Democrats lash out at Supreme Court for doing 'nothing' and allowing 'radical' and 'extreme' 6-week

abortion ban to take effect in Texas

Congressional Democrats on Wednesday ripped into the Supreme Court for allowing a Texas law that ban abortions after six weeks of pregnancy to take effect.

The law, passed in May by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, became one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the nation once it went into effect at midnight Wednesday. It prohibits abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which typically occurs at the six-week mark of pregnancy, a time when many people do not yet know they are pregnant. There are no exceptions for cases of rape or incest

The Supreme Court failed to act on an emergency petition to block the Texas law, known as SB8, which limits access to abortions for patients across the state.

Democrats argued on Wednesday that the law poses a direct challenge to abortion protections provided by the Supreme Court's 1973 landmark decision Roe v. Wade.

Its sole function is to perpetuate minority rule.

It is an auxiliary arm of the Republican Party and should be treated as such.

When Republicans do similar, they are 'pointing out' or 'arguing', or 'asserting', or perhaps 'decrying'.
