Supreme Court Protects Babies With Heartbeats By Allowing Texas’ Six-Week Abortion Ban


A Texas state law took effect early on Wednesday after the U.S. Supreme Court did not act on an emergency petition brought by abortion facilities and activists to block it, meaning private citizens can sue abortion providers who perform the deadly operation after six weeks of pregnancy.


The Texas law had been set to go into effect on Sept. 1 and protects children with detectable heartbeats, which typically occurs six to eight weeks into a pregnancy. The high court’s inaction occurs as the justices prepare to hear a direct challenge to the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision later this year.


The law, signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in May, gives citizens authority to file civil suits against those who carry out abortions after six weeks, with those found guilty forced to pay $10,000 to the plaintiff. According to NBC News, abortion facilities in Texas had already begun turning away pregnant women for September appointments as they prepared for the new law to take effect.


“Since mid-August, all 11 of the Planned Parenthood health centers in Texas that provide abortion services have stopped scheduling visits after Sept. 1 for abortions past six weeks of pregnancy,” NBC reported. “The vast majority of people who obtain an abortion in Texas are at least six weeks pregnant.”.....snip~

Another defeat for the leftness. They're racking up the losses.

You can take the abortion pill until the 12th week of pregnancy. That will become the method of choice for up to 12 weeks. That would also have been easier to sell to the public. Some of these fat girls could swallow a watermelon and they wouldn't notice, never mind just being 6 weeks pregnant.

Planned Parenthood has to tread softly on potato chips. So there is quite a bit of good coming from it.
