Democrats, Who Control the House, Senate, and Presidency, Still Not Sure If They Can Do Anything to Block Texas’ New Abortion Law

HOUSTON, TX – A new Texas law, deemed the Heartbeat Bill, prohibits abortions before many women know they’re pregnant, banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy and allowing private citizens to sue against abortion providers.

After the Supreme Court decided that Texas could carry out and enforce such a barbaric law, many looked to the Democratic party, who currently controls the House, Senate, and Presidency, to do something about the new law.

“People really want us to do something all of a sudden, but come on, this is about bipartisanship. I’d rather bend the knee to Republicans than put pressure on conservative Democrats to end the filibuster and expand the court,” said President Biden.
