Trump Judge Is the Hero and Lefty Judge Has a Fit as the Sixth Circuit Breathes New Life Into a Tennessee Abortion Law

This week was a good week for the cause of life, at least in the Sixth Circuit. My colleague, Shipwreckedcrew, posted earlier on yesterday’s decision by the Sixth Circuit sitting en banc to uphold an Ohio law that prevents a diagnosis of an infant potentially having Down Syndrome being used as a reason for having an abortion. Read Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Upholds Ohio Law Prohibiting Doctors From Aborting Down Syndrome Children. That was a 9-7 decision. And even though Chief Justice John Roberts believes in leprechauns and that there are no such thing as Obama judges and Trump judges (see Federal Judge Shows Why CJ John Roberts Was Dead Wrong About There Being No Obama Judges for background), all of Clinton’s appointees and all of Obama’s appointees voted to allow selective abortion based upon potential disability (and one of George W. Bush’s because…just because). All of Trump’s appointees voted to defend the sanctity of life, as did the sole G. H. W. Bush appointee and most of George W. Bush’s. This decision was a rehearing of a decision by a three-judge panel in October 2019 that struck down the law. In that decision, an Obama judge and a Clinton judge formed the majority while a George H. W. Bush judge dissented.
