"My son Stephen has shown me the inherent beauty in life, and he brings immense joy and love to his loved ones and those around him." -Attorney General Eric Schmitt, Missouri

[LifeSiteNews.com] Missouri's Republican Attorney General Eric Schmitt has asked the US Supreme Court to affirm the constitutionality of banning abortions sought on the basis of a Down syndrome diagnosis, as well as to reconsider the Court's longstanding precedent asserting a general "right" to abortion.

"My son Stephen has shown me the inherent beauty in life, and he brings immense joy and love to his loved ones and those around him," Schmitt said on July 1. "Since taking office, I've fought to protect all life, including the unborn. A pre-natal diagnosis of Down syndrome should not be a death sentence. It's my hope that the Supreme Court will grant our petition for writ of certiorari and hear this critically important case."

Specifically, the petition asks the nation's highest court whether "Missouri's restriction on abortions performed solely because the unborn child may have Down syndrome is categorically invalid ... or whether it is a valid, reasonable regulation of abortion that seeks to prevent the elimination of children with Down syndrome through eugenic abortion"; whether "restrictions on abortions performed after eight, fourteen, eighteen, and twenty weeks' gestational age are categorically invalid" or "valid, reasonable regulations of abortion that advance important state interests"; and whether Roe v. Wade's "penumbral" right to abortion "should be overruled"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
