The Supreme Court issuing an unsigned order refusing to block a Texas abortion ban while it faces a legal challenge stunned many and marked a significant moment in the United States' history of reproductive rights.

"A 'heartbeat' ban isn't even close to viability. So there's nothing about that that was even an attempt to be within the confines of the Constitution. That standing alone would make it unconstitutional," Kimberly Mutcherson, co-dean and law professor at Rutgers Law School, told ABC News about the Texas law.People gather for a reproductive rights rally at Brooklyn Borough Hall on Sept. 1, 2021, in downtown Brooklyn, New York.

"The thing that the federal court should do when a law is going to pose grave harm is preserve the status quo while if there are difficult issues, you can litigate those difficult issues," Hearron said. With that, Mutcherson said,"they created this sort of confusion and this hook that the Supreme Court was able to use in order to say, 'We're not going to stay the law, we're going to allow it to go into effect, and then we'll see what happens.'"

Validation of ERA would better protect abortion rights but JoeBiden is blocking it & fighting against Women’s equality in 2 lawsuits. What happened in Texas is Biden’s fault. Democrats are refusing to validate Women’s equality & establish their FULL Equal Protection rights.

All mothers in Texas who have suffered a spontaneous miscarriage are now under suspicion. To the heartache of losing a child you and your family may have to face an expensive and complicated legal battle that anyone off the street can unleash on you.

If you are so concerned about human life, why don’t you make sure that REAL people get vaccinated. That would make a LOT more sense.

Republicans want a vigilante society

Huge HIPAA violation possibilities with this law.

BuffyLWillow You make it sound like a buffet choice. Do better.

Does this mean if a woman driving out of state to get an abortion stops at my station and I sell her gas I can be sued for helping her

It is an egregious law.

Isn't 'fetal heartbeat' a lie?

Maybe the doc should just not listen for a heartbeat and then he is in the clear.

God bless texas.

This is not law, it’s invasion of privacy. How can anyone tell someone how to conduct their body. What is the end game? Why do you presume to lord over women? Do you have Iranian beliefs? Is your next step to reverse women’s rights? SMH

Abbott is a total fool. No masks in schools, anti Abortion,any one getting rewarded for reporting anyone even Uber Drivers for his Anti Abortion Law, laws, for open carry for anyone. This is insanity legalized. Women’s medical issues are none of Abbott or any other mans business

Thats bad grammar

Dear my friend! From my personal point of view. Humanity and the existence of a living being are very important.

Because many abortionists are victims of rape and incest. The state government should explain this issue. Amen

If dems knew how to fight, theyd be the ones challenging Roe v. Wade in the SCOTUS...think about it.

The Texas government should provide all premenopausal women with pregnancy tests and abortion costs. Amen

Let's get it straight out here

This problem is all a result of the breakdown of the family

Hateful religious zealots who want to bring women back beyond 1973 thinking that women, couples don't have the right to plan their families and realize that contraception and the like are not full proof. Violence against women is horrific enough without bearing a child

‼️PASS THIS LEGISLATION ‼️

So if you perform, aid or pay for the abortion you are at risk. The story is a stretch for a bounty situation. Your odds of winning a case that you have no claim to is doubtful. Now if you were the father, family you may be able to win.

We women have to stand up for our rights! No one has ever tried to govern over any part of a man’s body! So I will be damned if I let anyone govern over mine or any other woman’s body! Our uterus is off limits! BansOffOurBodies WomensRights

Every nation that has banned or severely restricted abortion access has a higher abortion rate on average than nations that don't. Banning abortion is about control, not reducing abortions.

Imagine people angry because they can't murder at will !!!

Teach children to use their voices for good....... The power of children and teens.

We must follow the example of Texas

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.
