What Are Democrats Going to Do About Texas’ Abortion Ban?
Probably not much of anything, and here’s why.
Following the recent legislation that not only effectively serves as a ban on abortion in the state of Texas, but rewards citizen vigilantes with $10,000 for successfully suing an abortion provider or anyone who helps a woman get an abortion as well, there have certainly been a lot of conversations regarding what the Democratic party can or will do in response. The Justice Department under the leadership of Joe Biden has decided to sue the state of Texas, which is a worthwhile step regardless of its ultimate success.
