The Spin
Left narrative
SCOTUS' decision not to hear this case is unfortunate. Texas has effectively banned abortion, and its law's exceptions are written in vague terms to further inhibit women and their doctors. With over a dozen states having passed similar laws, it's incumbent upon the court system to step in and overturn these violations of basic rights.
Right narrative
Texas has the right to protect the state's unborn while there are unacceptable pro-abortion laws being passed elsewhere in the country. Democrats may support abortion on demand and want to nationalize such laws. But these procedures, not to mention abortion pills, both victimize the unborn and harm women.
