Supreme Court Protects Babies With Heartbeats By Allowing Texas’ Six-Week Abortion Ban

Tawdry.

But that is how this law works. It makes Texas a basket case in terms of the rule of law.

 

[GOD Shines Forth!]

It's is poorly designed by any metric. Since when was ends justify means Christian?

The topic is about a law, in Texas. Not the parameters of what can be considered "Christian". Thanks.

You don’t live in Texas. Wait, you don’t live in the USA. So you don’t have any skin in this game at all. We have States rights here.

"A Texas state law took effect early on Wednesday after the U.S. Supreme Court did not act on an emergency petition brought by abortion facilities and activists to block it, meaning private citizens can sue abortion providers who perform the deadly operation after six weeks of pregnancy."

I'm sure the lawsuits have been started already, if not ready to file. The Supreme Court merely declining to issue an emergency injunction is pretty meaningless. It can consider the case once it comes through the courts.

It seems this law is written in a way that makes it difficult for federal courts to strike it down. By allowing citizens to sue the abortion provider as well as anyone who helped the lady get the abortion, Texas avoided the precedent set in Roe vs Wade. Since state officials can't bring charges or sue, it seems to absolve Texas from any legal culpability or responsibility for litigation and legal fees. It is certainly a creative way to control women with imposed moral ethics of the religious mob. It's peculiar the juxtaposition of their hypocrisy on masking mandates in regards to their moral claims in the abortion argument. Man, I'm glad I'm a man, man!

The supreme court from what I can see are preparing to strike down roe vs Wade. Otherwise if they declared this law constitutional, it would render the supreme court and the constitution almost null and void. Want to ban free speech/religion/ guns etc just follow the Texas playbook.

Progressives do not need a playbook from Texas, they have several from Machiavelli, de Sade, Rousseau, Marx, Foucault, Alinsky, Crowley et. al.

Maybe so. It seems like a template to circumvent our Constitution whenever the grievance fits a political narrative.

Please Leave Sade out of the argument.
She's merely a Smooth Operator haha.
Is Draco acceptable then? Only in Texas so far I reckon.

Contort much?

Is what I stated not the underlying mentality of the most of the people in the camp that staunchly opposes abortion?

I can't say I've ever come across a person in the pro-life crowd that's advocated for things like expanding safety nets and contraception access...in fact, it's usually quite the opposite. There's typically a lot of "that's socialism" and "I shouldn't have to pay for that" talk.

With regards to how to prevent abortions, the staunch pro-life crowd usually offers little, as far as recommendations, outside of
- "Just tell everyone else to stop having sex under circumstances I don't approve of"
- "Let's just try to make abortions illegal"

Simple: They are trying to legislate puritan culture.

If the results turn from bad to worst then it is reasonable to expect the dem to hold the house upcoming 2022 elections.

I wouldn’t want to be a woman living in Texas after this.

They need to protest and vote in the local elections.

This post makes much more sense. Thank you.

This is one of "those" topics, very hard to stay out of the weeds when discussing.

I'm sure that can be gerrimandered away.

This move may just be what Texas Democrats need to mobilize voters to get to the polls and start to flip the state blue. Here’s hoping.

How can they do that if their votes are supposedly being suppressed?

It’s like a crooked referee in basketball. They’ll help a team that is close to another team but there comes a point where it doesn’t matter how crooked the referee is, they can’t help the team they are paid to help win, the difference is too great. The Democrats and Independents could swamp the Republicans even on a tilted field. The Republican Party could look back on this and celebrate or they may end up cursing these idiotic lawmakers by name for going to far and causing a severe backlash. Time will tell.

Only way around the attempts at voter suppression is to get out the vote in greater numbers. Complacency is no longer an option. I think this is something both sides have come to figure out these last few elections.
