Dr. Craig, once again, the Supreme Court has really gotten your attention, and this one

has to do with my home state.

This is a debate that we've been watching for decades, dealing with abortion, a new law

in Texas that has been enacted, the Supreme Court's reaction.

We can guess, but tell us why this initially has so gotten your attention.

Well, the first thing is the Texas law itself.

The law in Texas bans abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected.

And so it would prohibit the vast majority of abortions that occur.

The interesting thing about the law that we'll discuss later is that the law is not enforced

by the government of Texas.

And therefore, one cannot sue the Texas governor or the attorney general or any other government

official with respect to the enforcement of this law.

Because what the law simply does is give the right to private citizens to sue abortion

doctors who administer abortions after six weeks, after conception.

And so the intent of the legislation is to simply burden these abortion doctors with such

onerous financial burdens that they will cease doing abortions after six weeks.

And already this law, which went into effect September 1st, is having this effect.

It is reducing the abortions drastically that were being performed in Texas.

And the really stunning thing now that has happened is that this was taken to the Supreme

Court and the Supreme Court refused to put a stay on the Texas law.

By a five to four decision, the court said we're going to just let this stand as it is until the case

comes up for proper judicial review, but they refused to nullify the law, put a stay on the law.
