European Parliament Votes to Condemn Texas Abortion Ban
[link removed]
Joining international condemnation of Texas's extreme abortion
ban, earlier this month the European Parliament adopted an urgency
resolution condemning the law, S.B. 8. The resolution widely denounces
the Texas law, claiming that it "de facto amounts to a total ban
on abortion," particularly due to its lack of exception in cases
of "rape, incest, or fetal health conditions incompatible with
sustained life after birth."
It is a strong statement regarding human rights protections for
abortion access, and we applaud the European Parliament for taking
action to condemn this extreme ban as we continue litigating to strike
it down.
