Biden slammed the court\u2019s decision as an \u201cunprecedented assault on a woman\u2019s constitutional rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Texas implemented what is known as a \u201cheartbeat\u201d bill on September 1, banning most abortions once cardiac activity can be detected in an unborn child, which is about six weeks into a pregnancy. While other states have passed similar legislation, Texas\u2019 law is the first to be implemented and avoid a stay from a court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Supreme Court\u2019s ruling overnight is an unprecedented assault on a woman\u2019s constitutional rights under Roe v. Wade, which has been the law of the land for almost fifty years,\u201d Biden said in a statement. \u201cWhile the Chief Justice was clear to stress that the action by the Supreme Court is not a final ruling on the future of Roe, the impact of last night\u2019s decision will be immediate and requires an immediate response.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne reason I became the first president in history to create a Gender Policy Council was to be prepared to react to such assaults on women\u2019s rights,\u201d he continued. \u201cHence, I am directing that Council and the Office of the White House Counsel to launch a whole-of-government effort to respond to this decision, looking specifically to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice to see what steps the Federal Government can take to ensure that women in Texas have access to safe and legal abortions as protected by Roe, and what legal tools we have to insulate women and providers from the impact of Texas\u2019 bizarre scheme of outsourced enforcement to private parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court was careful not to weigh in on the constitutionality of the Texas law, deciding its ruling on procedural grounds. The Texas law contains a unique enforcement mechanism that authorizes private citizens to sue abortion providers and those who \u201caid and abet\u201d illegal abortions. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/supreme-court-rejects-abortion-providers-request-to-stay-texas-heartbeat-law\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"29\">\n<p><em>The court dismissed the request, which names every state court judge and clerk as defendants, based on procedural grounds.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt is unclear whether the named defendants in this lawsuit can or will seek to enforce the Texas law against the applicants in a manner that might permit our intervention,\u201d the ruling states. \u201cThe State has represented that neither it nor its executive employees possess the authority to enforce the Texas law either directly or indirectly. Nor is it clear whether, under existing precedent, this Court can issue an injunction against state judges asked to decide a lawsuit under Texas\u2019s law.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The court was also careful not to suggest it had made a decision on the constitutionality of the law.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn reaching this conclusion, we stress that we do not purport to resolve definitively any jurisdictional or substantive claim in the applicants\u2019 lawsuit. In particular, this order is not based on any conclusion about the constitutionality of Texas\u2019s law, and in no way limits other procedurally proper challenges to the Texas law, including in Texas state courts,\u201d the opinion states.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
