Texas Abortion Groups Continue Attack on State's Pro-life Laws
The fight over abortion law in Texas is making news again.
Last year, the United States Supreme Court struck down the pro-life Texas law requiring that abortionists have admitting privileges at hospitals, and ensuring that abortion facilities adhere to the same building codes as ambulatory medical clinics.
The 2013 law had been a victory for the pro-life movement, resulting in over half the state’s abortion clinics being shuttered.
Now, a pro-abortion group is using that 2016 ruling in an attempt to have a number of additional pro-life laws, which have been on the books for decades, repealed.
Woman’s Whole Health, a chain of Texas abortion clinics and the plaintiff in the original 2016 case against the state of Texas, have just filed another lawsuit. This time, the clinic is targeting a number of laws that place what are considered to be standard restrictions on abortions: the requirement that only doctors (as opposed to clinic staff) perform abortions, standards for licensing, required ultrasounds in which the mother is shown the image of her baby, and mandatory 24-hour waiting periods.

Britain is terrorists’ top European target
The UK experienced the highest number at 107 – including 88 security-related incidents in Northern Ireland. France recorded the second largest with 54, followed by Spain at 16, Italy at 14 and Greece at eight. Researchers found attacks in EU countries killed 68 people and injured 844.
Nearly all fatalities and casualties resulted from terrorist atrocities.
Islamist attacks increased from 13 in 2016 to 33 in 2017, while nationalist and separatist attacks accounted for the largest proportion of the incidents, at 137.
