Behind the Texas Heartbeat Act—a legal labyrinth that has confounded some of the legal profession’s most seasoned minds—is a publicity-shy law professor working pro bono

Behind a Texas law that has confounded legal scholars and given abortion opponents hope is a publicity-shy, 45-year-old West Coast litigator known for his command of abstruse legal theory.

has survived a brush with the Supreme Court and made Texas the most restrictive in the nation for abortion access, thanks largely to its unusual enforcement scheme. The law puts ordinary Texans—not any government official—in charge of enforcing a prohibition on performing or aiding abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, making it more difficult to challenge in court.

You choose to destroy a human life. And all that need be said. You cannot ease your conscience with such emotional laden terms as “my body.” In no other arena does society permit an individual to impose death unwillingly upon another.

This law could be repurposed to target the spies. This could go on for years.....

Amazing Cow...Oops...Thats 'How' woman who have a better chance of being impregnated by immaculate conception care so vehemently about abortion.....Go Figure

The evangelical dog finally caught the car. This will backfire spectacularly.

Shouldn’t they be wearing Handmaids Tale outfits? Are those out of style already?

Are they body positive activists?

Seems like something is wrong with their health.

With all due respect all these in the pic look lesbian to me so tf they care about abortion anyway?🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Every Life Matters!

The fetus with a heartbeat of the women in this picture would have ended up flushed into waste treatment or in landfills. They should all thank God their mothers did not have their abhorrent value of human life and execute them in their womb. Their moms gave them birth and life

From the look of the “women” in the photo, they don’t have a problem with anyone getting them pregnant!!

All of the Justices on the Supreme Court during Roe v. Wade were MEN!!! Women did not even get to decide if it was legal. Jane Roe gave birth. Men continue to cover up their crimes and hatred of women.

Sick and dying children? Eh. As of yesterday, Texans can carry guns with no permit or training and A Woman's constitutional right to choose what medical procedures can occur with their bodies have been invalidated and Texans can now spy on other texans and sue them to earn money.

Women wearing shirts that say “hands off our bodies” ironically, those women never have to worry about a hand on their body.

WOMEN Need to pass a Woman’s Heartbeats Law SO THAT AS LONG AS A WOMAN HAS A HEARTBEAT NO ONE CAN TELL HER WHAT TO DO WITH HER OWN BODY!!!

it's a much needed ruling that PROTECTS THE BABY!!

Question for attorneys: Why is this not a violation of HIPAA laws?

Abortion should be illegal unless it threatenes the life of the mother.

Pictured are women who are to disgusting to mate with.
