God forbid a woman hear the truth before they kill their baby.
(LifeSiteNews) – An abortionist and his local Planned Parenthood affiliate sued in federal court Thursday to stop a law that would tell women considering abortion that an unborn child is not a part of her own body and that unborn children can feel pain by the third trimester of pregnancy.
Abortionist Orrin Moore, director of the Overland Park Planned Parenthood, sought to block a provision of the Kansas 2013 Pro-Life Protections Act that requires abortionists to inform mothers who seek abortions that they are ending the life of a “whole, separate, unique, living human being.”
According to Moore, the statement that an abortion terminates the life of a separate human being is “a misleading statement of philosophical and/or religious belief.”
He claims in his lawsuit that the law violates his First Amendment right to free speech by forcing him to say something he personally believes to be untrue.
Moore was joined in his lawsuit by Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, which objects to a section of the law that requires abortionists to inform patients that an unborn child can feel pain by the 20th week following fertilization. Planned Parenthood claims that information is “irrelevant” because “all or virtually all” of the patients at their Overland Park abortion center abort before the 20th week of pregnancy.
The lawsuit also seeks to overturn a provision of the law requiring abortion clinic websites to provide a link to a Kansas Department of Health and Environment page with accurate information about abortion and fetal development.
Kansas has required informed consent since 1998, but launched the website in 2009 to more efficiently convey the required information, which includes an interactive, real-time ultrasound simulation of normal pregnancy development.
