Today, the Texas Heartbeat Act makes history as it takes effect in what many consider the nation’s strongest pro-life legislation.  The Texas Heartbeat Act is the first-ever law of its type to go into effect.  Starting today, babies and mothers will be spared from abortion in Texas when a baby’s heartbeat is detected.  The Texas Heartbeat Act (S.B. 8) will prohibit abortions in Texas after the detection of the unborn child’s heartbeat, which is currently 6 weeks gestation, although it can be detected as early as 5 weeks gestation.   

At 10:30 today, we had an onsite Facebook Livestream from the Texas Capitol with other pro-life leaders.

Jonathan Saenz, President and Attorney at Texas Values released the following statement: 

“Today is historic for law and life.  The Texas Heartbeat Act is the first-ever law of its type to go into effect.  Starting today, babies and mothers will be spared from abortion in Texas when a baby’s heartbeat is detected.  God bless Texas and courageous leaders like Sen. Bryan Hughes, Rep. Shelby Slawson, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Gov. Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton and his team, numerous leaders in the Texas Senate and House, and thousands of pro-life supporters for making this day possible.”

A heartbeat is a universal indicator of life and a key medical indicator that a preborn baby will reach live birth. The Act requires abortionists to check for a baby’s heartbeat and inform the mother if the presence of a heartbeat is detected. According to state statistics, nearly 85% of the 54,000 abortions happen before 8 weeks gestation.
