SCOTUS and the New Texas Abortion Law

Warner Todd Huston

By the way, just so you are aware, the US Supreme Court did not rule on whether the Texas abortion law is constitutional. It only ruled that the liberals who wanted it stopped immediately did not prove that the law actually harmed any of them or put them in immediate danger. There are still lawsuits ongoing to determine if the law itself is constitutional. The SCOTUS just didn't see any reason to immediately halt the law because the applicants didn't show they were actually in danger from it.

So, the lying liberals that are saying that the SCOTUS just overturned Roe v. Wade are lying. Their ruling did no such thing.

Tim adds:

The law was written in a way that prevented lawsuits so the Left couldn't get it before one of their pet judges easily. It allows lawsuits by any party against providers of abortion or anyone having to do with an abortion rather than having a criminal statute. The end result is there can be no lawsuit against the law until someone actually files a civil suit against an abortion provider/enabler. There is no standing. So SCOTUS cannot rule on the law itself, only on proceedural matters. This thing will still wind up before SCOTUS, make no mistake.

BTW, this shows Texas is NOT turning Blue; this law would never have passed if Texas was a purple state.

1 Good news! But we should keep our eyes on this situation. Never underestimate the ability of SCOTUS to mess things up.
