Texas heartbeat law keeps on beating

Supreme Court Humiliates Biden, Refuses to Stop Texas Heartbeat Law, and Gorsuch and the Wise Latina Have a Public Spat

...

 The enforcement mechanism is a critical part of the bill because that prevented Texas from being sued and an injunction obtained. Because the enforcement mechanism is civil and not criminal until someone filed a lawsuit, the abortion industry doesn’t have a clear target. In the meantime, abortion ground to a halt in Texas because the “little Eichmann’s” of the abortion industry didn’t want to risk their homes and life savings defending against lawsuit after lawsuit.

A group of abortion providers banded together to sue a raft of state officials hoping to find someone who could vaguely be linked to the bill. Merrick Garland’s Justice Department tried to bigfoot its way into a major abortion case by suing Texas.

...

First, the Supreme Court dismissed the Department of Justice lawsuit without comment. Only The Wise Latina® would have acted on it. There is no shock here as Sotomayor has never encountered a fetus that an appointment with a shop-vac couldn’t have improved.

Next, the Court did not grant an injunction stopping the law, but it did kick the case back to the district court to proceed. All of the named defendants were given immunity except some licensing officials who might be involved in sanctioning abortionists and clinics in the event of a successful lawsuit. Notably, the one private citizen named was deemed to be immune from court action by the abortionists.

Long story short, the abortionists found a way to challenge the law. Still, the Texas law remains in effect, and the Mississippi abortion law will be decided (Justice Thomas Tears Into Pro-Abortion Lawyers With Hard Opening Questions) before Whole Woman’s Health passes through appellate channels. I also think this case will have some hard sledding. Mississippi is in the same federal circuit as Texas, and those judges saw which way the chips were falling when the Supreme Court debated Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. My guess is they will not approve any injunction against the Texas Heartbeat Bill.

...

There is much more. 

The pro-aborts are in a procedural nightmare at this point.  The bill and the babies survive for another day in Texas.  If Texas and Mississippi prevail the decision on whether abortion will be allowed will be up to the legislature of the states.
