The Fifth Circuit just created a national emergency exception to Roe v. Wide. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XzzNfOH2RghKkxHh1n93QOqvqBFlQ4OC/view https://twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1244737466352963593
No punches pulled in Dennis' dissent.
Even for Duncan and Elrod, this opinion is remarkably disingenuous. It pretends that a 1905 decision about mandatory vaccinations governs this case, rather than nearly 50 years of abortion precedent. Just so brazenly dishonest.

Good on Judge Dennis. The Fifth Circuit has refused to follow abortion precedent since Kennedy retired, and it's not hard to guess why. These judges will defy any precedent that compels them to protect abortion access. https://twitter.com/ReichlinMelnick/status/1247618790029918208
Welcome to the Trump Judge world, where pandemics don't justify postponing an election, but do justify abortion bans.
Make yourself comfortable, because Trump judges will be ruling over us for the next half-century.

Trump Judge Kyle Duncan, the author of today's abortion decision, is also famous for denying a trans woman's request to be addressed as a woman. Only read his cruel and snide decision if you have a strong stomach. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/01/the-trump-bench-kyle-duncan-the-fifth-circuit.html
If you don't like Rule by Trump Judges, there is just one option: expand the Supreme Court. There is no other way to make these bigoted, malicious, partisan jurists follow the law. We can either reform SCOTUS or resign ourselves to permanent injustice. Take your pick.
