Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Signs Anti-Abortion Bill that Should Not Even Need to Have Been Written

In the minds of those who are pro-life, all abortions are equal, as in, all abortions are equally bad.

That said, it is difficult to consider the atrocity known as the dismemberment abortion, and not view that as being the worst of the worst.

On Tuesday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed Texas Senate Bill 8, which protects unborn babies from becoming victims of that unspeakable act. The following, from LifeNews.com, pretty much says it all:

���Texas Senate Bill 8 prohibits dismemberment abortions, a method typically used in the second trimester to kill nearly fully-formed, living unborn babies. It is a barbaric and dangerous procedure in which the unborn baby is ripped apart in the womb and pulled out in pieces while his or her heart is still beating.���

Perhaps even more stunning than dismemberment abortion���is the fact that a law has to be passed anywhere in 2017 America to keep it from happening. Sadly, only eight states, now including Texas, have laws on the books to protect the unborn from dismemberment abortions. The other seven are Alabama, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and West Virginia.

National Right to Life was quick to applaud Gov. Abbott���s signing of Texas Senate Bill 8. Ingrid Duran, National Right to Life Committee State Legislative Director, declared that ���the Texas Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act is a vital step in protecting pregnant mothers and their unborn children from being subject to such a dehumanizing experience,��� while Carol Tobias, President of National Right to Life, said that the group applauds ���the efforts of our affiliate, Texas Right to Life, and the pro-life dedication of the Texas legislature and Governor Abbott for their commitment in enacting this life-affirming law.���

Eight states down; 42 to go.
