Supreme Court needs immediate reform, the president immunity decision, Dobbs and Chevron reversal should be voided as soon as possible. The republic will die if it’s not done. If Democrats have a trifecta, they must act.

I’m sure Robert’s wouldn’t hesitate to employ a life saving abortion ***on his own daughter*** if her life was threatened by a pregnancy… Or maybe he would laugh at her as she bled out? I don’t know he seems like a pretty evil guy.

Wealthy women from Texas will always have access to abortion.
When it affects them, abortion becomes a “private family matter.” They can afford the plane tickets and the cost.

No surprise to me! We got religious zealots on SCOTUS so why is anyone surprised?

If you live in TX, vote blue like your life or the life of a loved one depends on it… because as this ruling shows, it ***will depend on it***.

These corrupt Trump justices are just as cold as he is and do not give a fuck about women or anyone but themselves. Vote every single Republican out of every single office in every single state.

When I want to have kids, I will move from TX for my own safety. I’m not going to risk a pregnancy unless I know I have access to life saving healthcare.
Until then, I’ll stay here and make sure I keep voting for politicians who want to protect reproductive rights. I feel like I owe this to the women who aren’t privileged enough to get out of here. I just hope more doctors choose to do the right thing instead of panicking about whether they can get in trouble.

Maybe it will finally kick some more women off the bench to vote, but probably not.
It’s amazing how we let six unelected religious nutjobs make life-and-death decisions like this. Just unbelievable.
**Trump’s** Supreme Court Decides to Let Texas Women Die
They already don’t have exceptions for rape, incest, or fetal deformity
Trumps hand picked justices took away what had been an individual right to bodily autonomy, and gave it to government.
If this doesn’t turn Texas blue, I don’t know what will.
Pro life in the womb fuck you outside of it.
Those six justices should be charged for every death that occurs because of their decision.
Texas has enough women to stop this at the ballot box, anytime they choose.
I don’t understand. Do Texas women not vote? I thought this would get more women out to prevent this.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://newrepublic.com/post/186858/supreme-court-texas-emergency-abortion-ban) reduced by 74%. (I’m a bot)
