Sandra Cano, who was Mary Doe of Doe v. Bolton, joined by 180 women hurt by abortion, has asked the Supreme Court in an amicus brief to uphold the federal ban on killing a child during delivery, known as partial birth abortion procedure.
On November 8, the Supreme Court of the United States will hear oral arguments in Gonzalez v. Carhart, the partial birth abortion case. The Justice Foundation represents Sandra Cano, the original plaintiff in Doe v. Bolton, the companion case to Roe v. Wade. The landmark ruling in the Doe case created the health exception that is at the heart of the partial birth abortion case now before the Supreme Court.
Sandra Cano said, I never wanted or sought an abortion. I desire with all of my heart to see the Supreme Court reverse Roe v. Wade and my own case, Doe v. Bolton. See Sandras testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee at www.operationoutcry.org.
The amicus brief has the unique perspective of 180 women hurt by abortion showing the many devastating effects of abortion on women and that abortion endangers their physical, emotional, and psychological health. Therefore the law banning partial birth abortion, which does not include a health exception, should be upheld. The brief is available at www.operationoutcry.org.
