Supreme Court allows Texas' controversial abortion ban to take effect

Justice Samuel Alito, who oversees matters coming out of federal courts for the 5th Circuit, which includes Texas, gave the state until 5 p.m. Tuesday to lay out its argument for rejecting the request. He could decide on his own or refer the matter to the full court for a vote.

ACLU said that by allowing anyone to sue a person they believe is providing abortion or assisting someone in accessing abortion after six weeks, the law"actively encourages private individuals to act as bounty hunters by awarding them at least $10,000 if they are successful."The United States Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., May 17, 2021.

S.B. 8 runs plainly counter to the Supreme Court's precedent in 1973's Roe v. Wade and affirmed in 1992's Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which established that state restrictions on abortion before a fetus can be viable outside the womb are unconstitutional.

What is controversial is not the law, it's the abortion!!

It’s not the least bit shocking that the US Supreme Court has been corrupted by the rigged appointments of Political extremists and fanatics who put the archaic, primitive Federalist Society’s perverted interpretation of the constitution into practice.

Can't they just ban it completely

I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born. Ronald Reagan

Just flatly disobey the stupid law. Sheriff Bubba can’t arrest everyone. In the meantime, press our young women to protect themselves. Remind them it is their body and their choice before pregnancy, too.

Saving babies 🙋‍♂️

The Supreme Court is as supreme as the Republicans are fair-minded and truthful. The Supreme Court has become a pawn in the hands of the Republicans.

Super f’d up

Supreme Court asked to block Texas' six-week abortion banGroup of abortion-rights advocates and providers file emergency request with the Supreme Court asking the justices to block implementation of a new Texas law that bans procedures as early as 6 weeks. I'm guessing that this 'law' is 100% illegal. Whether you are for or against abortion it is currently legal in all 50 states without a 6-week ban (correct me if I'm wrong) . FYI, I'm pro life but I obey our laws. When killing unborn babies what's the proper time frame? What next? A ban on contraception? These fools really want to get in a good spot in the line for The Rapture I guess!
