Quote:WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is declining to revive Oklahoma's strict ultrasound law for women seeking abortions.

There have been a whole series of these rulings as the various republicunt state legislatures try to drag women back to the 10th century and they have not been faring too well. Will Texas continue trying to pass them?
Of course they will!

I'm glad to see you have faith in us Texans, Min. When Rick Perry, the fucknut, steps down, our next governor, Greg Abbott, will likely be even worse, since he has a rudimentary brain and Rick Perry does not. And he WILL be the next governor unless someone pushes his wheelchair down the stairs. I love Wendy Davis, but she is not going to win.

Prepare for Texas to get worse. Get your popcorn, Yankees. It'll be an epic clusterfuck.

Glad to see in cases like these that the SCOTUS remain reasonably sound in the face of all the bullshit.

A lot of this horseshit legislation that the republicunts are pushing is designed to get a case to the court to overturn Roe v Wade. The court seems to be saying "don't fucking bother us," with this stuff anymore.
Stare Decisis The thing is decided.

No more government-mandated rape in Oklahoma!

Restrictions on abortion don't control the action of women.
They control the actions of DOCTORS.

Then you will happily allow me bar anyone from giving you access to any food then, since starvation, hopefully to the death, is implemented by control of the actions of FARMERS, and not you.

Right. Because women can always resort to using a coat hanger.

You christians capable of practicing your misogyny head on anymore? And don't bother tap dancing about the 'controls' being anything other than an attempt to control wombs.

Doctors should be banned from doing THAT as well.
