Paul Weber and Jamie Stengle, Associated Press:
The Texas Supreme Court on Friday dealt essentially a final blow to abortion clinics’ best hopes of stopping a restrictive law that has sharply curtailed the number of abortions in the state since September and will now fully stay in place for the foreseeable future.
The ruling by the all-Republican court was not unexpected, but it slammed the door on what little path forward the U.S. Supreme Court had allowed Texas clinics after having twice declined to stop a ban on abortions after roughly six weeks of pregnancy.
It spells the coming end to a federal lawsuit that abortion clinics filed even before the restrictions took effect in September — and were then rejected at nearly every turn, and in nearly every court, for six months.
“There is nothing left, this case is effectively over with respect to our challenge to the abortion ban,” said Marc Hearron, attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, which led the challenge against the Texas law known as Senate Bill 8. https://apnews.com/article/abortion-health-texas-0b4ed1808ed44d176bf6c86e6646a718

On the flip side that means things look good for CA gun law.

Sad for the women of Texas, and for the law generally. We are being encouraged to be snoops and rats against our neighbors who are engaged in lawful activity we personally don't like. Not a place we should go, imo.Paul Weber and Jamie Stengle, Associated Press:

Yes, by all means, move to a baby killing state. In addition be sure to take the transgender women who want to compete unfairly against biological women and girls. Put all the rotten eggs in one basket as they say. I'm sure that Progressives and extreme liberals will be much happier living in states that allow every perversion they can dream up.Women in Texas need to pack their bags and move to a state that won't take their freedoms and liberty from them.
The people of Texas need to vote these anti freedom far right radical extremists out of office.

"Rotten eggs" ..... thanks for letting us know how you feel about women.Yes, by all means, move to a baby killing state.

I'm sure that Progressives and extreme liberals will be much happier living in states that allow every perversion they can dream up.
How do you know who votes for them?More than half the people voting them into office are women. And expect a number of these "anti freedom far right radical extremists" are, in fact,.......

I'm sure other states such as CA & NY are protecting aborting rights. CO wants to ensure protection of unrestricted abortion rights, which is what we have now.

There is a fundamental difference.
The Constitution (Bill of Rights) specifically names the right to bear arms as a protected right in the nation. Abortion however is not specifically named as a right in the country. On the contrary, the 10th amendment specifically says that the right to determine the status of abortion rights lie with the states, as abortion rights is not specifically given to the federal government. I believe that is where the SCOTUS is headed and It believe it to be the constitutionally correct ruling.
My state did that 30 years ago in 1992.
It was a ballot initiative that said no matter what any judge says, no matter what any politician says, Roe V. Wade remains the law of the land in my state.
It passed with a good margin. I voted with the majority.
There is absolutely nothing anyone can do to reverse that law.
Women have been and will forever be protected in my state.
So? Your point?
And I don't buy that.
Texas is so severely gerrymandered anyone who has an open mind and isn't a far right radical extremist has lost their vote because of that gerrymandering.
If the state wasn't so gerrymandered Texas would not have such laws being written, passed and signed into law.
According to every poll ever taken, the majority of Americans don't want Roe V. Wade repealed and that includes 53% of republicans.
So I wouldn't be surprised if most of the women in Texas don't support this law and don't want Roe V. Wade repealed.
I wouldn't be surprised that when women and girls start dying because they were denied an abortion things will change in Texas.
That is IF the women in Texas haven't already realized that voting republican has been a very big mistake and votes those republicans out of office.

How do you know who votes for them?
I'm guessing that's what's going to happen here, since Dems are in charge, and abortion restrictions have always been turned down by the voters here.
42 is < 501. 42% of women in Texas supported the law.
