Texas Abortion Law Takes Effect Pending Supreme Court Action
The Supreme Court didn’t act on a request to block the law, which bars the procedure after about six weeks of pregnancy, making it the most restrictive abortion law in effect in the U.S.www.wsj.com
"A new Texas abortion law that bars the procedure after approximately six weeks of pregnancy took effect Wednesday, after the Supreme Court didn’t act on an emergency request by clinics and abortion-rights advocates to block it. When the court said nothing by midnight, the ban officially went into force, making it the most restrictive abortion law in effect in the U.S. The state law dictates that a physician can’t knowingly perform an abortion if there is a detectable fetal heartbeat after 6 weeks of pregnancy. Abortion-rights advocates typically challenge new restrictions before they go into effect by suing the government officials -- but lawmakers devised a measure that shifts enforcement from the state to private parties. Under the new law private parties can file civil lawsuits against any person who allegedly performs or aids a banned abortion, or who intends to do so. Under the law, a successful suit entitles the plaintiff to collect at least $10,000 in damages per abortion challenged."
One of the many good things about living in Texas is now one is able to sue any whore whom they think had an abortion, along with the doctor that helped that whore; the receptionist at the clinic -- and even the person who gave the whore a ride to the clinic -- if you want, you can sue all of them.. In fact, there are already lawsuits in the works to sue..For example, there is a lawyer in Collin County, Tx who donated to abortion rights groups; now that person is getting sued...and there is this other lawyer who represents women who were impregnated from "sexual assault" and are trying to get abortions -- not so fast...they are getting sued too....At $10,000 per abortion challenge, one can make a pretty penny or at least put these folks who are part of this abortion industry out of business and hopefully in jail -- because that is what freedom is all about.
Conservatives couldn't care less about ending abortion, it's about compelling conformity and punishing dissent.
Finally, someone stands up for those who can't speak for themselves.
Such is the authoritarian right, more government, bigger government at the expense of individual liberty.
The conservatives on the Supreme Court just ended Roe v. Wade without lifting a finger. Literally. They refused to act to block a new law in Texas from going into effect, the most restrictive abortion ban in the nation. The Court needed to act by midnight and did not, so this morning millions of Texans woke up in a state in which it’s virtually impossible to legally access an abortion.

This is going to work out well for the rapist and the incestuous father who gets his daughter pregnant.This Texas law makes no exceptions for rape and incest.

God has no problems killing children why should we?Aww it's okay...just because you can't murder children anymore doesn't mean you can have no fun whatsoever.
Once you make the world fair I will agree.You are confused Moon Bat. Only you demented asshole Moon Bats demand the right to kill children for the sake of convenience.
You sickos can go and kiss the ass of the queer Feminaizs all you want. Killing children is wrong.
If the baby has a heart beat they are a living being. I applaud Texas. There are all types of birth control, no reason for abortions.The women in Texas really should wake up.
The politicians in Texas are taking away their rights and our courts won't do anything about it.
The women and all intelligent people of Texas really should vote those republicans out of office.
The women of child bearing years in Texas will now have to take pregnancy tests monthly so they know if they are pregnant before that 6 week deadline.
We will see women leave Texas for their abortions. We will see women and young girls die or harmed because of this law. They will try to induce miscarriage or go on line to buy the abortion pill and take it without doctor to monitor the process for any complications. Women could end up bleeding which could cause infertility or even die.
This could cause backlash big time on the republicans.
Lol, after Biden a liberal will be lucky to get a dog Catcher job.This may be the final straw that pushes court expansion and eliminating the filibuster.
So terminating a 5 week old fetus is different from terminating 6 week old one how?You are confused Moon Bat. Only you demented asshole Moon Bats demand the right to kill children for the sake of convenience.
You sickos can go and kiss the ass of the queer Feminaizs all you want. Killing children is wrong.
