SCOTUS to review Texas abortion law on Monday

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : But Texas's law was designed to avoid review by federal courts, which are bound by Supreme Court precedent and routinely stop state officials from enforcing laws that attempt to ban abortion or restrict the procedure early in a pregnancy.
43% : Texas has shifted enforcement of the law from state officials to private citizens, who may bring lucrative civil lawsuits against those who aid or abet the prohibited abortions.
42% : While the court ignored requests to reconsider Roe and Casey as part of Monday's arguments, doubts about whether they should remain as precedent provide the background for the state's law that has mostly shut down the availability of abortion in the nation's second-largest state.
40% : Texas's law virtually bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, a point clearly at odds with Roe and 1992's follow-up Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which said states may not impose an undue burden on those seeking an abortion before fetal viability, about 22 to 24 weeks.
