AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A federal judge has determined that new Texas abortion restrictions violate the U.S. Constitution, a ruling that keeps open — at least for now — dozens of abortion clinics that were set to halt operations Tuesday had the law taken effect.
Once more, extremist ideology has been defeated in the courts. This will most likely move up to the Supreme Court, where I expect 2 things will happen.
1) SCOTUS will uphold the ruling, saying the Texas law places an undue burden on women.
2) Some here will call Justice Roberts a RINO. Never mind that he will have upheld the Constitution, and left ideology out of his decision.
Of course, for some of the "smaller government crowd, they really do want big government when it suits their own desires to force their own religious beliefs on others.

We all knew it was going to be challeneged and sent up to the Supreme Court where the law will be upheld through a 5 -4 decision.
The Texas legislation took all of that into acccount and some Lib Judge can't do anything about that.
Its not even note worthy.

I'd be one that is for LIMITED small government, but within those limits is a protective function. To protect human life trumps other concerns for any rational human being.
Gotta say though, the judges bio is pretty good.... we'll see what happens up the chain.

With all due respect, I see a lot of people say that it's to protect life, and that there is nothing religious about it, but virtually every protest against an abortion clinic I have ever seen was done by a religious organization. Say what you will, but this issue IS about forcing religion down the throats of others.
Well naturally protecting life would be a religious concern and a moral concern that is a basic and self evident natural law.
exactly this is why abortion is legal but limited
theres TWO lives, not just one.
And that argument is what anti-abortionists use to hide behind their real agenda. Truth is, if my wife was raped, and became pregnant as a result of that rape, I would have no problem believing that I am going to heaven, even as she and I step inside the door of that abortion clinic.
It's time for the wingnuts who wanted the courts to rule Obamacare unconstitutional to start whining about judicial activism
Where "actual life" is the issue, rather than simply "quality of life" for one or the other, that may be a valid argument to make.
I would understand your decision, however I would rather punish the guilty, save the innocent, and have compassion upon the victim.
At this point with regard to ACA, I'd prefer mass civil disobedience, refusing to fill medical lines on IRS forms. Can we have an AMEN!?

With all due respect, abortion is murder and although legal if you support abortion then you are going to have to take that up with "your" God at sometime in the future. I doubt the "hearing" is going to go well for you.
I don't like getting into Abortion or religious debates because I know how strongly I believe in God. I am not going to change anyone else's mind so it is a waste of time therefore that is why I state you will have to reconcile your position someday in the future.

i underlined the point where your argument runs into a problem.
if abortion is legal, how can it be classified as murder?

2.) nope, its not, you just proved that statment false

2.)The term unlawful is the only thing that keeps women and doctors out of jail.
3.)That doesn't mean that it isn't murder because it is the premeditated killing of a human being.
