<\/p>\nLate Wednesday night the Supreme Court handed down an unsigned opinion that allowed Texas to implement the most extreme abortion law in the United States. It prohibits abortion after only six weeks, by which time most women don’t even know they are pregnant, allows total strangers to bring legal action, and has no exceptions for incest or rape.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
President Biden quickly announced<\/a><\/strong> a “whole-of-government”<\/em> response to “to ensure that women in Texas have access to safe and legal abortions.”<\/em> But in the meantime there will be severe consequences and irreparable harm for the women and their families who the radically right-wing members of the Court so callously disregarded.<\/p>\n Not surprisingly, the subject came up at Thursday’s White House press briefing. Owen Jensen of the Eternal Word Television Network asked a question that was focused more on the politics than the legalities. He entered into this exchange with Press Secretary Jen Psaki:<\/p>\n Jensen:<\/strong> Why does the President support abortion when his own Catholic faith teaches abortion is morally wrong? Psaki: I know you\u2019ve never faced those choices nor have you ever been pregnant but for women out there who have faced those choices, this is an incredibly difficult thing pic.twitter.com\/uelIXzjFvT<\/a><\/p>\n — Acyn (@Acyn) September 2, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nPsaki:<\/strong> He believes that it’s a woman\u2019s right. It’s a woman’s body and it’s her choice, He believes that it’s up to a woman to make those decisions with her doctor. I know you’ve never faced those choices. Nor have you ever been pregnant. But for women out there who have faced those choices, this is an incredibly difficult thing. The President believes that right should be respected.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
