The court's move means that the law -- which is one of the strictest in the nation and bans abortion before many people know they are pregnant -- will remain on the books. Texas' 6-week abortion ban lets private citizens sue in an unprecedented legal approachThe law allows private citizens to bring civil suits against anyone who assists a pregnant person seeking an abortion in violation of the ban. There were several dissents.
Read More"No federal appellate court has upheld such a comprehensive prohibition on abortions before viability under current law," she wrote."Taken together, the Act is a breathtaking act of defiance -- of the Constitution, of this Court's precedents, and of the rights of women seeking abortions throughout Texas." After it took effect early Wednesday morning, clinics across Texas drastically limited their services.
Yes! Keep abortions legal for only minorities!✊
Can we get women to cut their husbands and partners off until this law is overturned?
The Constitution tenthamendment trumps federal law. Hats off to scotus The founders had it RIGHT.
when you have to beg your women not to kill their own child train is off the f====g tracks
WTF?!
Many world companies will abandon Texas
Treat women how they treat men: Men are freely used for breeding without their consent, FORCED to father children, FORCED to be non custodial non parents, FORCED to work to pay support or go to jail-Why not treat women equally to how they treat men? Don't women want equality?
Insane men telling women what to do with their bodies
Texas and USA as a whole boast of being the greatest country in the world. But you are backward and reactionary in many areas. Many other countries have also overtaken the USA in science. Faith or religion is still far too important. USA is by no means progressive. Abortion
Liberal meltdown time
Also Nazi's used the same logic to justify killing jews that yall use to justify killing the unborn. Genocide is genocide not matter how you paint it or justify it.
Wahhhh we can't kill our kids anymore! What will we ever do?!? Oh let's blame pro life people then say they aren't actually pro life since they don't adopt! Newsflash, adoption is so expensive it's almost impossible to do. (Continued)
“Hi, mommy. Guess what, mommy? I have a heart beat too, mommy.” “Thank you, President Trump for helping to save my life with all of your Supreme Court Judges you sat on the bench…I wish you were my dad. You never would have allowed my mommy to visit the abortion clinic that day”
Five Supreme Court judges can’t get past their Catholic religion. They should not be allowed to vote on religious questions if they can’t abide by our democracy’s division between church and state.
This is Trump's doing
I gues Texas doesn’t know when to pull out !
Abortion should be decided by the pregnant women, no one else and should have any say in this. Abortion should be freely available for all women if they so wish JoeBiden VP
I'm angry...all this because trumpet appointed three mistakes (1 unqualified and 2 that shouldn't have been appointed at the time)...and trumpet was elected because a few people in a few states stayed away from the polls in 2016...no one is perfect...but Hillary was better.
Someone had dirt is Robert’s and is holding over his head.
Let's just call it what it is folks. White Nationalist Fascism.
OMG has the Taliban taken over Texas as well. Might as well take their right to vote away and chain them to the kitchen
...the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people...
CNN needs to do a CNN Town Hall on the Texas abortion laws. DanaBashCNN OutFrontCNN brikeilarcnn AnaCabrera abbydphillip I’d like to see TX women stand up to defend forcing women to carry pregnancies to term even in cases of rape and incest because abortion is traumatic
Good step
TexasAbortionLaw Texas butchery of women rights is terrifying reminder that GOPQ are as brutal as Taliban when it comes to defying women rights & human rights, gloating in their power to win no matter how evil, unjust or corrupt
Disgraceful SCOTUS! They should resign...
I hope Texas voters kick their legislature out, along with the Governor and every Republican seat there. Women must fight this with everything they have, just as with voting rights in that State.
Men should have no say in what a woman does with her own body, men would not like it if women told them what to do with theirs
Once McConnell ended the filibuster in the senate for Supreme Justice appointment, the Supreme Court stopped representing America. California has the same population as 22 other states, yet it has 2 senators versus 44. It's rural minority rule.
