It is sad that the activist judges do not respect the precedents. We need a new balance of SCOTUS.

Listen to the insanity of that, tho. What private citzen will be able to determine a fetal ❤ or the week of a pregnancy in a complete stranger, w/o stalking them? Stalking is a crime w/penalties incl prison time. It legalizes stalking or it punishes stalking.Can't be both.

This is exactly how McConnell and Graham wanted it to be. Conservative part of SC delivered for them.

Sucks.

Women, all your bodies are now the property of the state. And it won’t stop with Texas.

5 justices do not think women MATTER. Time for Democrats to side with 70% of Americans who support a women’s right to choose; EXPAND the SUPREME COURT!!! WOMENMATTER

It is now obvious that SCOTUS is on the take and can be bought for the right price. Get inline and have cash ready.

While the court says the case 'raises serious questions regarding the constitutionality of the Texas law' and doesn't block future challenges, the ruling allows one of the most restrictive abortion prohibitions in the nation to remain in effect.

Divided Supreme Court leaves Texas abortion law in placeA deeply divided Supreme Court is allowing a Texas law that bans most abortions to remain in force, stripping most women of the right to an abortion in the nation’s second-largest state Fantastic. Choosing life . Awesome. With a hard right-leaning Supreme Court that is further detached from most Americans’ sensibilities, it’s time for Congress to act and pass legislation that protects women’s reproductive rights and undoes Texas’ Draconian measures. Our democracy is so fragile.
