Women's health providers and abortion activists are suing to stop a Texas law that encourages private citizens to enforce a six-week ban on the procedure from going into effect.
The legislation in question, S.B. 8, was passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature and signed into law by Governorin May. The bill bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat has been detected, effectively prohibiting the procedure after around six weeks of pregnancy—before many women are even aware they are pregnant.
"Our creator endowed us with the right to life, and yet millions of children lose their right to life every year because of abortion," Abbott said before signing the bill."In Texas, we work to save those lives, and that's exactly what the Texas Legislature did this session." An individual who is able to successfully sue an abortion provider, or anyone who"aids or abets" abortion care, can collect a minimum of $10,000. There is no apparent maximum reward.
Texas is like a whole different country.
wonder how fast Greg would push to repeal the law if people started to, en masse, report....oh say Cecilia Abbott (his wife), Audrey Abbott (his daughter), and Ted 'Cancun' Cruz, his wife, and his mistresses of getting one.....
wonder how fast Gavin would push to repeal the law if people started to, en masse, report....oh say Kimberly Guilfoyle (his ex-wife), his current wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, and Ted 'Cancun' Cruz, his wife, and his mistresses of getting one.....
Texas is a hell hole
