In a particular twist of legal cruelty, Texas state officials technically do not enforce the law. Instead, SB8 deputizes individual civilians, allowing them to sue anyone who “aids and abets” an abortion procedure after six weeks — effectively creating a vigilante network of anti-abortion crusaders.

Texas abortion clinics ask SCOTUS to block law allowing citizens to sue over procedureThe law bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected and allows citizens to sue anyone who aids someone else in getting an abortion. British researchers analyzed scans of the hearts of healthy fetuses in the womb and found that the heart has four clearly defined chambers in the eighth week of pregnancy, but does not have fully organized muscle tissue until the 20th week. 'Heartbeat' at 20 weeks, not 6 weeks.

Supreme Court asked to block Texas' six-week abortion banGroup of abortion-rights advocates and providers file emergency request with the Supreme Court asking the justices to block implementation of a new Texas law that bans procedures as early as 6 weeks. I'm guessing that this 'law' is 100% illegal. Whether you are for or against abortion it is currently legal in all 50 states without a 6-week ban (correct me if I'm wrong) . FYI, I'm pro life but I obey our laws. When killing unborn babies what's the proper time frame? What next? A ban on contraception? These fools really want to get in a good spot in the line for The Rapture I guess!

Florida is next. 🙁🙁🙁 End government sponsored/funded abortion. The U.S. government exists to protect and serve the American people—including those who have not yet exited the womb.
