Texas abortion businesses are admitting likely defeat and suggesting that the abortion ban is probably here to stay after the Supreme Court essentially gutter their lawsuit against it.

UPI reports:

The court’s splintered opinion will define the next chapter in the legal saga, but after the smoke cleared Friday, one thing became increasingly clear: For the abortion providers fighting the restrictions, there might not be a lot left to win.

“The Supreme Court has ruled out the most promising claims that would have stopped the vigilante lawsuits in their tracks,” said Julie Murray, one of the lead attorneys for abortion providers in the case. “A significant portion of the lawsuit was foreclosed by the Supreme Court decision and that’s going to have a really substantial negative impact on access going forward and on Texans.”

The Supreme Court ruled that the providers could continue challenging Texas’ law but weakened their legal strategy by removing nearly all of the defendants in the case, leaving abortion supporters with few options for a viable lawsuit. And legal experts say the state might be able to easily counter what’s left of the suit by amending the law.

Now there are no clear avenues for a major victory on behalf of abortion rights advocates, and the ones that remain will likely be hard fought and wind slowly through the court system by way of appeals.

“Appeals can take many months, if not years. And so the the real impact of the Supreme Court’s decision last week was to essentially disregard the ongoing impact on the ground for Texans in need of abortion,” Murray said.

Since they can’t murder babies a good alternative would be to kill each other or mass suicide. A reenactment of Rev Jim Jones kool aid extravaganza is in order. WE BUY THE KOOL AID.

But, Fred, they can’t get $1.5 million each day from OUR taxes to kill one another. Plus they are too arrogant and narcissistic to kill themselves!

Texas is fighting back against biden lack of national security.Great State of Texas has a message for Biden / democrats.
Biden has not lied about one campaign promise that was to unite our Country,that he did, more hate now, for biden and the democrats are at an all time high, so nuch so even in the great State of Texas personal land ownership has been given up by great Americans to complete the wall that Trump started. Biden has done his best to kill our spirit and our Country but now the American people are more united then ever to take biden and the democrat down. Sorry joe you have destroyed the democrat party forever, you deserve all what history will say about the biden’s .Dalt biden blames all that has gone wrong since he has been in office on the virus or Trump, what kind of weak ass president do we have? When it comes time to open his mouth with China, Russia, Iran, he becomes a total mute, what a lack of backbone, joe the tough guy has no leadership skills. joe biden the original Christmas scrooge, NOT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, only president of the red states, his title must be changed this prat public farter should be impeached in 2022. Biden the baby killer needs to be thrown out of office. The only thing real joe biden will win in 2022 is formal impeachment, for his abuse of power, corruption, violation of his oath of office, lack of national security on our borders, federal and State law violations, lack of proper protection and correct use of our natural energy resources, failure to protect the public, with run away national organized crime, self created national shortages, mismanagement of our economy causing high inflation. Mismanagement of tax payor monies in too many areas, lets not forget to mentionthe tragedy Afghanistan losses of our military equipment, along with the unnecessary of loss of life. Accepting gifts money from adversarial countries with pay to play violations.Turning your back on the Cuban people after they asked for help, promoting electric battery vehicles use by attacking our current resources when what your seeking, won’t be available till 2050 so says your own energy secretary. biden is not the only one looking towards 2022.

Much of this problem will moderate itself if we stop using taxpayer money to fund Planned Parenthood. If that happens, radicals on both sides of this colossal battle will compromise. Conservatives will admit that abortion is legitimate and justified under some instances.

Democrats will find a way to refocus Planned Parenthood on pre-natal care for impoverished expectant mothers. And above all, they’ll agree that this whole subject not the business of government and instead is a private matter between obstetricians and their patients.

The next step for the SCOTUS is to rescind their opinion ‘Roe v Wade’ in favor of recognition of the 10th amendment. Realizing that certain backward, un-American states such as California would still support the barbaric use of abortion most would eliminate or severely restrict it!!
