After the Supreme Court on Monday struck down his state's law that would have shuttered dozens of abortion clinics, Texas Gov. Attorneys for the state noted that the law was implemented in order to "protect women's health" and improve safety at abortion clinics. "Texas' goal is to protect innocent life, while ensuring the highest health and safety standards for women." Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote a concurring opinion eviscerating the state's argument that the law was passed to protect women's health. Greg Abbott (R) condemned the decision by arguing that it jeopardizes the state's objective "to protect innocent life."
