Texas can enforce its abortion ban from 1925, the state Supreme Court ruled late Friday evening, a decision that exposes abortion providers to lawsuits and financial penalties if they continue to perform the procedure.

The court overruled a district judge in Houston, who on Tuesday had temporarily blocked the state’s old abortion law from going into effect. That law made performing an abortion, by any method, punishable by two to 10 years in prison.

Friday’s decision does not permit prosecutors to bring criminal cases against abortion providers, but it exposes anyone who assists in the procurement of an abortion to fines and lawsuits.

Can they at least repeal their stupid law that unleashes a bunch of vigilantes suing people involved in abortions? If they do and the state just enforces it like a normal law, that would be a small silver lining of Dobbs.

Isn't this already the case apart from the 1925 law?  What changes?

It's going to take going back to coat hangars, dead women and other tragedies for enough people to open their eyes to the true horror of this decision. Sadly, people have very short attention spans and so many have forgotten the horror that happened before Roe to women in the 60's, 50's and earlier.

I'm ashamed of my country and it's descent towards theocratic authoritarianism.

I have been to protests. Before and after the decision fell. I have been donating to Progressive Organizations, contributing to mutual aid funds and done my best to have an amplified voice.

Revolutionary Optimism is just hard sometimes when you're faced with real evil.

Thank you on behalf of women everywhere. It's heartening to hear that you are being so active.

aaah they're letting people vote on their preferred policies rather than having nine unelected people in creepy robes decide everything this is literally theocracy

If you don’t want to see it, I don’t know what to tell you man. What’s happening is right in front of your eyes, I guess it’s gonna take woman receiving felonies and deaths to wake you up though.
