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

Trump say anything yet?
I doubt Trump will do anything to stop or slow abortion. Has he said anything today yet on this ruling?
The Governor should have a referendum, win it then charge a Obamacare fee of 100 grand per abortion.
Could someone please find in writing or inference the right to an abortion in the Constitution?
In reality, there is a strong underlying thread woven throughout the Constitution for the protection of life!
Wow, those awful authors of the Constitution were so unconstitutional, as well as all of the congresses since, by not inserting the clause about a “woman’s right to choose.”
As I recall, part of the 60’s argument for abortion was rooted in a persons right to privacy. Well, today, it seems abortion is the only instance (”right to privacy”) important enough to continue fighting for by congress or the Supreme Court!!
All other “rights to privacy” are up for debate and are fair game!
This is much like the phrase “separation of church and state,” really is not written in the Constitution.
Of course the 1st Amendment of our Constitution succinctly communicates (paraphrased) that congress should not make any law favoring one religion over another, and goes on to strongly state “NOR PROHIBITING the free exercise thereof.”
The modern day doctrine of “Separation of Church and State” and the ensuing legal precedent, was a constitutional doctrine invented and employed for the first time in 1948, by members of the infamous secular left-wing “Warren Court.”
“The establishment clause” phraseology is misleading itself, but was truly to protect society from an official establishment of a specific religion!
This is significantly different from the much more loose, imprecise term separation of church and state.
The Constitution only forbids our government from sponsoring or forced compulsion of a particular religious exercise by individual citizens.
It does not require “hermetic separation implying the exclusion of religion or religious persons from public grounds, public affairs, or public office!
If this were the case, nearly every last person who signed our Constitution was in violation of their own authored Constitution!
This means the United States of America went from 1789-1948 (or 159 years) from the time of our Constitutional Congress to the time this phraseology and doctrine was non-legislatively made into a new legal doctrine, finally making it legal!
This specific non-legislated doctrine which had not been used in the United States since its formation, has now been exercised with prejudice ever since, to exclude religion or religious persons from public assembly, public affairs, and even public office!
Again, isn’t it interesting, how unconstitutional the mostly Christian authors of our Constitution were, as well as the many congresses before, to allow for religion or religious persons in public assembly, public affairs, and even public office!
So just as with “a women’s right to choose [the death of their child in the name of privacy]” the authors of our U.S. Constitution also really blew it bad with their unconstitutional exclusion of the term “separation of church and state,” or “wall of separation”!
Who would have guessed how unconstitutional the authors of our constitution really were!
Man those Constitutional Congress racist right wing “Bible thumpers”!
Amazingly posted Eternal Vigilance your post’s is the on level of our founding fathers. God’s justice, will not sleep to this unspeakable holocaust.
You’re in for a hugely rude awakening, if it goes as you wish.
I look forward to having that conversation in a year or two.
Nullify. The states should just ignore the court and carry on.
States have a right to ban birth control. But they don’t have the guts to invoke the 10th Amendment and tell Fedzilla to sod off.
States are terrified of losing federal money. But I’d proudly drive my truck on bad roads and support a plan to economize in the schools if it meant throwing off the yoak of federal tyranny.
Having an abortion should be a felony. It’s first-degree murder.
Abortion is and always will be MURDER in my book.
That would take more courage than we can expect from a state governor.
Defy, defy, defy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think he has. This is a bit disheartening. He needs to be loud and clear on this matter.
