| The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an important abortion case in which a woman asked her physician if “it was a baby in there” and was told, "Don’t be stupid, it’s just blood." “The Court’s rejection is disappointing and disturbing because it allows a physician to give a pregnant woman false and misleading information,” said Linda Schlueter, President of the Trinity Legal Center (TLC), which filed an amicus brief with the Court in the case, Acuna v. Turkish. “Allowing a physician to tell a woman that her baby is ‘just blood’ is outrageous,” said Caron Strong, Director of the Women’s Council on Abortion for TLC. “This type of lie causes women, at a very vulnerable and stressful time, to make a decision with long-lasting, devastating effects,” said Strong, who has experienced the harm and regret of abortion. “This shows the importance of voting and Supreme Court appointments,” she said.

| SD Law: Abortionists must tell women "abortion will end the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being" The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit ruled that the South Dakota informed consent law can go into effect. The ruling cited the detrimental effects of abortion on women in the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the 2007 partial birth abortion case (Carhart v. Gonzales). That case cited an amicus brief written by Trinity Legal Center President Linda Schlueter that included testimony of women who suffered from abortion. The only abortion facility in SD chose to remain closed rather than comply with the law.
