Texas’ governor has signed a law that bans abortions as early as six weeks, with the cut-off point being the detection of a fetal heartbeat and no exceptions being made for those who are victims of rape or abuse.
The unique law, signed by Greg Abbott on Wednesday, prohibits state officials from enforcing the ban but allows anyone else to sue a medical provider if they suspect them to be in violation of the rule.
“Our creator endowed us with the right to life and yet millions of children lose their right to life every year because of abortion,” Mr Abbott said, according to CNN.

The only reason red states are passing these laws is to get them to SCOTUS and think that Roe v Wade gets overturned.
I don't get this though. Abortion being illegal again WILL NOT STOP ABORTIONS! It will make them unsafe - especially for poor women.
These abortion bans are literally nothing more than basically men trying to control women.
Under his eye...that's what we'll be saying sooner than later. FFS.
