The Supreme Court has now issued a new ruling allowing a lawsuit challenging the legality of Texas’s pro-life ‘heartbeat’ law to proceed.

As The New York Times reports:

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday allowed a challenge to a Texas abortion law that banned most abortions in the state after about six weeks to proceed, ruling that abortion providers in the state may sue some state officials in federal court despite the procedural hurdles imposed by the unusual structure of the law.

But the Supreme Court refused to block the law in the meantime, saying that lower courts should consider the matter.

The development was both a victory for and a disappointment to supporters of abortion rights, who had hoped that the justices would reverse course from a Sept. 1 ruling that had allowed the law to go into effect, causing clinics in the state to curtail performing the procedure and forcing many women seeking abortions to travel out of state.

The challenges to the Texas law focused not on the law’s constitutionality but on whether the law could be challenged in court by either abortion providers in the state or the federal government. The cases provided the court with an opportunity to revisit its earlier decision allowing the law to go into effect before the justices had grappled with its constitutionality or settled the question of how it could be challenged.

The decision comes a week after the court heard arguments in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health, a case many believe may end up with the court potentially striking down or significantly restricting the landmark ruling in  Roe vs. Wade.

  1. What a group of chickens in SCOTUS! Have some cajones and make a decision for goodness sake! Even with the conservative judges they don’t want to make a decision that is so fraught with political and social fallout. What a bunch of woosies!

  2. LISTEN UP….GOD Says…..LET There Be ADOPTIONS instead of ABORTIONS. A WOMAN’S BODY is NOT Her Own…it BELONGS to GOD. EVERYTHING on GOD’S Planet EARTH Belongs to HIM. TODAY….TOM!ORROW and FOREVER. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄

  3. The largest case of mass murder and you have questions? Be advised to wit that just maybe if you humble yourselves and pray as you know in your heart thow shall not kill or murder for convenience !! I wouldn’t want to face him, especially being a judge and have to answer the only true and worthy judge. You will be judged as your oath you said and I quote “so help me God”. He stands at the door. CHOOSE who you will serve!

  4. No where in the Constitution does it give the right of one person to murder another person. An unborn baby is a person. The mother is one person, her baby is another person.

  5. Pro Choice gives the baby no choice. It is murder. Let your conscientious be your guide. A child is designed in God’s image. Let that sink in.
