ANDOVER, KANSAS -- Liberty Counsel filed an amicus brief on behalf of three groups of pro-life physicians in support of the Kansas law known as the Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act, which currently bans "dismemberment" abortions.
In the brief, Liberty Counsel represents the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Pediatricians and the Catholic Medical Association arguing that the law banning "dismemberment" abortions should be upheld. This common type of procedure for second trimester abortions is defined, in part as, "knowingly dismembering a living unborn child and extracting such unborn child one piece at a time from the uterus."
