Attorney General Ken Paxton today released the following statement after the first day of a trial in U.S. District Court over the constitutionality of Senate Bill 8, a law enacted by the Texas Legislature to protect unborn human life from ghastly dismemberment abortions:
“Today marks the beginning of a historic trial in Texas, where we’re defending Texas’ legal right, authorized by Senate Bill 8, to protect the basic human rights and dignity of the unborn,” Attorney General Paxton said. “Senate Bill 8 reasonably prohibits live dismemberment of babies still in the womb, a brutal, gruesome and inhumane procedure that involves an abortionist tearing a fully formed child apart limb by limb until its death.”
