her fellow Supreme Court justices for “opt[ing] to bury their heads in the sand” when confronted with a law that’s so “flagrantly” andTaken together, the Act is a breathtaking act of defiance—of the Constitution, of this Court’s precedents, and of the rights of women seeking abortions throughout Texas...
