BREAKING: ABORTIONS EFFECTIVELY BANNED IN TEXAS AFTER SUPREME COURT REFUSES TO ACT
Last night, the Supreme Court took no emergency action to stop SB 8, the most extreme abortion ban in the country, from taking effect. In Texas, abortions are now banned after six weeks, before many people even know they are pregnant.
And that’s not all. The law allows Texans to sue anyone who provides abortions or helps someone access abortions—from doctors to ride-share drivers. The effects of this bill are devastating and will have an immediate impact.
Last night’s decision is a stark reminder that elections have consequences. After winning in 2016, Donald Trump and Republicans built the 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court for exactly this reason. Democrats may have narrow majorities in Congress and a Democrat in the White House, but right now it’s not enough to stop the extreme Supreme Court majority.
