Partial-Birth Abortion Trial
Transcripts
Partial-Birth
Abortion Cases heard by the Supreme Court
President Bush signed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban into
law on November 5, 2003. Because pro-abortion forces do not have the support of
the public on this issue, they have again gone to the courts, seeking to strike
down the law.
Federal Courts in the 2nd, 8th, and 9th Circuits ruled the
ban unconstitutional. Now, the Supreme Court has agreed to consider the case,
and is reviewing the decisions of the 8th and 9th Circuit courts. Oral arguments
will be heard on Wednesday, November 8.
In the federal courts, testimony from practicing
abortionists has been taken regarding the details of the procedure. Such
testimony, beyond its legal value, has tremendous educational value. Below are
the latest transcripts out of the courtrooms in New York, Nebraska, and
California. Please use this information in your newsletters, letters to the
editor, pro-life presentations, and personal efforts to educate your friends and
neighbors about the horror of abortion.
