Nicolle Wallace blasts ‘gender apartheid’ in Texas after ‘medieval’ bill blessed by Supreme Court
MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace slammed an anti-abortion law passed by Texas Republicans after the United States Supreme Court refused to block the law in a decision released overnight.
Wallace said "everything has changed" after the court decision.
"The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, for all intents and purposes has green lit the reversal of Roe v. Wade, not just in Texas, but potentially all across this country," Wallace reported. "In refusing the block the draconian, near-complete ban in Texas, the Supreme Court has signaled its approval for what is the most restrictive abortion law in the country."
Wallace put the Texas law in context as part of a larger effort to restrict women's rights in red states.
"The court's decision last night is part of a larger battle playing out all across the country right now. If you didn't already know, now you do. 97 laws restricting abortion have been passed in 19 states since January of this year in what is the biggest wave of abortion restrictions since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973," Wallace noted.
The host described the law as "medieval state of affairs" and said "it feels like gender apartheid on the medical front for women."
