Texas just joined the new wave of extreme abortion bans passed this
year across the United States, passing a ban on abortion at just six
weeks of pregnancy.

Team-
Texas lawmakers just passed an outrageous, draconian law that is out
of touch with the real needs of Texans. The law would ban abortion as
early as six weeks of pregnancy, before many people even know they're
pregnant.
That's not all. The bill also allows anyone-from local
anti-abortion protestors to out-of-state lobbying groups-to sue
Texans for providing abortion care or helping others access abortion,
including:
* Abortion funds providing financial assistance to patients.
* Any clinic employees, including front desk staff.
* Even someone who drives a friend or loved one to their
appointment.
This bill opens the floodgates to allow anyone who is hostile to
abortion to sue doctors and clinics, consuming their resources and
forcing them to shut down.
We will pursue all legal options to prevent this law from taking
effect.

If you're as outraged as I am right now, I hope you'll make an
emergency contribution to fight back against attacks to our
reproductive rights. Every dollar counts when the stakes are this
high.

Eight states have enacted abortion bans as early as six weeks of
pregnancy and every single one of those laws has been blocked in
court. Despite these laws being continuously struck down, Texas is
just one of more than a dozen states to introduce laws like this one
this year.
In fact, Texas has joined the new wave of extreme abortion bans
sweeping across the U.S. So far, more than 536 new abortion
restrictions have been introduced in state legislatures this year. Of
those, 61 have been enacted, putting 2021 on track to be the most
damaging state legislative session for abortion in decades.
