A growing number of GOP state legislators across the country move to try and get around U.S. Supreme Court precedent
Whether the Texas law will survive multiple legal challenges, which could thwart other states’ plans to copy it. Theis weighing whether to let two lawsuits brought by abortion providers and the Justice Department move forward after hearing oral arguments in the cases November 1. The court could potentially issue an injunction that would block the law while the litigation plays out.
States could look to follow SB 8 for more than just restricting abortion, as opponents of the Texas law have argued its lawsuit provision—which was designed to make it harder for the law to be struck down in court—could also be used to get around federal protections for gun rights or same-sex marriage. SB 8 went into effect on September 1 as the most restrictive abortion law to take effect in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, banning nearly all abortions in the state.
