    Default Supreme Court lets Texas 6-week abortion ban stay in place

    Supreme Court lets Texas 6-week abortion ban stay in place and will hear oral arguments November 1

    The Supreme Court allowed a Texas law that bars most abortions after six weeks to remain in place for now, but it agreed to hear oral arguments on the law next month.

    The law, banning abortions often before a woman knows she is pregnant is in stark contrast to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision legalizing abortion nationwide prior to viability, which can occur at around 24 weeks of pregnancy.
    In agreeing to hear the case under such an expedited time frame, the court said Friday that it would focus specifically on the unusual way in which the Texas legislature crafted the law. It also said it will review whether the US Justice Department can challenge the law in court.
    Texas officials are barred from enforcing it. Instead, private citizens -- from anywhere in the country -- can bring a civil suit against anyone who assists a pregnant person seeking an abortion in violation of the law.

    Question: Why call it abortion ban when abortion is allowed?

    And it will create a backlog of suits.

    But no worries since most abortions are done within 6-8 weeks anyway.

    It is not 6 weeks since very few know they are pregnant before 6 . I read that last month 7, 12 year old girls were pregnant and one 9 year old, in just Dallas. They are ready to have kids, I guess.

    Most INDUCED abortion take place AFTER 8 weeks. Most spontaneous [natural miscarriages] occur in the 1st 12 weeks.

    Many Texans are getting abortions in other states.

    Still don't understand your point. Perhaps use your own words? BTW, you are wrong.

    Most induced abortions are done in the first 12 weeks.

    Republican Women voters in Texas is huge! Not the women- Their votes!

    Greg Abbott is losing their support and the Democrats are recruiting them to vote him out of office!

    Brilliant Greg! Just Brilliant.

    I understand my words exactly. You are the one that is confused. Which is lesser 8 weeks or 12 weeks?

    Sighs. I can read. What you are not being clear is your point. I am just not seeing your point.

    BTW, 65% is most abortions compared to the rest of weeks.

    10-15% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage most of which happen in the 1st 8 weeks.
