The Find Out PAC is working to frame the Texas Supreme Court race as a referendum on abortion and unseat three Republicans up for re-election.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, voters have chosen to preserve access to abortion in every state where the issue has been on the ballot.Measures to protect access to abortion are set to go before voters in nine states this November. But in Texas, which has one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the nation, there's no such option.
In a statement provided to Newsweek, Blacklock said the court 'works hard in every case to understand Texas law as it is—not as we might like it to be—and to apply Texas law fairly and equally to all parties before the Court. We also work hard to preserve the authority of the People of Texas to decide through democratic processes what their laws will be. The political power to make the law and to change the law belongs to the People of Texas, not to the judges of Texas.
