SCOTUS ruling leads to new legal questions in Texas

Will Texans be able to get abortion pills?

• Under Texas law, it's illegal for anyone to mail abortion pills or any other medication that could be used to end a pregnancy.
• Yes, but: Legal experts say it would be difficult for Texas prosecutors to enforce state law on groups that operate outside of Texas.

Will the Supreme Court reconsider rulings on same-sex marriage and contraception?

• In a concurring opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, Justice Clarence Thomas said the Supreme Court should reconsider opinions protecting same-sex relationships, marriage equality and access to contraceptives.

How will the Roe ruling affect November's election?

• The latest Quinnipiac University poll showed that Gov. Greg Abbott's 15-point lead over Beto O'Rourke had shrunk to 5 points — and that was before the court's ruling, which could ignite Democratic turnout.

How will abortion laws affect immigration?

• If state law dictates that life begins at conception, perhaps a pregnant immigrant entering the U.S. is now carrying an American citizen.
