Here is a link to a LifeNews.com story on the 11th Circuit’s August 22, 2018 decision in West Alabama Women’s Center v. Williamson affirming a lower court decision invalidating Alabama’s ban on dismemberment abortions. Here is a link to the court’s opinion.
An interesting feature of the decision is that both Chief Judge Carnes (the author of the lead opinion) and Judge Dubina (who wrote a short special concurrence) indicated their dissatisfaction with Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Judge Dubina expressly noted that he agreed with Justice Thomas’s view that the Supreme Court’s abortion jurisprudence has no basis in the Constitution. This case is likely headed to the United States Supreme Court.
