The Federal Courts

Not only does the public get duped by the CDC, but so does the judicial system. One example occurred in June 1983, as the Supreme Court again heard arguments on the safety and regulations of abortion. This time, second-trimester abortions were the point in question and the Court used the testimony of Cates and Grimes to rule in favor of easing some regulations on these abortions. The Court also used public health recommendations based on the premise that outpatient Dilatation and Evacuation (D&E) procedures were safer than those performed in the hospital.130 However, this recommendation failed to take into account that, by this time, the overwhelming majority of abortions were being performed in clinics. Normally, the only patients who have the procedure performed in a hospital are those who were too ill to have it done in a clinic. Therefore, the comparison was being made between healthy women having abortions in outpatient clinics, and unhealthy women having abortions in a hospital. Also, it is likely that the procedures performed in clinics were done at earlier gestational ages than those in the hospital. It stretches the imagination to believe that Cates and Grimes were not aware of the problems with the study being used to decide the Supreme Court case, and yet they remained silent.131
