This is an undue burden on women. There is absolutely no reason for it, but, what is new in Republican "POWER GRAB" politics. It is time the Democrats move to end the filibuster and appoint more members to the Supreme Court.
THIS IS OPPRESSION of a woman's right to her own body!
This law is nothing but religious domination of the laws of this land. The legislature must pass laws to protect WOMEN'S RIGHTS and they must do it now. This is THEOCRACY and no one can say differently. Where are the burkas?
If ever there was a power grab in the history of the Supreme Court it was Moscow Mitch and his racist ideas of postponing the nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court under President Obama. That cannot be tolerated considering the adverse effects of a court majority with no respect for women's rights and their damnable agenda to change every decision ever made to their own ideology. It is time to end the tyranny of the Supreme Court and end it now.
I might point out the Chief Justice is at odds with five members of the court more often than not. That is a significant development.

The U.S. Supreme Court (click here) late Wednesday night refused to block a Texas law banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The vote was 5-to-4, with three Trump-appointed justices joining two other conservative justices. Dissenting were conservative Chief Justice John Roberts, and the court's three liberal justices.
The decision left open the option for abortion providers to challenge the Texas law in other ways in the future, leaving open the possibility--even likelihood-- that the case will return to the Supreme Court, though not for months or longer.
The opinion was unsigned. It said the abortion providers didn't properly address "complex and novel antecedent procedural questions" in their case.
"In reaching this conclusion, we stress that we do not purport to resolve definitively any jurisdictional or substantive claim in the applicants' lawsuit," the decision said. "In particular, this order is not based on any conclusion about the constitutionality of Texas's law, and in no way limits other procedurally proper challenges to the Texas law, including in Texas state courts."...
