It pushes the Texas law closer to returning to the U.S. Supreme Court, which in September allowed the state to move ahead with banning abortions once cardiac activity is detected, usually around six weeks. No exceptions are made in cases of rape or incest.
It leaves the Justice Department and Texas abortion providers with a narrowing path to try stopping the law, which has thus far prevailed because of a unique structure that leaves enforcement up to private citizens. Anyone who brings a successful lawsuit against an abortion provider for violating the law is entitled to claim at least $10,000 in damages, which the Biden administration says amounts to a bounty.
During that brief window, some Texas clinics rushed to perform abortions on patients past six weeks, but many more appointments were canceled after the 5th circuit moved to swiftly reinstate the law. The Biden administration could now seek a rehearing or go straight to the Supreme Court, just as abortion providers unsuccessfully tried in August.
Already the stakes are high in the coming months over the future of abortion rights in the U.S. In December, the new conservative majority on the Supreme Court will hear Mississippi’s bid to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that guarantee’s a woman’s right to an abortion.
We need a GrandBargain in Washington - a constitutional amendment affirming both abortion and gun rights.
_Politics Unfathomable that government should think any person has the right to intimidate and threaten a woman in the course of exercising free will over her private medical decisions. HIPAA anyone?
Democrats have a false sense of what equality and rights mean. In the most extreme case, they also support dictatorial regimes like Venezuela and some islamic (and typically anti-women) regimes as well. Aside from the fact that, indeed, Roe vs. Wade was approved by white men.
The more babies are born out of wedlock, the more the number of the ignorant masses increase. In this way, the rich can increase their power. They can get abortions anyway anytime their kids have an unplanned pregnancy.

texas the state that loves a foetus, right up to the moment it's born gay. embarrassment texastaliban
Sifill_LDF 🤬😡😠😤
MY RESEARCH
Love it
Just have to hope the SC comes through on this but the fact they let it go on like this has me thinking women in these red states are screwed. 🤞
Sifill_LDF In case anyone missed it, this is the kind of education Texas legislators want for the kids of Texas.
The god's are wise, you can't tell a judge to allow you to continue murdering innocent babies, the sin will go on the judge not those that asked for it, even Pontius Pilate washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person.
What do you have to report about the native and climate protesters Biden/Harris had police brutalize not one full week ago? Or abt the ongoing, illegal oil projects on Native land? HonorTheTreaties StopLine3
I don't agree with people ratting on their neighbors, especially over a personal medical choice. Why can't both sides find common ground? Why is it so hard to come up with a sensible timeline for abortion to be acceptable? 9 months is evil, and cum hitting the egg is as stupid
Wrong....
What the fuck
“My body my choice “ only applies to infanticide
Bravo Texas!

How... Just how
This nation is screwed. I don’t see a path forward.
Bindlestaff Texas is also allowing school curriculum that denies the Holocaust happened. Doesn't that mean Texas should allow Jewish women to have abortions?
If it were Men, in a similar situation, they'd be ready to Die and go to Hell, First!
Women should say and do what is good for them, they want Women, poor, barefoot and PREGNANT! If they allow this Treatment of themselves, They're just as Crazy as the Losers, putting forward these Backward Laws!
LOL at the 'I can't believe I'm still protesting' sign. If I'm going to protest something, I'm going to make a similar protest sign.
WRONG!; Abortion Providers free to continue without fear of arrest or censure. Possible Civil Judgements in the future and they are petrified. Sad to see.
Would that mean, that 18 years from 2day and every year after the democratic party will increase its membership at a rapid pace?
Once again Texas fuuucking sucks
Can someone explain how “a unique structure that leaves enforcement up to private citizens …who brings a successful lawsuit against an abortion provider for violating the law is entitled to claim at least $10,000 in damages” somehow hobbles the court from striking down this law?
Please provide scientific proof that a 6 wk embryo has a heartbeat. Stop repeating that nonsense.

I’d just like a little consistency. If women have to be hosts then men should be required to donate blood, bone marrow, liver, etc. for the sanctity of life. But mostly I wish people would stop pushing their religion on me. I don’t think fetus is a person.
This country is so fucked up
The two judges who let this affront to humanity stand were put in place by presidents who lost the popular election by millions of votes. Elections matter.
dddfaber Shame on the appeals court and shame on America!!
so backwards...texass
Sifill_LDF Would an En Banc decision come out any differently?
