(LifeSite News) A federal court has cleared Arkansas to enforce a series of abortion restrictions bitterly opposed by the abortion lobby, including a ban on second-trimester dismemberment procedures.
CBS News reports that last Friday, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling that had blocked the 2017 restrictions, the most significant of which is a ban on the dilation and evacuation (D&E) abortion procedure (more commonly known as “dismemberment abortions” because they tear a preborn baby apart limb by limb). The ban takes effect August 28, and abortionists will face up to six years in jail and/or a fine of up to $10,000 for violating it.
