The Supreme Court has allowed a Texas law banning most abortions to remain in effect, marking a turning point for abortion opponents. The Texas law bans abortions at the “first detectable heartbeat,” terminology some medical experts say is inaccurate.

found that while four clearly defined chambers appear in the human heart from the eighth week of pregnancy, they remain “a disorganized jumble of tissue” until around the 20th week, much later than previously believed.The notion that abortion as early as six weeks into pregnancy “stops a beating heart” is a concept originated by Ohio activist Janet Folger Porter, one of the nation’s fiercest advocates for banning the procedure.

She’s a polarizing figure, even among Republicans, due to her lobbying stunts and other controversial actions she’s exercised over the years. Notably, she arranged “testimony” via ultrasound by an in utero fetus.

An appalling attack on women that will prove a death sentence for many. Policed by Stasi style denouncements and vigilanteism makes this an utter abuse of freedom & human rights. Shameful

In other words, one more law based on a lie.

Finally, one of our states got something right... at least partially

GOP-led states see Texas law as model to restrict abortionsSIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Republican states that have passed increasingly tough abortion restrictions only to see them blocked by the federal courts have a new template in an unusually written Texas law that represents the most far-reaching curb on abortions in nearly half a century. This is a ridiculous law where a person without standing, which in any other legal situation would be dismissed by courts is being given protection by immoral judges in supreme court. Biden needs to dismiss all justices and close down court. Nothing in law that prohibits him. Operation Blitz. This is part of its long game, right? morgfair Now 12 states want to have Texas Laws on Women. Bounties on our heads. We have to do something now.

Analysis: Texas abortion ban injects new urgency into U.S. election campaignsAfter the U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal to block a near-total ban on abortions by Texas, alarmed Democratic candidates and abortion rights advocates had a single, urgent message for voters on Thursday: Abortion rights are on the ballot. Reproductive Rights need to be written into the Constitution. If not, forget it. It will eventually be banned again. ...Can't win em all, logically. The politicians on the Women's Rights side aren't actually fighting for a REAL Right, just donor money and an election win. Well duh. The Republican and Conservatives are trying to create a National Populist Party that will resemble the 1930s Germany National Populist Party!

New Texas abortion law pushes women to out-of-state clinicsClinics and aid organizations are expanding a network that helps women in Texas and other places with restrictive abortion laws travel to other states to end their pregnancies. What woman enjoys needing an abortion? Every single person in this photo knows or has met a woman who needed an abortion. These are the same selfish people who probably are anti vaxxers. Pro life?
