Abortion opponents may finally get their way.
Last week, women in Texas who support abortion rights were dealt a double blow: Not only could they no longer get an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, but their fellow Texans would be the ones enforcing the rule. "There's a sinister brilliance to the way this whole thing has gone down," wrote columnist Michelle Goldberg. "The law is written so that they, not the police or prosecutors, get to enforce it, and potentially profit off it." And the Supreme Court's silence on the issue did not go unnoticed. "The court gave the green light to lawmakers everywhere who have been itching for decades to overturn Roe v. Wade," Lauren Kelley wrote. In the words of columnist Gail Collins, "these are perilous times for women's right to choose." |
