Supreme Court Decision on Abortion Could Increase the Danger of Abortion to Texas Women
Contact: Allan E. Parker , The Justice Foundation, 210-614-7157, info@txjf.org; www.thejusticefoundation.org, www.operationoutcry.org  
 
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 20, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- Over 200 Texas women are already hospitalized annually in Texas as a result of abortion under current procedures. Over 500 Texas women a year already have to be taken by ambulance from the abortion clinic to hospitals and emergency rooms. Based on the abortionists' own expert witnesses, 210 Texas women per year must be hospitalized for abortion. 10 patients per week have to go to an emergency room after an abortion, see Texas Brief on the merits, p. 35. This shows that serious abortion injuries are common enough to require ER and hospital admitting privileges and serious safety regulations.
 
If the Texas law requiring ambulatory surgical centers and hospital admitting privileges is struck down, these numbers could increase dramatically. These injuries include punctured uteruses, punctured colons, punctured bowels, hemorrhaging, severe bleeding, septic shock and other life threatening injuries. The abortion industry wants the Supreme Court to ignore these life-threatening injuries.  
 
3,348 Women Injured by Abortion represented by The Justice Foundation were hurt by the unsafe medical practices, misrepresentations and deception of the abortion industry. Many of them suffered physical injuries as mentioned above. Many more suffered serious psychological injuries as a result of their abortions. All have asked the Court to uphold Texas' law which allows abortion regulation with an emphasis on women's safety. The Brief documents extensive injuries to women.
 
The women's Amicus Curiae Brief also shows that Texas doctors can still legally perform far more abortions in Texas than were performed in recent years. The 2,549 Texas members of ACOG (American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) alone could each do 50 abortions per year, even if the Texas law is upheld, for a total of 127,450 abortions. Even under the Texas law, any doctor can still perform up to 50 abortions per year. On the other hand, Texas Health Department statistics, in 2014, the last year for which statistics are available, show only 63,849 abortions were performed in Texas.  
 
Allan Parker, President of The Justice Foundation and Counsel of Record, stated, "The argument that women won't have access to abortions in Texas if safety laws are upheld is another exaggeration, a misleading deception by the abortionists. The thousands of women that I represent have been seriously and grievously injured by the abortion industry." 
 
Women who have experienced abortion say: 
 
Cindy Collins says, "The Supreme Court must listen to the massive pain and large numbers of women hurt by abortion."   
 
Myra Myers says, "As a married woman, I know that nothing wounds you like being responsible for the death of your own child, whether married or not."  
 
Nona Ellington says, "It ruined any chance of giving birth. As a result, I had 5 miscarriages, 3 of them tubal pregnancies, requiring emergency surgery and were very near death experiences. I have suffered from several bouts of depression and attempted suicide, selfmutilation and an 18 year-long abusive marriage as an aftermath of the abortion."
