Xi Biden to assess possible federal response to Texas abortion ban

President Biden on Thursday said he is directing his administration to look into ways to protect abortion access for women in Texas after the Supreme Court refused to block the state's law that bans almost all abortions
Biden decried the 5-4 decision as an "unprecedented assault" on a woman's right to an abortion under the precedent of Roe v. Wade and warned it will result in harmful consequences for millions of women in the nation's second most populous state.
"By allowing a law to go into effect that empowers private citizens in Texas to sue health care providers, family members supporting a woman exercising her right to choose after six weeks, or even a friend who drives her to a hospital or clinic, it unleashes unconstitutional chaos and empowers self-anointed enforcers to have devastating impacts," Biden said in a statement.

"For the majority to do this without a hearing, without the benefit of an opinion from a court below, and without due consideration of the issues, insults the rule of law and the rights of all Americans to seek redress from our courts," Biden added. "Rather than use its supreme authority to ensure justice could be fairly sought, the highest Court of our land will allow millions of women in Texas in need of critical reproductive care to suffer while courts sift through procedural complexities."
The president said he was asking the Gender Policy Council and White House Counsel to "launch a whole-of-government effort to respond to this decision, looking specifically to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice to see what steps the Federal Government can take to ensure that women in Texas have access to safe and legal abortions as protected by Roe, and what legal tools we have to insulate women and providers from the impact of Texas' bizarre scheme of outsourced enforcement to private parties."

It’s now easier to obtain an assault rifle in Texas than it is to get an abortion.

It’s really gross how much left wants to murder babies. It’s like their favorite hobby besides rioting and looting

abortions kill far more than assault rifles, so not sure what the problem is.

How fricked up is our world that "omg it's easier to get a gun than to extinguish human life for convenience" will be accepted by a large contingent as a statement that makes sense?

He didn't care about the "rule of law" when he resumed his eviction ban

Sounds good to me. One kills far more people than the other, right?

You can't obtain something that doesn't exist.
Rifles are bolt action/single shot, semi automatic, burst fire or fully automatic.

Oh NOOOOOO, we can't have people reporting on people who break the law.
Raping Joe just will not stand for that....
Biden administration is actively encouraging American citizens to report their friends and family to the government if they “perceive” them to be too radical.
And, of course we all know that in the demented and deranged mind of Dementia Joe and the 51 million SCUMBAGS who actually voted for him, a "radical" is anyone of the 74 million Americans who voted for Trump.

Well the constitution does state "shall not be infringed" for one of the two. Now Texas reflects that adequately.

Should be the automatic mic drop moment for anyone who makes that comparison within earshot.

Shame on that priest for refusing him communion.
I wonder if the pope supports this?
