Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A pro-life law firm has filed a brief wi=

the Supreme Court in the case concerning the Congressional-approved ban on
partial-birth abortions. The American Center for Law and Justice told the
court to reject the argument made by abortion advocates that abortion is
safer than childbirth.
After President Bush signed the partial-birth abortion ban, pro-abortion
groups launched three lawsuits against it and federal appeals courts in
Nebraska, New York and California declared the ban unconstitutional.

The ACLJ has already filed a brief in the Nebraska case and submitted pap=

in the California case on Thursday.

"Yet again we see the proponents of abortion making the false assertion t=

abortion is actually safer than childbirth," said Jay Sekulow, the ACLJ's
chief counsel.

"That assertion is not only inaccurate but in fact is the reverse of the
truth, which is that abortion is more dangerous than childbirth. Our brie=

with careful documentation, explodes the myth of abortion as safer than
childbirth," Sekulow explained.

The legal papers are important because the Supreme Court rejected a state
ban on partial-birth abortions in a 2000 case and said the ban needed a
health exception in cases when a partial-birth abortion is necessary to
protect the woman's health.

However, numerous doctors groups have said that the three-day long aborti=

procedure is never necessary to protect the health of the mother or in an
emergency situation and specialists testified to that during the lower co=

trials.

The ACLJ brief explains that the comparison of maternal mortality and
abortion mortality statistics is akin to mixing apples and oranges and
cannot be compared one-to-one. Further, the brief asserts the comparison =

invalid because the data itself is inaccurate and incomplete.

The brief also cites numerous published research studies - in this country
and abroad - as evidence that "strongly indicates that abortion, rather t=

being safer than childbirth, is in fact more dangerous."

"In sum, there is ample reason to believe that abortion is detrimental to
maternal health and, if anything, more likely to lead to death or other
adverse consequences than is continuing the pregnancy," the brief argues.

"This Court should take with a very large grain of salt any assertion that
abortion is healthy for women, much less some sort of panacea. There is g=

reason to believe precisely the contrary," it said.

In the Nebraska case, the ACLJ filed an amicus brief with the high court
representing some 80 members of Congress and more than 320,000 Americans
asking the high court to uphold the ban.

The California case is Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood Federation of Ameri=

and the high court will likely combine the cases into one. The Nebraska c=

is Gonzales v. Carhart.

The high court is expected to hold hearings this fall and announce a
decision in early 2007.
