Americans in many states support significant restrictions on abortion.

The new Texas law bans abortions after a “fetal heartbeat” is detected, usually about six weeks into pregnancy. But doctors say that’s not an actual medical term and it’s being used inaccurately.

At least one case slated to be heard in the Supreme Court’s next term promises to be very controversial: Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health.

Texas’ six-week abortion ban raised enough eyebrows at the Supreme Court on Monday to suggest the justices may reject the attempt to avoid federal court oversight by handing off enforcement to private citizens.

Six justices voiced concern that other states could replicate the controversial law’s enforcement mechanism.

Texas’ new heartbeat law, SB8, doesn’t sit well with the abortion industry. Protecting life in the womb never does.

NO. 19-1392 in the Supreme Court of the United States THOMAS E. DOBBS, M.D., M.P.H. IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS STATE HEALTH OFFICER OF THE MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, et al., Petitioners, v. JACKSON WOMEN’S HEALTH ORGANIZATION, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS PATIENTS, et al., Respondents

Dr. P. Andrew Sandlin once told me, “Political victories are perfectly compatible with losing the culture,” and he is right. The decision by the Fifth Court of Appeals and U.S. Supreme Court not to grant an emergency stay that would have prevented a Texas abortion law from going into effect is clearly a political victory. .

If Planned Parenthood’s mission is truly to serve women in need, the Texas Heartbeat Act presents the group with a prime opportunity.

The Supreme Court’s decision to let a Texas abortion law stand returns us to a better standard for protecting the unborn.
