"When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross"
Probably the lowest point for the US Constitution in recent history.
The Texas abortion bill does something probably never seen before in the United States, it removes the STATE as the actor.
Its hard to understate the significance of that change. Having lost Constitutional challenges for years, all of which stems from suits against the state government the GOP-led leglislature INTENTIONALLY passed a law that seeks to avoid the United States Constitution by taking the STATE out of the equation, by making PRIVATE CITIZENS the enforcers:
"The law is set to take effect on Sept. 1, and lawyers for abortion clinics are unsure of how to rebuke it because the government isn’t the enforcing body. In the past, six-week bans in other states have all been eventually found unconstitutional as they’ve risen through the legal system. "
Typically, governmental agencies shut down or challenge abortion clinics accused of breaking the law, and the clinics then have a way to challenge the constitutionality of the state law through the courts. By deputizing Americans to sue on their own, clinics and doctors can no longer employ that method.
And why did Texans Reject the Constitution?
GOD
Here is the Governor of the State of Texas:
"“Our creator endowed us with the right to life, and yet millions of children lose their right to life every year because of abortion,” Abbott said in a bill signing ceremony in May. The legislature “worked together on a bipartisan basis to pass a bill that I’m about to sign that ensures that the life of every unborn child who has a heartbeat will be saved from the ravages of abortion.”
Abbott said "bi-partisan" basis
"Republicans clapped, breaking House rules for demonstrations on the floor. Hours later the bill passed, 81–63, on a straight party-line vote except for Democrat Ryan Guillen (Catholic) of Rio Grande City, who voted with Republicans in support.
