The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to let stand a new anti-abortion law in Texas, which bans all abortions in the state after six weeks - before most people even realize they are pregnant - and allows for private citizens to sue anyone who aids and abets" a person in getting an abortion. Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, says, It is clearly an unconstitutional law" that must be reversed. It's absolutely an abomination," says Northup, who urges Congress to pass new legislation protecting reproductive rights as legal challenges to the Texas law continue.
