Statement from Live Action president Lila Rose on the Supreme Court decision to hear the challenge to the Texas abortion facilities regulations

Arlington, VA (November 13, 2015) “While no woman or preborn child is safe in an abortion clinic, it ought to raise huge red flags that the abortion industry is willing to compromise women’s safety even further by refusing to meet the same basic health and safety standards that most medical centers do.  Time and again, we see the abortion industry cutting corners – even to the point of putting women’s safety at risk – just to increase profits.  These are commonsense regulations, and the abortion industry needs to follow the same rules that everyone else has to. I am disappointed that the Supreme Court did not let the lower court’s ruling stand, but I am hopeful that this will be an opportunity for the justices to create a landmark case for the pro-life movement.”
