Yes. The court ruled that the SB8 is a legal law, but can still be challenged in court. It also determined that abortion providers can file challenges to the law, but only against the agencies and officials that license them.

I guess this could go in the official spread of covid 19 thread..since it's an official plan to spread covid 19....hey, question for a friend, when can we suggest that these domestic terrorists are suicide bombers? That they've been radicalized to the point of being willing to infect themselves with a biological agent in order to use it as a weapon to bring about the fall of american democracy. They're the ones who kept telling us it was a weapon..weren't they....?
Do the hospitals get to stop accepting covid patients?

The law can be changed slightly to sidestep the court challenge.
SCOTUS has now ruled that every single right under the constitution can be subverted via the bounty system.

Candle factory employees told they’d be fired if they left work early: report :
https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/...ly-report/
Quote:Employees at the candle factory destroyed in a tornado Friday told NBC News they wanted to leave when they heard warning sirens go off, but were told they’d be fired for leaving their shifts early.
The Mayfield Consumer Products factory in Western Kentucky was leveled by the tornado late Friday night. Employees were on-site working the overnight shift manufacturing scented candles.
NBC reports that as employees got word of the approaching storm and tornado sirens began to sound, as many as 15 asked to be let off the job early to seek safety at home. Their requests were reportedly denied.

Atheists Among The Most Likely To Be Vaccinated
Quote:Although some anti-vaxxers identify as liberal or progressive, the vast majority of people who have been angrily railing against COVID-19 vaccines in the United States have been far-right white evangelical fundamentalists, Christian nationalists and MAGA Republicans. And recent has found that atheists have some of the United States’ highest COVID-19 vaccination rates.
It's almost as if there's a connection between religion and stupidity, but you won't catch me saying so.
