The Supreme Court has now allowed Texas’s so-called ‘Heartbeat bill’ to take effect, which effectively bans abortion in that state after about six weeks (as soon as a heartbeat can be detected).

As Bloomberg Law reports:

A Texas law barring abortion after the sixth week of pregnancy took effect at least temporarily on Wednesday as the U.S. Supreme Court kept silent on a bid by clinics and doctors to block the measure while a legal challenge goes forward.

With the high court taking no action Tuesday night, the Texas law kicked in and instantly became the country’s strictest abortion restriction, prohibiting the procedure before many women even know they are pregnant. Challengers say the measure would ban abortions for at least 85% of the women seeking one in the second-most populous state.

The Supreme Court could act on Wednesday on the Texas law, though the justices don’t have any firm deadline.

A Supreme Court decision to allow the ban could indicate a readiness to fulfill a decades-old conservative dream and overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which legalized abortion nationwide. Abortion opponents came close to that goal in 1992, only to see the court instead reaffirm Roe and say a woman’s constitutional right is protected until the fetus becomes viable, sometime after the 20th week of pregnancy.

Will the Supreme Court follow through on the long-held conservative dream of the dismantling Roe vs Wade, or will conservatives once more find themselves disappointed?

  1. This is great news. A woman usually knows she is pregnant within 4-5 weeks after a missed period. If she is that desperate to not have the baby, do it then. THose who wait till they are 5, 6, 7, 8 months pregnant to have an abortion are causing the baby to suffer which is unforgivable when it could be avoided. I don’t know how they live with themselves. It is very very selfish. More women should consider having the baby and giving it up for adoption. Babies for adoption nowadays are very hard to come by because of all the abortions. The baby will have a family who loves them and a couple will be blessed. And the mother can go on with her life. Happy ending for all.

        1. so because someone becomes pregnant and then decides 6 months later, naw I don’t want it? That is ok? Because people will not do this then it is ok? Am I missing something here. Because someone could shot you then say, naw I changed my mind so I should not be punished? Is this what you’re saying?

          1. OF COURSE NOT! WHAT I’m saying is, “the people” are NOT going to CHANGE and all of a sudden at This time in history become RESPONSIBLE and MORAL and STOP with the illicit sex!!! “The people” are FAR more Immoral NOW than at ANY time in history!
            WHY do you think we HAVE all o’ these Problems?! The World is in Major Decay!
            RAMPANT IMMORALITY, THAT’S WHY!!!!!!!!

    1. God said do not tough my children! Conception is when life beings. Plans Parent clinics will be destroyed by God our creator!

    2. I agree with the person who said that if a woman doesn’t intend to be responsible for it, she shouldn’t have gotten pregnant to start with! What happened to saying “No!?”

  2. Finally! We just need more states to pass this. I personally don’t believe in abortion at all. No matter how they want to justify it, its still murder.

  3. How about just keep your legs closed and not get pregnant in the first place, why should a child suffer for your lack of responsibility. And if you have to be a ho try a condom or birth control.
    Thats being responsible!

      1. Every single demonrat in office has no consideration or empathy for human life. They all and I mean ALL vote on the side of murdering and actually slaughtering the innocent babies of America to the tune of over one million per year. And I say to everyone of you bastard politicians and lawyers and judges and citizens YOU WILL REAP THE WORLD WIND THATS COMING DOWN ON YOU WITH ANGER AND VENGEANCE FROM GOD ALMIGHTY. THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS . Youdegenerate

  4. Accidents happen to the best of people. Women should have the right to terminate their
    unwanted pregnancy. They should do it as soon as they know they are pregnant I agree
    but it should still be their right should extenuating circumstances prevent them from
    doing it earlier. A woman’s body is hers to do with as she wishes.

    1. To hear you say that then makes it alright for someone to eliminate your life in other words Murder YOU JUST AS A PREGNANT WOMAN MURDERS AN INNOCENT BABY THAT CAN’T DEFEND THEMSELVES. YOU CANTRY AND RATIONALIZE IT ALL DAY LONG BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY IT IS STILL MURDER PLAIN AND SIMPLE. GOD WILL NOT BE MOCKED. IF YOU DESTROY WHAT GOD CREATES THEN YOU WILL BE DESTROYED. I PRAY FOR ALL OF THOSE WOMEN TO REPENT IF THEY HAD THEIR BABIES MURDERED. AND TO ALL OF YOU DOCTORS OF DEATH MAY YOU BURN IN HELL 🔥🔥🔥

        1. It’s EVIL SCUM LIKE YOU that Trashes the world and makes it a perverse Shithole for ALL of us that makes GOOD people hate YOU.

