Conservative Texas Lawyer Targets PrEP Access After Abortion Rights
With the Supreme Court overturning on Roe v. Wade last month, the architect of the Texas abortion law has already aimed at marriage equality, and his next target could leave Texans without access to lifesaving preventive care.Jonathan Mitchell, the former solicitor general who helped write Senate Bill 8, the restrictive abortion law, opened a private law firm in Texas in 2018 to go after decades of the High Court's rulings, according to The Dallas Morning News.Since the beginning of his career, Mitchell has been vocal about his desire to dismantle decades of decisions he believes depart from the Constitution’s language or recognize constitutional rights that do not have a textual foundation.
