Stephen Breyer calls Supreme Court decision on Texas abortion law 'very, very, very wrong'

[spanone]

Washington (CNN) - US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer called the high court's recent refusal to block a controversial Texas law that bars abortions at six weeks "very, very, very wrong."

"I'll add one more 'very,' " the liberal Justice told NPR in an interview published Thursday. "And I wrote a dissent. And that's the way it works."

Breyer's comments build on his pointed dissent in the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling that allowed the Texas law -- which is one of the strictest in the nation and bans abortion before many people know they are pregnant -- to remain on the books.

In an unsigned opinion, the majority wrote that while the abortion providers had raised "serious questions regarding the constitutionality of the Texas law," they had not met a burden that would allow the court to block it at this time due to "complex" and "novel" procedural questions.
