National Republicans Strangely Quiet About Texas Abortion Law Ruling
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING The Supreme Court handed social conservatives a huge victory on Wednesday by letting stand a Texas law that effectively bans all abortions in the state. Although the law could still be blocked at some other stage, Wednesday’s emergency ruling could serve as an indication of where the justices stand on protecting abortion rights more broadly. She railed against the Supreme Court decision, saying its “cowardly, dark-of-night” move to let the Texas law take effect “delivers catastrophe to the women in Texas, particularly women of color and women from low-income communities.” The bill, titled the Women’s Health Protection Act, would federalize Roe v. Wade and invalidate inconsistent state provisions such as the Texas law. President Joe Biden also blasted the Supreme Court’s refusal to block Texas’ abortion law, warning it will unleash “unconstitutional chaos.”