  5. Abortion is murder. If people would all the sexual immorality there would be no need for Abortion. Sex is meant for reproduction, and you’re not suppose to have premarital sex.

    1. CORRECT X 4, Allen.
      Unfortunately, ‘tis a Very sick world.
      THIS SHOULD Help some, and set a precedent for All of the other states to follow suit.

  6. Heart beat is proof of life. Causing life to stop is murder. We have been condoning state approved murder. Seems logical .

  7. It is pathetic that the constitutional solution is not made. BOTH sides to the abortion debate have their points, but yet NEITHER will give in to the constitutional solution. An injection of prostaglandin will not kill the fetus, but it will dissolve the corpus luteum, thus the pregnancy will be terminated without outright killing the fetus. Pro-abortion people want to be able to kill the fetus any way possible, and anti-abortion people want to force the unwanted pregnancy on women. BOTH sides viciously push their opinions onto others by attacking the opposite side and try to pass legislation forcing their opinions on others….sadly many people that claim to be pro-constitution are among the Anti-American people who think they have the only opinion, and completely disregard others constitutional rights…

  8. Roe v. Wade and Dred Scott v. Sanford were cut from the same cloth: It is legal and moral for one person to be the property of another.

    The question for the abortion debate to answer is “when does an unborn child become a person entitled to the protections of the Constitution?”

    When does abortion become infanticide?

  9. Democrats must be running scared to death right now…American taxpayers should not fit the bill for abortions..I know some women who have had 7

  10. This is the plan that Catholics have used for a thousand years.
    1. Destroy the nation. (invade, dominate, conquer, eliminate the non-believers)
    2. Destroy the mind of the people with ‘religion’.
    4 There is no hope, so the people go to drugs to get ‘out of there’ for a while.
    3. Call on ‘god’. Hey ‘god’ does not want folks to use drugs!
    5. murder the people because they do not like the existence with the failed ‘god’.
    6. Move to a new nation and repeat the failed process of a thousand years.
    Look south of the USA to see the proof! Vote for ANY CATHOLIC and you vote for a traitor.

  11. Catholics do not care about any stinking Constitution. They have already made the bi-babble supreme to the Constitution. They have instituted the taking of the oath of office on the bi-babble. This makes the bi-babble supreme to the Constitution so they can ignore it.
    The bi-babble is just that. A bunch of fairy tales mingled together in a giant heap. Voe for ANY CATHOLIC and you vote for a traitor that does not like the Constitution of the USA.

  12. LISTEN UP….GOD Says ….LET There Be ADOPTIONS instead of ABORTIONS. ..Just as I ADOPTED MY DAUGHTER Who is AM ONG YOU. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄

  13. Awesome. Now the other states need to do the same. STOP KILLING INNOCENT BABIES. BE RESPONSIBLE. IF YOU DON’T WANT A BABY DON’T HAVE SEX OR USE PROTECTION. DON’T USE RAPE AS AN EXCUSE TO KILL A BABY. YOU CAN ADOPT THAT LITTLE ONE OUT.

  14. Thank God. Its not just abortion that is evil, promiscu9ity is against Gods Commandments College students are the abortionists main targets

  15. If you want to shut everyone up about abortion, just let people have the right to put the fetus on their taxes as a dependent from the moment of inception! Then if the child fails to survive and they can’t account for the child charge them for the money they filed for on their taxes when they called it their dependent! Make people accountable for their decisions!

  16. My wife wants to know who voted against the Heart Beat bill in the Supreme Court. We know Sotomayor and Roberts but who were the other 2. Eventually if the Republicans take both houses we may be able to remove those justices that we consider behaving improperly according to the Constitution since the democrat seem to think they can pass legislation without following the Constitution (federalizing voting, making DC a state) without the states required to amend the constitution to do it.

  17. Courts in each state where blatant fraud was there, out in the open, had the chance to let the Trump team show and air their evidence in court, but chose instead to stonewall it all, giving the hard-left Dems. the upper hand every chance they got; they could have affirmed Trump’s, win each time, but chose to abdicate, and do the ostrich act instead. Way to go, judges!
