Fleming: SCOTUS Decision "Indefensible'
Statement
Congressman John Fleming, M.D. released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Texas state statutes designed to protect women by requiring that abortion facilities meet certain health and safety standards.
"Once again this court has re-written a law to its own liking, creating one of most absurd conclusions ever ruled. In dissent, Justice Alito pointed out that in striking down the whole law to save the left's abortion agenda, he points out basic common-sense being obliterated: "Provisions that are indisputably constitutional--for example, provisions that require facilities performing abortions to follow basic fire safety measures--are stricken from the books. There is no possible justification for this collateral damage.' Such irrational thinking by the court's left wing signals continued, possibly irreparable, erosion of our cultural norms.
"We've already seen what happens when these facilities are not held to the same health safety standards as any other health clinic -- negligence, unsanitary conditions, and within the walls of Kermit Gosnell's clinic -- even murdering women along with their children. The abortion industry is out to make money, not protect women's health. Like Dred, these type of decisions must be revisited."
