Thanks To The NRA Immigrants With Guns Are Invading Our Homes In Texas While Lazy Stupid Greg Abbott Plays With Himself

 Abbott signs Texas law banning abortions of colored children, plans to help 
them overtake white folks as the majority by 2028.

AUSTIN, Texas — Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday signed a law that 
bans abortions in Texas before many women even know they are pregnant and 
differs singularly from similar efforts nationwide: leaving enforcement to 
private citizens, who can sue doctors or anyone who helps a woman get an 
abortion.

The law puts Texas in line with more than a dozen other states that ban 
abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, possibly as early as six 
weeks. It would take effect in September, but federal courts have mostly 
blocked states from enforcing similar measures.

But with the U.S. Supreme Court this week agreeing to take up a Mississippi 
law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, abortion rights activists 
worry that a ruling favorable to the state could lay the groundwork for 
allowing even more restrictions, including so-called heartbeat bills.

“The life of every unborn child with a heartbeat will be saved from the 
ravages of abortion,” Abbott said in a bill signing at his office.

Texas’ version is unique in that it prohibits state officials from enforcing 
the ban. Instead, it allows anyone — even someone outside Texas — to sue an 
abortion provider or anyone else who may have helped someone get an abortion 
after the limit, and seek financial damages of up to $10,000 per defendant.

Critics say that provision would allow abortion opponents to flood the courts 
with lawsuits to harass doctors, patients, nurses, domestic violence 
counselors, a friend who drove a woman to a clinic, or even a parent who paid 
for a procedure.

Before the bill reached Abbott’s desk, abortion rights groups signaled they 
would challenge the law.

“The goal is clear: to relentlessly attack our reproductive rights until 
abortion is a right in name only. Passing these bills is not leadership, it 
is cruelty and extremism,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, president of Planned 
Parenthood Action Fund.

Advanced technology can detect an electric signal flutter as early as six 
weeks into a pregnancy, even though the embryo isn’t yet a fetus and doesn’t 
have a heart. An embryo is termed a fetus beginning in the 11th week of 
pregnancy, medical experts say.

Texas law currently bans abortion after 20 weeks, with exceptions for a woman 
with a life-threatening medical condition or if the fetus has a severe 
abnormality. More than 90% of abortions take place in the first 13 weeks of a 
woman’s pregnancy, according to the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention.
