Biden administration is planning to SUE Texas over new law banning abortions after six weeks

Daily Mail  

The Biden administration is reportedly planning to sue the state of Texas over a new law that bans most abortions. Courts have blocked other states from imposing similar restrictions, but Texas' law could be harder to challenge because it leaves enforcement to private citizens through civil lawsuits instead of criminal prosecutors. Jonathan Turley, a constitutional law professor at George Washington University Law School, sees the Texas law as likely to be eventually struck down in court, since it prohibits abortion long before the fetus is viable outside the womb. However, if Democrats take action in Congress aimed at preserving access to abortion on the federal level, as some are calling for, he warned it could end up backfiring since there´s existing case law establishing that states can make laws related to the procedure. Meanwhile, the Texas law's citizen-enforcement mechanism is something Democrats may not want to see limited widely either, since the concept is also a key piece of enforcing many environmental laws.
