Texas Trigger Law Will Make Abortion Illegal After Supreme Court's Landmark Reversal

Texas is one of the states with a trigger law in place. State legislators, anticipating the possibility that one day a conservative court may overturn the case, passed trigger law legislation last year during the 2021 legislative session.

The first sign that the court might be receptive to wiping away the constitutional right to abortion came in late summer when the justices divided 5-4 in allowing Texas to enforce a ban on the procedure at roughly six weeks, which is before some women even know they are pregnant. That dispute turned on the unique structure of the law, including its enforcement by private citizens rather than by state officials, and how it can be challenged in court.

One thing that will also stay in place in Texas is the recent bounty law allowing private citizens to sue anyone who helps someone get an abortion.Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a statement Friday morning, saying the Supreme Court correctly overturned Roe v Wade while touting the state's efforts to improve women's health programs.

Already, some doctors report they’re compromising care out of fear of violating the law. Texas may be a harbinger of what’s to come if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. The cruelty is the point ain't no 'if' about it you libby bushwhackers This is based on the premise that 'care' is abortion. That is fundamentally incorrect; being 'cared for' does not justify physical harm/killing another person.
