took effect in september. the bill that i'm about to sign that ensures that the life of unborn child who has a heartbeat will be saved from the ravages of abortion. the law offers of financial reward to private citizens who successfully sue any one who performs or enables and abortion in texas. doctors, nurses, even over drivers are at risk of civil penalties. attorney elizabeth myers says she too

make a difference as to why the supreme court may ultimately do, or the judge that is currently are dealing with the lawsuit brought by the justice department. that's difficult to say, you know, ideally, or typically it shouldn't make a difference as far as in the public opinion because of course, judges are supposed to be neutral. however, as we saw from the supreme court last month when they, when they failed due or rather they chose not to not to hear, you know, whether or not that these interfere with the texas law and was a 5 to 4 vote. and what, what we did see though, is that they did leave a door open to the possibility that they may, in fact, entertain hearing from the justice department and, and making a ruling on this in the future. again, on face value, theoretically it shouldn't make a difference to judicial officers were supposed to be neutral. but do i think the court of public opinion has carries weight? of course it does. of course, it does, and people have been extremely vocal and are very passionate about this issue. yes, what's been joe biden says he hopes his political rivals. the republicans will be responsible and not stand in the way of congress

is why i'm thinking about tackling violence. the only solution now is to all can legal patches the how and that you modifying corridor that can lead people go out from libya and reach that we're p and tied are 3 in a face way. otherwise, people will say in the pension, suffering the treatment, and they, when the will be able to leave, believe the ad that would be kept and 10 back. i think that's a
