I have full confidence in Att. General Abbotts efforts to appeal this decision."
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas This ruling is a tragic setback for Texans who care deeply about the rights of the unborn" said Lt. Governor David Dewhurst following the injunction of the Texas sonogram law by a federal judge.
I am not surprised by this decision said Senator Dan Patrick author of the
Senate Bill. Its clear to me from the inflammatory language in the order that Judge Sparks was predisposed to this decision.
I will work with Attorney General Abbott to appeal this ruling" said Dewhurst .
Every life lost to abortion is a tragedy and todays ruling is a great disappointment to all Texans who stand in defense of life said Gov. Rick Perry about U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks injunction against Texas recently-passed sonogram bill.
This important sonogram legislation ensures that every Texas woman seeking an abortion has all the facts about the life she is carrying and understands the devastating impact of such a life-changing decision. I
have full confidence in Attorney General Abbotts efforts to appeal this decision as he defends the laws enacted by the Texas Legislature" Perry said.
It is disappointing that a group from out-of-state that does not value life can successfully interfere with Texas public policy said Patrick.
The most tragic result of Sparks decision is that hundreds of innocent lives will be lost every day because women continue to be denied medical information that they have a right to know Patrick said.
I am confident that this legislation will ultimately be held constitutional by the courts said Patrick.
