In reply to the discussion: Breaking: AG Garland announces DOJ will protect women seeking an abortion in Texas [View all]StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)In fact, the only people I see claiming the AG's announcement is directed to the law are those who are attacking him because they don't seem to understand what the announcement actually was.
Garland didn't say enforcing the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act will directly address the new Texas state law. But, as I said, it certainly is one way to deal with the law's fallout.
And I have no doubt that had Garland not made it a DOJ priority to enforce that federal law in order to protect women seeking abortions from intimidation and violence, when such intimidation and violence ensue in the wake of the new state law, people would attack him for not foreseeing that as a consequence of the new law and not being prepared to do something about it.
