The decision confirmed the worst fears of reproductive rights activists, who had long warned that conservatives were moving aggressively to put in place a court majority that would upend abortion rights.

The Supreme Court in Washington on Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2021.

Those same justices all declared Roe v. Wade well-established precedent and the law of the land during their hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, in a time-honored tradition of offering vague euphemisms meant to convey judicial neutrality during their confirmation periods. They promised to keep open minds, testifying that no one involved in their nomination had even asked for their view of the case.

Those three — Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — joined with Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito in declining to block the Texas law widely denounced as violating Supreme Court precedent, putting the court on the precipice of overriding Roe v. Wade. The decision led to renewed calls to expand the Supreme Court to offset the conservative majority that Democrats and progressives say was wrongly installed when McConnell refused to allow President Barack Obama to fill the seat of Antonin Scalia after he died in 2016. The Republican leader then raced to seat Barrett just days before Biden was elected last year. Biden has created a commission to study ways to overhaul the court but has not endorsed a change.

McConnell, recognizing the complex politics surrounding abortion, was reserved in his reaction to the decision despite his hand in reshaping the court.

Divided Supreme Court leaves Texas abortion law in placeWASHINGTON (AP) — A deeply divided Supreme Court is allowing a Texas law that bans most abortions to remain in force, stripping most women of the right to an abortion in the nation’s second-largest state. Texas needs to change its slogan from thr “friendly state” to thr “republic of Gilead” Is anyone surprised. Republicans took away voting rights for minorities now women's rights. Did they sign a deal with Taliban to. Maybe they want to follow the Taliban rules. Even a Republican congress man wants to start a civil war.Seen all the same to me.Taliban are Republican 🙏

Choosing life . Awesome. With a hard right-leaning Supreme Court that is further detached from most Americans’ sensibilities, it’s time for Congress to act and pass legislation that protects women’s reproductive rights and undoes Texas’ Draconian measures. Our democracy is so fragile.
