I gave you sources as well. Where is your source saying that an embryo has a heart and a heartbeat at 6 weeks gestation?
Justice Dept. seeks emergency order to block Texas abortion law
"The United States seeks a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction enjoining the enforcement of S.B. 8," the department said. "This relief is necessary to protect the constitutional rights of women in Texas and the sovereign interest of the United States in ensuring that its States respect the terms of the national compact. It is also necessary to protect federal agencies, employees, and contractors whose lawful actions S.B. 8 purports to prohibit."

Apparently to some it is.
Abortion providers can thwart the will of God?
If they're that powerful, maybe you should be worshipping them instead.

Furthermore, if God saw fit to predetermine that pregnant women will seek abortions and doctors will provide them, then who are we to question His/Her/Its/Their will in the first place?
Clearly, abortions are part of His/Her/Its/Their divine plan.

This isn't about the fetus. This is about the bodily autonomy of the woman.
If there are two people in the whole world that have blood type Z and one of the two people need a blood transfusion you cannot force the other to give up their blood. For any reason. Do you think the person choosing not to give up their blood should be arrested? They are the only person in the world that can save the other person's life. So in a way they have killed them. However to force them would infringe on their bodily autonomy.

I want to argue tooth and nail against you but your probably right.Why would it even want to. Providing it was not being too much of a nuisance to Canada or Mexico.
America needs to self destruct. and reform out of the ashes.
Perhaps with the advice and leadership of China to lend a hand.
After all they will probably own the place by then.
It seems we are presently headed in that direction.
Hopefully I'll be dead by then if it does.

The only question is: What took so long?

I'm still surprised the Supreme Court didn't kill it. It's so draconian and tyranny people in another state can even sue the Uber driver if the passenger went to get an abortion. And if the defendant wins there are legal prohibitions on recovering legal fees.
There is so much wrong with this bull the current Supreme Court should be ashamed.
The court system plods along. It’s not really designed to move quickly.
The Supreme Court will address (and likely overturn) the Texas law when the issue is properly before the Court. There’s a process to be followed.
In my experience with courts, the question is....
How did it happen so fast?
I don't know.
I'd expect them to have weighed in against the law too.
But they do have a bunch'o arcane procedures. It might
or might not be conservative sympathizers for the law.

With the court make-up as it is, I frankly don't know what to expect.
What shocked me with the SCOTUS decision on this is that, instead of keeping the status quo until a full hearing could be done, it made a radical decision that's affecting so many people in a very serious and "out of the blue" way. Why would they do that?
Unless the Court already knows how it will likely decide.

It almost sounds as if you are saying that they will overturn Roe v. Wade. The only way that they can "turn it over to the states" would be to reverse that ruling.
