But despite the scramble on multiple fronts, restoration of abortion rights in Texas is not expected to happen quickly, experts say.
"Federal courts enjoy the power to enjoin individuals tasked with enforcing laws, not the laws themselves," the court’s conservative majority explained in its order declining to intervene. That scenario -- an abortion provider getting sued, and likely winning on the merits -- presents its own complications, advocates said.
"The question is, what is lost in the meantime?" said Shaw."At the moment it seems as though access to the constitutionally protected right to an abortion is functionally unavailable in Texas, and even if that's only for a short time, until a judge actually has the opportunity to enjoin the law, the stakes are constitutionally extremely high.
For women across Texas, implementation of SB8 has functionally meant suspension of longstanding constitutionally-protected rights affirmed by Supreme Court precedent in the 1973 Roe v. Wade and 1992 Planned Parenthood v. Casey decision.
We should see this as war on women.
But what about Republican girls and women who have unwanted pregnancies. If the have money they can run to a blue state I guess. Bad luck for the poor MAGA women. Out of luck
Even though I don't personally agree w abortion I do agree that IT IS A WOMANS CHOICE TO DO W HER BODY. Because this topic is politicized = Its beyond ridiculous

Analysis: Texas abortion ban injects new urgency into U.S. election campaignsAfter the U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal to block a near-total ban on abortions by Texas, alarmed Democratic candidates and abortion rights advocates had a single, urgent message for voters on Thursday: Abortion rights are on the ballot. Reproductive Rights need to be written into the Constitution. If not, forget it. It will eventually be banned again. ...Can't win em all, logically. The politicians on the Women's Rights side aren't actually fighting for a REAL Right, just donor money and an election win. Well duh. The Republican and Conservatives are trying to create a National Populist Party that will resemble the 1930s Germany National Populist Party!
