Texas Republicans just passed the most aggressive abortion law in the U.S.
Senate Bill 8 bans all abortions after six weeks -- before most people even realize they are pregnant -- and encourages any person to sue healthcare providers who perform an abortion after six weeks. That’s right -- Texas is creating bounty hunters to go after abortion providers.
SB 8 is one of the most toxic, anti-choice, dangerous pieces of legislation to target reproductive healthcare in the country. We won’t let this stand.
The effects of SB 8 are clear: Texas Republicans are both policing women’s healthcare and establishing the precedent that ordinary citizens should have the ability to decide their neighbor’s rights based on their own beliefs.
Abortion is legal. Abortion is healthcare. We won’t stand for any back-room midnight attempts to take away protected healthcare from millions of Texans who already struggle. We will be as loud as we have to.
