A Texas Law which bans abortions after six weeks was allowed to stand today, Friday, 12-10-21 by the Supreme Court. The law, known as SB-8, also created challenges about who abortion providers could sue to challenge the law. This Texas law, and a pending decision on a similar fifteen week Mississippi law known as Dobbs, may rewrite abortion law with the court's conservative majority. Joan Biskupic of CNN, NBC's Pete Williams, and UNT-Dallas law professor Brian Owsley weigh in on these issues.
