What does it mean to ban abortion at six weeks?

S.B. 8 -- and similar bans in other states -- make it illegal for someone to get an abortion if they are more than six weeks pregnant.

Many people will not know they are pregnant by six weeks. Even those who do would have an extremely narrow window of time to comply with this cruel law. A person would need to quickly consider their options: consult with a doctor and other trusted people in their life, find a provider, schedule an appointment, receive a state-mandated in-person “counseling” session, and get an abortion -- all in just a couple of weeks. For most people, S.B. 8 is a complete and total ban on abortion.

We’ll keep you informed in the days and weeks ahead as this situation unfolds in the courts and on the ground in Texas. Thank you, as always, for standing with patients.
