Content warning: mentions rape
The United States’ Biden Administration is suing Texas for their ‘unconstitutional’ abortion ban.
This comes after the Supreme Court last week allowed Texas to introduce an abortion ban on women who are more than 6 weeks pregnant, and didn’t make any exceptions for cases of incest and rape.
President Joe Biden said the law is unconstitutional as it relies on private citizens to enforce it by filing civil lawsuits against any women who get an abortion and anyone who aids them, including taxi drivers.
The law allows citizens who sue anyone breaking the ban to receive bounties of at least $10,000 US dollars.
