Texas Gov. Greg Abbot is expected to sign into law a bill that bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can occur as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.
Texas Senate Bill 8, also known as the Texas Heartbeat Act or “heartbeat bill” was passed in the state Senate 18-12 on Thursday, and awaits Abbott’s signature. The Republican governor has indicated that he will sign the bill on the same day.
6 weeks. Would you trade 10-30 million illegal immigrants for 50 million plus Americans?
Good. Should be banned as soon as the DNA of the mother and the DNA of the fetus don’t match and prove they are separate human beings.
Dittos.
That was the abortion bill we had here in Washington state, heartbeat or quickening, usually in three months or less. But then Roe vs. Wade happened and the Democrats ran with it all the way to partial birth abortions.
Good!!!!
We had a “heartbeat” bill here in SC. The Gov signed it. Almost immediately a judge issued a restraining order effectively stopping it. We wait for this to work its way through the courts.
Hope TX has better luck than SC.
