Today, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments regarding the Texas 6-week abortion ban that’s enforced by citizens, not the state. The stakes are extremely high: Current legal precedent means that states cannot ban abortion before fetal viability, which is different for every pregnancy but typically about 22 to 24 weeks, and even tired people on Monday mornings can see that 6 weeks is well before 22 weeks. There is a different Supreme Court abortion case on a Mississippi 15-week ban being heard on December 1, and 15 weeks is also well before viability. It sure seems like the court is setting itself up to appear “moderate” by blocking the 6-week ban and upholding the 15-week ban.
