Y'all, I woke up dreading sending this message to you: This afternoon we got the news that the Supreme Court has officially chosen for a second time NOT to block the 6-week Texas abortion ban, announcing that they'll hear challenges to the law TEN DAYS FROM NOW. It's appalling that SCOTUS would make the unprecedented move of allowing a law so blatantly unconstitutional to stay in effect before it’s been argued, leaving patients seeking abortion care in Texas with devastating options. The Court's decision to quickly hear the case from providers and the Justice Department on November 1 offers no comfort, because if they thought there was a problem with banning most abortions, THEY'D HAVE BLOCKED THE LAW. |

Check out the resources here and here for ways you can directly support TX patients while this ban is in effect, and stay tuned for more marching orders from our Texas partners. In rage and solidarity,
Lizz |
