Summary

In a move that is deeply damaging to the credibility and legitimacy of the US Supreme Court, the Court declined to stop an unconstitutional Texas law from going into effect. The Texas authorities passed a law saying a woman can not have an abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected - at about 6 weeks of the pregnancy - which directly violates the Supreme Court precedent of Roe v. Wade. In a very real sense, the Supreme Court is allowing the state of Texas to violate the constitutional rights of women. Here is an overview of what it all means and what the future danger is to the constitutional rights of all Americans.

1:24.8	the procedure in most cases after six weeks of pregnancy with an emergency request for
1:31.2	the Supreme Court to block the statute going unanswered.
1:36.6	The court could grant the request from abortion providers and their advocates in the coming
1:41.4	days, but for now, clinics in Texas said they will no longer provide abortions more
1:48.4	than six weeks from a woman's last period.
1:52.6	The law effectively eliminates the guarantee in Roe v. Wade and subsequent Supreme Court
