WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday let stand a decision barring emergency abortions that violate the law in Texas, which has one of the country’s strictest abortion bans. 

Without detailing their reasoning, the justices kept in place a lower court order that said hospitals cannot be required to provide pregnancy terminations that would violate Texas law. 

The Biden administration had asked the justices to throw out the lower court order, arguing that hospitals have to perform abortions in emergency situations under federal law. The administration pointed to the Supreme Court’s action in a similar case from Idaho earlier this year in which the justices narrowly allowed emergency abortions to resume while a lawsuit continues. 

The administration also cited a Texas Supreme Court ruling that said doctors do not have to wait until a woman’s life is in immediate danger to provide an abortion legally. The administration said it brings Texas in line with federal law and means the lower court ruling is not necessary.

Texas actually made it punishable to help a woman leave the state to get an abortion.

Well, that's why this would be an underground railroad. If it was legal there wouldn't be any need to hide it.

Multiple normal states have already passed laws that protect women from any persecution for laws restricting their bodily freedoms. Mine included. And Ya they can try to take the women back but theres no way to tell why a woman left. It's way easier to move a willing person over someone who is surrounded by a supportive community. I'd imagine this organization would help LGBTQ+ people escape as well.

Man history really repeats itself. Civil war 2.0 is on the horizon if the pattern keeps up

I'd do it still. Fuck 'em.

Edit: Just to be clear, there is a very strong argument for those laws being illegal. Nothing says a pregnant woman can't visit another state, so why the fuck would leaving the state mean she can't get an abortion when the state she's visiting says it's 100% legal?

This whole stupid ploy by the GOP is utter bullshit. Women are not things, yet under these laws they are being commoditized and dehumanized into objects meant to be controlled by local laws, and the shortsighted people enforcing those laws.

I gatta hand it to Putin... He is doing a fanatic job dividing this once strong and united county. His boy Trump really paid off.
