Supreme Court Could Soon Rule On Request To Halt Texas Abortion Law

The transcript discusses the Justice Department's request to halt a controversial Texas abortion ban, which was temporarily blocked by a District Court but later overturned by an appeals court. The Biden administration filed a lawsuit against Texas, claiming the law defies the Constitution. The law is the most restrictive in the U.S., banning abortions after a heartbeat is detected, typically around six weeks. The conservative-leaning Supreme Court allowed the law to take effect in September amid a separate legal challenge by abortion providers.
