From ABC News: The Texas law, signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in May, prohibits abortions once medical professionals can detect cardiac activity, usually around six weeks and before most women know they’re pregnant. {Rape and incest victims should be reporting the crime and be examined before this deadline.}
It’s part of a broader push by Republicans across the country to impose new restrictions on abortion. At least 12 other states have enacted bans early in pregnancy, but all have been blocked from going into effect.
What makes the Texas law different is its unusual enforcement scheme. Rather than have officials responsible for enforcing the law, private citizens are authorized to sue abortion providers and anyone involved in facilitating abortions. Among other situations, that would include anyone who drives a woman to a clinic to get an abortion. Under the law, anyone who successfully sues another person would be entitled to at least $10,000.
“Starting today, every unborn child with a heartbeat will be protected from the ravages of abortion," Abbott said in a statement posted on Twitter. “Texas will always defend the right to life.”
Seems like your lies are unraveling, BCD. Texas never banned abortions. And they sure as hell aren’t considering banning ones that are the result of rape or incest.
So maybe you should ‘keep your head down, keep being a tool of the extreme left, spewing your anti-American hate and racism for the DemoKKKrats. In all the debates you and I have had on this site, you have never once used an original thought to defend the left or to attack the right. It’s always regurgitation from CNN or NBC or some other leftist “news” source. You’re just a puppet that is here for me to humiliate, embarrass and kick around.’
Try again, smoothie.
