The Supreme Court was asked Monday to block parts of a Texas law that restricts access to abortion, an emergency request that could be just the first of several abortion-related cases to reach the court in the upcoming term.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit on Thursday allowed Texas to implement a law that restricts abortion providers and immediately shuttered all but seven of the state’s remaining clinics. On Monday, the women’s health facilities asked the high court to essentially undo that decision, allowing them to remain open as the legal fight proceeds.
“Women’s constitutional rights and access to safe, legal abortion care have been dealt a devastating blow,” said Nancy Northrup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which is leading the legal challenge. “We look now to the U.S. Supreme Court to immediately reinstate the injunction, allow the clinics to reopen and put an end to the irreparable and unjustifiable harm to Texas women that is happening right now.”

I don’t think I’ll be accepting any decisions by any ‘supreme court’ post-1900. All had a high presence of leftist traitors
If SCOTUS has no problem with queer marriage, why would they appose abortion?
note they always decline to specify exactly what constitutional rights grant abortion. they sure the hell say it, and plural, but hever explain what part of the document they come from.
because they can’t, when pressed.
If I read this article correctly it has to do with RU486. I believe they have had more trouble with that drug then they want to admit.
yep
