Biden’s DOJ Requests Supreme Court Block Texas Heartbeat Act, Despite Their Refusal to Intervene Last Month
The Department of Justice has requested that the Supreme Court block the Texas ‘Heartbeat Act,’ even though the high court opted not to intervene just last month.
The Texas law prohibits abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which is typically around six weeks.
Breitbart News reports, “the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed suit against Texas days after the law took effect on September 1, when the Supreme Court of the United States, in a 5-4 decision, denied abortion providers’ emergency application to block the law from going into effect while legal challenges proceed in lower courts.”
“In his filing, Acting Solicitor General Brian Fletcher argued that Texas’s law is ‘clearly unconstitutional’ and defies Supreme Court precedent.
