Texas abortion law favors pedophiles

To the Editor:

The Supreme Court has allowed the Texas pro-pedophile law to stand for now. Texas Senate Bill 8 encourages pedophiles that have impregnated minors to prevent their victims from terminating their pregnancies through harassment, intimidation and lawsuits. The law supports these vile people with a financial incentive of $10,000 in the process. However, it seems to me it is much more likely that pedophiles will just threaten their young victims not to reveal details of his crime, or risk prosecution of their own. The law, with the Supreme Court's shoulder shrug, promotes blackmail pure and simple.

To be clear here, the justices of the Supreme Court know full well how evil people use the established systems to advance their intent. The majority of the court dismissed the obvious assault on justice for the sole purpose of suppressing the political issue of abortion and turned a deaf ear to the horrific screams of women abused by men and juveniles raped by pedophiles.

In fact, the court will allow these women and children to be abused for months or years at the hands of men before they will address their concerns with a review of the menacing Texas pro-pedophile law. Yes, our government has launched wars on topics like drugs and terrorism, but the Supreme Court has truly launched a civil war against women, forcing them to fend off the Texas long horn alone with no help from the court, for now.
