The one characteristic about humans that has endured throughout our development is our ability to find new and horrific ways to kill each other, even creating an entire 'industry' to do so via abortions.

So it shouldn't surprise you that as the U.S. Supreme Court is seen moving closer to either overturning the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing the procedure or severely curtailing it, the abortion industry is trotting out another means of killing the unborn: Literally starving the baby to death in the womb.

"While the Supreme Court has heard arguments on abortion laws in both Mississippi and Texas in recent months, providers have taken the opportunity to push dangerous abortion pills," The Western Journal reports. "The push hasn't been lost on Kristan Hawkins. She took to the pages of National Review and blasted the move from the abortion industry in no uncertain terms."

The news comes on the heels of a federal court ruling this week leaving the Texas law in place. The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 decision, ruled to remand a challenge by abortion providers to the state's so-called "heartbeat" law, which bars the procedure after a fetal heart tone is detected, to the Texas Supreme Court, which is what attorneys for the Lone Star State sought.

"The move by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals effectively prolongs the litigation over the unusual anti-abortion statute, leaving in place a law that has led to a dramatic reduction in the number of abortions performed in the state since the measure took effect in September," Politico reported following the ruling.
