Texas Democrats Double Down on Support for Unfettered Abortion
by Brandon Waltens
While the Republican Party of Texas has expressed optimism over a recent leak of a Supreme Court opinion that would potentially overturn two landmark abortion cases, Texas Democrats are re-upping their support for abortion without restraints.
At issue before the court is a case brought by a Mississippi law prohibiting abortion. On Monday evening, Politico released a leaked draft of an opinion from the court that would effectively return the power to regulate abortion to the states, overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
