Court throws out NAACP challenge to Ariz. law against sex-, race-based abortions
Thursday, Oct 3, 2013
The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Casey Mattox regarding a federal court’s decision to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the NAACP and the ACLU against an Arizona bill that prohibits gender- and race-based abortions:
“Every innocent life deserves to be protected, and that’s especially true of babies being targeted for death simply because of their sex or race. There is nothing medically necessary or constitutionally protected about an abortion that is committed on the basis of sex or race, and the NAACP should be opposed to such a practice more than anyone. The court has done the right thing in dismissing this meritless lawsuit.”
