13. This is one step toward overturning Roe v. Wade
They have politicized a medical procedure-which is only performed if the mother's life is endangered-and relabeled it 'partial-birth abortion'. My sister-in-law would have died from severe complications had this procedure not been available, and left five little orphans under 7 years old.

I think you give a lot of these judges too much credit. Judging from some of the posts on other threads about the ban, the child's life is worth more than the mother's. And if a case comes before a judge with this belief system, then the woman is doomed. Bear in mind that a lot of judges these days have been appointed by Repukes.
