The Biden administration announced on Thursday that it is taking legal action against the state of Texas over a bill that recently became law in the state that protects unborn babies from being aborted at the point of the “first detectable heartbeat.”
“The case sets up a federal-state clash over the future of abortion rights, and a test of whether the department can upend a state law that Texas lawmakers drafted in a manner that makes it difficult for abortion-rights advocates to challenge the ban in court,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “The Biden administration has faced pressure from Democrats and abortion-rights groups to take action to stop the Texas restrictions after the Supreme Court last week allowed them to take effect.”
