The Texas law goes too far, but abortion is not a "right". It's an elective surgery that taxpayers shouldn't be paying for unless it qualifies under the Hyde Amendment.
Pope Francis Welcomes Nancy Pelosi in the Vatican
ROME — Pope Francis granted a private audience in the Vatican to U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Saturday, just two weeks after the House passage of the most radical pro-abortion legislation ever introduced.
Passing the Women’s Health Protection Act is a “very exciting day,” said Pelosi, a Catholic, on September 23. “We’ve long been supporters of Roe v. Wade. We haven’t been able to codify it because we never had a Democratic pro‑choice Majority with a Democratic President, and now we do, and now we do.”
For his part, Pope Francis has insisted that abortion is “murder” and that abortionists are like “hit men” who are paid to assassinate those deemed inconvenient.
The Catholic Church teaches that abortion is a grave moral evil and attaches its severest penalty of automatic excommunication for those who participate in it.

Supreme Court agrees to review Texas's 6-week abortion ban
The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to review Texas’s six-week abortion ban, scheduling oral arguments for Nov. 1.
The court’s move comes in response to legal challenges by the Department of Justice and Texas abortion providers, who have argued the restriction clearly violates the court’s 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade and subsequent rulings.
The question the court has agreed to consider concerns the ability of courts to review the Texas law in light of its unique legislative design, which critics have likened to a "bounty" system.
Supreme Court agrees to review Texas's 6-week abortion ban
Liberal Supreme Court Justice Kagan mocks the 'geniuses' who wrote Texas' six-week abortion ban to 'evade federal constitutional rights' and Brett Kavanaugh says Second Amendment would be at risk if the law was allowed to stand
The Supreme Court on Monday heard a case involving Texas' new law that bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, and appears to be leaning toward blocking the law.
Four of the nine members on the highest court -- Chief Justice John Roberts and the three liberal justices -- had voted previously to halt enforcement of the Texas Heartbeat Act, which makes no exception for rape or incest.
Two conservative justices appointed by former president Donald Trump -- Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett -- appeared inclined after two hours of oral arguments to also vote to block the novel Texas law.

Justice Sotomayor criticizes Texas abortion ban in scathing dissent after SCOTUS failed to help providers: 'This case is a disaster for the rule of law and a grave disservice to women'
Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a scathing dissent in the the Supreme Court case involving the Texas abortion ban, calling it a 'disaster' and a 'grave disservice to women.'
- The Supreme Court rejected a request by abortion providers to have the case sent to a district judge who had previously moved to block the Texas law
Sotomayor ripped into the Texas abortion law on Thursday after the court rejected a request by abortion providers to have the case sent to a district judge who had previously moved to block the Texas law in a 6-3 decision.
Instead, the case will remain with the conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, the AFP reported.
The Texas law, which went into effect on September 1, bans abortions after six weeks, when a heartbeat in the womb can be detected but before many women even know they are pregnant. In December, the Supreme Court ruled to leave the ban in place as challenges were being litigated.
Sotomayor calls Texas abortion case a 'disaster' in dissent | Daily Mail Online
Sotomayor, like all liberal Supreme Court Justices, thinks she’s an unelected legislator with a lifetime appointment. They think only chumps run for Congress.Sotomayor seems to have a misunderstanding about the role of the SC. Just an activist. It's really dangerous if there are too many like her added.
