Ken Paxton, Texas attorney general asked the U.S Supreme court to deny a legal challenge to state abortion restrictions. Monday, state attorneys claims that the lower courts made the right decision on rejecting a challenge to abortion restrictions. They also feel like the abortion providers who appealed to the higher courts had a request that covered too many subjects to go over and had little evidence proving that abortion restrictions are unconstitutional.
On the other side, attorneys for reproductive rights argues the restrictions are unconstitutional and creates a burden on women who have to travel many miles to get to the nearest abortion clinic. they make another argument that most of the abortion clinics that have "hospital-like" standards are in the major cities.
Paxton office continues to argue due to the fact that the abortion providers have no proof of their claims of it being a burden to most women or proof of it being unconstitutional. They also try  to convince the courts to follow through with the decision they made in the past which rejects the challenge. Paxtons audience for this article would be the people of the justices of the supreme court. Since the opponents are trying to defend their claim by saying the restriction of abortions are unconstitutional, Paxton uses a method by asking for proof of what the abortion providers claims is unconstitutional and a burden, which they don't have.
