In a 5-4 decision late Wednesday night, The U.S. Supreme Court formally rejected a request by Texas abortion providers to block the state's severe new law restricting the procedure while legal challenges continue.

The law will make most abortions illegal after six weeks of pregnancy and encourage anyone to sue a person they believe is providing an abortion or assisting someone in getting an abortion after six weeks.

Chief Justice John Roberts joined Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan in dissenting from the move. Kagan passionately called out her colleagues for allowing a sweeping ban on abortion"in clear and indeed undisputed conflict with Roe and Casey" without a more fulsome legal process.

"Last night, the Court silently acquiesced in a State's enactment of a law that flouts nearly 50 years of federal precedents," she wrote."Because the Court's failure to act rewards tactics designed to avoid judicial review and inflicts significant harm on the applicants and on women seeking abortions in Texas, I dissent."

Starting to see the Trump appointments change Roe v Wade.

How do they sanction vigilante justice for the women of Texas? How far are those far right 'pro birth' crazies going to take this? Stalking, harassing menacing women for money?

Every last person who said “how bad could it be” and voted for Trump is responsible for this.

Texas = Taliban under GregAbbott_TX Do your dam job Scotus This is an attack on the rights of women!

We are not a free nation. We are a nation the suppresses women and minorities. We are turning into what the world thought South Africa was. All of our military might can not change what other nations think.

Who didn't see this coming? Time for POTUS to undo the Republican packing of the SCOTUS by any means necessary as its right wing majority has become an existential threat to our democracy from voting rights to women's rights.

When you have Supreme Court Judges or any Court Judges involved in politics and rewriting laws that make outrageous rulings solely for the purpose of scoring points from state officials is a crime within itself!

2016 will haunt us in so many ways for a long, long time.

Under His Eye!
