Texas officials have filed a legal brief with the Supreme Court urging it to allow the abortion ban to continue saving babies while the lawsuits Joe Biden and the abortion industry filed against it move forward.
Today is the 54th day the Texas abortion ban is saving babies from abortion, and as many as 5,000 babies could possibly have been saved from abortions so far.
Texas officials argue the Supreme Court can’t overturn the law and must block the request for a temporary injunction against it because they are not charged with enforcing the abortion ban under the private right of action provisions of the law allowing for private lawsuits to be filed against abortionists and those who assist in killing babies.
Here’s more: In a 93-page brief , the officials argued that since the Texas law is enforced by private citizens instead of the state government, both lawsuits were wrongly filed against them. “No state executive official actually enforces [the law],” Texas wrote, “making the injunction an improper attempt to enjoin a law rather than a person.” But the Biden administration in its own court filing slammed that enforcement mechanism as a “brazen attack on the supremacy of federal law,” arguing that “if Texas is right, no decision of this Court is safe.” Click here to sign up for pro-life news alerts from LifeNews.com And a group of abortion-rights providers and advocates in a separate brief urged the high court to reject Texas’s “cynical strategy” to avoid judicial review. Last week, the Supreme Court today refused a request by Joe Biden and abortion businesses in Texas to block the Texas abortion ban and the nation’s highest court agreed to review the pro-abortion lawsuits against the abortion ban and set oral arguments for November 1.
The court, in its order , said it would consider the following questions: whether “the state can insulate from federal-court review a law that prohibits the exercise of a constitutional right by delegating to the general public the authority to enforce that prohibition through civil action”; and can “the United States bring suit in federal court and obtain […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
