

ARLINGTON, VA (March 2, 2016) — Statement from Lila Rose, president and founder of Live Action, on the U.S. Supreme Court hearing of the Texas abortion facility regulations case today (Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt):

“Because of Live Action’s nine years of undercover investigative work, we have a unique ‘inside’ perspective into our nation’s abortion facilities.  Our video footage shows workers repeatedly lying to women about how developed their babies are and whether they can feel pain during an abortion, as well as the potential complications of abortion and whether the facility had previously sent clients to the emergency room.

“Live Action’s investigations also found abortionists complicit in trying to cover up sex crimes against minors by offering to provide abortions and not alerting law enforcement, and admitting that they would break the law by refusing to perform life-saving procedures on babies born alive from botched abortions.

Dear Reader,

Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.

That number should break our hearts and move us to action.

Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.

Live Action’s amicus brief to the Supreme Court details several incidents of ethical, health, and safety violations from our own investigations and from others we have compiled as a news service.  These repeated violations show that the abortion industry regularly puts its own interests above the safety of its clients and the law.

“Even the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade declared that abortion is subject to limitations and that states can create health and safety standards to protect mothers and preborn children.  Abortion facilities shouldn’t be given a pass just because they’d rather line their pockets than pay to update their facilities to meet the basic health and safety standards hospitals and health care clinics have to follow.”
