Biden admin. asks Supreme Court to halt Texas heartbeat abortion law
(Worthy News) – The Biden administration is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse a lower court decision allowing a Texas law banning abortions as early as six weeks of gestation to remain in effect as litigation continues.
In a brief filed Monday, Acting U.S. Solicitor General Brian Fletcher asked the U.S. Supreme Court to vacate the “stay of [the] preliminary injunction issued by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit” that allows Texas’ Senate Bill 8 to remain in effect as the case is adjudicated.
Senate Bill 8, also known as the Texas Heartbeat Act, bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually at around six weeks gestation. The law also lets private citizens sue those who perform abortions or assist women in obtaining abortions and leaves enforcement of the measure to private citizens instead of state officials.
