The Supreme Court struck down Texas abortion restrictions that had caused more than half of the state’s abortion clinics to close.

5-3
Yup.
Hitlery wins and my retirement is gonna be spent not fishing.
Cuz it’ll be over: I will NEVER acknowledge anything they say as law anymore.
It won’t be pretty but freedom is worth it.
Idiot.
Maybe some state should pass a law saying any women who has been convicted of a crime involving reckless conduct is bared from having an abortion.... The court kind of painted themselves into a box saying an individual can lose one constitutional right (gun ownership) just for a conviction on a minor offense but can't lose another (abortion - even though that isn't really a constitutional right, but that's another argument).
Just another one in a long, long stream of them.
No surprise in it at all though.
Thumbs up to your comment...I feel the same way.
Maybe this will fire up the call's for "Texit" that started after the UK was successful with "Brexit"....
Oh, yes: emanating from a penumbra. That's where the most secure constitutional rights come from. Things that are clearly stated are just so much hot air.
Yep. They ignore amendments like the 2nd and then invent new ones.
If Scalia had been there, it would have been 5-4. One vote deciding the death of all those babies.
Five to three decision. Clear desire to ignore the 10th amendment, as well as ignoring women’s health. A grand desire to chop up more unborn children.
Liberalism is a death cult, and abortion is a sacrament.
Isaiah 5:20 applies.
Kennedy was the deciding vote, as expected.
One good thing is now the legislature has a guide on how to rewrite the laws so they pass muster with the snivling death merchants of the SCOTUS.
The states need to refuse to take fedgov $$ and this will free them from having to follow unconstitutional laws and decisions from SCOTUS. On order to do that, they should keep back a % of tax money. The entire system is rotten to the core, the 10th Amendment needs to be resuscitated.
Pretty much. We’re done if she wins. This isn’t hyperbole, either. Dems could lose 2020, 2024.. if she gets in and replaces Scalia, Ginsburg, and Breyer, the liberal majority would be really young. Hell, Kennedy isn’t a spring chicken either..
They were very crafty in inventing the penumbra in the decision on birth control for married couples. Nose of the camel.
Only if one expects the court to be consistent.
After reviewing a substantial number of court cases (not just SCOTUS), it becomes abundantly clear that courts are outcome driven. If the logic falls in place, fine, but hand-waving will do.
And why not? Nobody is going to do anything about it.
That's what PO's me most about the court, they pull some non-existent right out of their arses (see abortion/gay marriage) and suddenly that right is absolutely sacrosanct and can not be limited under any circumstance. But then they will take a ACTUAL right like the 2nd Amendment and say any limitation short of a complete gun ban is just fine.
Trump, who thought his pro-abort sister would make a great justice.
His 79 year old sister. And unlike Papi Cruz she was not a campaign surrogate.
Not surprised but there is not one ounce of rational sense to this judgement other than blind, stupid kowtowing to political ideologies.
It’s ok for a government to regulate coal companies to the point of bankruptcy because the government has that right.
It’s perfectly ok for the government to force people to buy health insurance just because they’re alive because it’s like a tax and it’s not the role of the Supreme Court to correct bad legislation.
It’s perfectly fine for the government to restrict the 2nd amendment rights because it’s an outdated law.
But forcing abortion doctors and clinics to have admitting permissions at hospitals when performing abortion SURGERY (and that’s what it is) is a HORRIBLE injustice and taking of civil liberties.
Now IF the court was consistent with that rationale across all the other aforementioned attacks on civil liberties in this nation I could at least respect the decision.
But they don’t - it flies directly in the face of their rationales for their judgements in all other cases.
It’s a kangaroo court and I think Texas should ignore it because of faulty reasoning and pure bias on the part of the court.
