Here's why all eyes are on the Supreme Court tonight:

All the Supreme Court has to do to effectively end the protections of Roe v. Wade, to allow abortion bans to go into effect, all they need to do is do nothing tonight.

1. I do not think they will . . .

and the repeat of history begins, again. Sad.

[SoCalDavidS]

2. So 1 Hour Left

Hate this country.

[AllaN01Bear]

3. are you ready for back alley abortions and rich ppl skipping off to other countries

so that they can? my late mom experianced many of them as a wealfare worker for alameda county.

[JohnSJ]

6. It moves to states if that happens. California NY will not ban abortions. We are in the situation

we are in because of people like Jill Stein, Nina Turner, Susan Sarandon, and others persuaded just enough people not to vote for Hillary in the 2016 general election, because “the SC didn’t matter”

and that goes for voting rights also

[orleans]

7. same with illinois nt

[WarGamer]

8. I think less than 10 States will follow TX with the 6 week restriction.

Most States, even Red States are in favor of "most" abortions.

I think you're talking

TX
AL
MS
OK
SC
TN

They might follow TX... but not a lot more.

[JohnSJ]

9. True, but still not a good thing, but I can see women crossing state borders if they need an

abortion

[WarGamer]

11. I think that PP and other groups will provide transportation.

[JohnSJ]

14. I agree, but I also see the right importing violence to the states that allow abortion

I suspect this may be the start of a civil war

[WarGamer]

16. Then why haven't we seen it up to now?

Other than a few murderous assholes at clinics... we haven't seen much. The public vastly supports Abortion Rights.

[JohnSJ]

19. I think it will increase significantly, just like increase in racist attacks, and suppression of

voting rights

[WarGamer]

24. Let's hope not...

[JohnSJ]

25. Agreed

[electric_blue68]

29. I remember that Horrific photo...

I think I did 3 Choice Marches in DC.

[Stinky The Clown]

4. 30 minutes to go

Looks like nobody's home

[Nevilledog]

5. Alito has the case. That fucker won't do anything.

[brettdale]

10. so in 22 Minutes Woman might not have right to choose?

so in 22 Minutes Woman might not have right to choose?

[WarGamer]

12. that's a bit of a generalization.

Some States MAY choose to follow TX and institute a 6 week restriction on abortions.

There will be other States (most) with normal rules...

BUT... this would be a crushing blow for Womens Health Advocacy.

[brettdale]

13. so after six weeks its illegal?

so after six weeks its illegal?

[Hekate]

18. Actually, before. And your next door neighbor can rat on you & collect a $10,000 bounty

[Hekate]

15. 7 minutes. Tick tick tick

[brettdale]

17. as soon as it strikes midnight

Is their a press release?

[orleans]

20. yee haw. my understanding is that it's all going to begin in texas

[proud patriot]

21. 2 minutes

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Rstrstx]

22. It's 11pm in TX

They still have an hour

[berniesandersmittens]

23. 12:02 by my clock

[brettdale]

26. Now that its afetr midnight

And the SCOTUS didnt do anything, the Texas law comes into effect?

[wackadoo wabbit]

27. They have until midnight Central Time, as TX is in CT

Not that I expect anything to happen in the next 45 minutes.

Fuck this!

[Stinky The Clown]

28. Abortion rights end starts in 32 minutes.

Please make that reply title a lie.

[proud patriot]

30. Oh shoot I was offby an hour

I'm in Hawaii .. too much math for me LOL

[electric_blue68]

31. TX - It's an Infuriating law!

[Polybius]

32. 14 minutes

Following this thread closely.

[Polybius]

33. 1:03 now

[LeftInTX]

34. I can't find anything, so I assume no...

[Polybius]

37. They went the coward route...

The tattle tale part of the bill has got to be unconstitutional....

Whatever they "decide", is permanent and final, so they've kicked the can....

They did not allow an injunction, but they also did not disallow an injunction yet...

Yes, the Texas law is now in effect....But they can either affirm the law or allow an injunction...Time will tell....
