CONGRESSMAN PITTENGER’S STATEMENT ON SUPREME COURT TEXAS ABORTION RULING
Congressman Robert Pittenger (NC-09), a member of the Pro-Life Caucus, had this statement after the Supreme Court struck down two common sense safety regulations on abortion clinics:
“What happened to the pro-abortion mantra of ‘safe, legal, and rare’? Seems like they’ve come to the more radical position of ‘whenever, wherever and by whomever.’
“Kermit Gosnell was able to murder three infants who were born alive during attempted abortion procedures because of insufficient oversight. These laws were written to make sure such tragedies would not be able to happen again, but due to the zeal of radical pro-abortion activists, such protections for women and babies won’t be in place.
“This ruling also underscores the importance of filling Justice Scalia’s seat on the Supreme Court with someone equally committed to protecting the right to life.”
Congressman Pittenger was one of 174 Members of Congress to sign an amicus brief supporting the state of Texas in the case.
