US Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday released a statement on Texas’ new “heartbeat” abortion law. This from thegatewaypundit.com.
The “heartbeat” law will effectively outlaw abortions in the state after 6 weeks and also gives any citizen–including those outside Texas–the right to take legal action against anyone who ‘aids and abets’ the termination of a pregnancy after the cut off point.
The Supreme Court refused to block Texas’ new abortion bill, but AG Garland vowed to use the might of the federal government to bully Texas.
“We will not tolerate violence against those seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services,” Garland said in a statement.
“The Department will provide support from federal law enforcement when an abortion clinic or reproductive health center is under attack,” he added.
“We will not tolerate violence against those seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services."

Hideous how the left calls seeking an abortion “seeking reproductive health services,” yes?
And what do “provide support” and “under attack” mean exactly?
Is this how CW2 begins? Someone in Texas is apprehended for performing an abortion outside the “heartbeat” window, the Feds respond, and so do one or more components of the Texas Military Forces.
Then, of course, this won’t be the end of this little tail-wag-the-dog scenario. The Feds will not be kowtowed, and to prove this they will raise the ante by sending into Texas an additional military package. And, certainly, one or more other Red states will perceive a need to support Texas’ right to enforce their heartbeat abortion law by likewise sending into Texas one or more packages of their own.
Then Blue state(s) will respond, etc., etc., etc. With asshats like Garland and Milley involved, things could quickly melt out of control.
However, I severely digressed. Concerning the “heartbeat” abortion law, God speed Texas.