Who made Texas Republicans God's. They have no right to control the lives of no woman and no one. Their Actions are hypocritical
You can be sued helping someone get an abortion IN TEXAS!! If they go to another state, and return no one can be sued. Plus, HIPPAA still applies. This bounty isn't for strangers, it's for close friends/family. Those are the only people women are going to talk to about this.
'The Land of the Free'?
What I wonder is how Barrett explains blatantly supporting an unconstitutional state law that, had it been enacted a few decades ago, would have prevented HER from her choice. She had an abortion. Under SB8, her reasons wouldn't matter. She'd be a criminal. Oh wait, she is!
sorry court . worst in history. john roberts dose not deserve the leadership roll .
Outrageous. Do the justices supporting this honestly think reversing Roe will go well? Reversing 50 years of laws predicated upon Roe….this has all the earmarks of another Republican disaster.
Texas is soon to be rape capital of the United States...
I’m thinking erectile dysfunction is God’s will. Ban Viagara .
Want to legalize abortion? So you people can have sex every time you want, nice very nice
Yes, because after 6 weeks the In fetus getting formed, then abortive procedures means killing a human.
The STATES can choose to do what they like. You've almost certainly heard the term 'states rights' bandied about in the past 100 years or so......
Excellent!!!
The Supreme Court is issuing women a death sentence if, Roe is overturned. Does the Court think for even a moment, a woman who is desperate to end a pregnancy, wouldn't go to any length to obtain an abortion
Redneck law in a redneck state.
Horrible
Hopefully there will be a massive exodus of women from Texas or a mass voting all over the country of women to vote for Democrats to keep the house and senate. The young voters will vote blue for sure.
But...But...Her emails! Elections have consequences. Deal with it.
Thank you judges for saving lives
If Biden gets majority in the Senate at the next cycle, he should stack the courts, just like MITCH did for years.
RIP RBG
So Neil Gorsuch, like Brett Kavanaugh, committed perjury. Get them off the court. They didn’t even legally join anyway.
Right wing kangaroo court.
What happens to Roe vs Wade?
Time for President Biden to increase the Supreme Court Size. Plus remove one of Trumps appointees since he's not even qualified. Time for immediate action.
I guess buying Supreme Court justices (Kavanaugh) pays off
ohhhh
We should just start burning down law makers homes I'm so over this debate STAY OUT MY PUSSY
I'll bet if looked into... this has been planned all along... there is guaranteed communication between conservative judges of them skirting roe v wade decisions
“The land of the free”? Or the Caliphate of Texas?
If woman kept their legs shut and guys kept their dicks in there pants. Wouldn't have to worry about a abortions
And we can thank RBG for that.
This is a gift to these far right radicals led by McConnell who placed these radical judges and stacked the SC. This is McConnell legacy!
This gives the other numerous states that have tried to pass heartbeat bills the last few years the go ahead to do it again, successfully this time. Useless country with useless systems.
They might as well invoked Sharia Law on American women.
This has Amy Coney Barrett and her repressive views on women's rights written all over it.
Roberts behaves like robots always
The republican Taliban has increased it's stranglehold -and it's spreading to other states as well. The Texas Caliphate will require burkas for women next . . .
Nice.
🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏
I guess it's finally time for me to actually pursue sterilization 😭 I'm scared tho
I mean *now* can we call America a sh*thole country?
FUSCOTUS
I'm on the 'fence' concerning TX abortion; because, a white Catholic woman was raped by a black man years ago and put the baby up for adoption after birth. The baby grew up to be a doctor and also teaching at a college. Later in years, her white birth-mom regretted giving her up.
Welcome to the US, as envisioned by the GOP. Hypocrisy is both the name of the game and the primary language.
This is what happens when you don't break the filibuster and you let Republicans appoint 7 justices
Taliban takes over Afghanistan, Texas and SCOTUS in less than a month.
There is so much anger 😡setting women’s right back once again. TexasTaliban
MAGATS: You can’t make me get ONE SHOT to save MILLIONS. Also MAGATS: I’m gonna make you FORCE BIRTH to save ONE FETUS.
