Federal court: Abortion ends human life, but not all humans are personsALLIANCE DEFENSE FUND NEWS RELEASE Federal court: Abortion ends human life, but not all humans are persons Judge says SD law can require doctors to inform women that abortion terminates a human being, but not a relationship with one SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — A federal court ruled Thursday that portions of South Dakota’s informed consent law requiring doctors to tell women contemplating abortion that they are terminating a human life are constitutional. But the judge struck down a portion requiring doctors to inform women that they are terminating a legally protected relationship with an unborn human being on the basis that the preborn are not “persons.” Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund authored and filed a friend-of-the-court brief defending the law on behalf of the Family Research Council.
