BREAKING: Texas poised to ban most abortions as court denies emergency motion

Jack xxxxxx, As of today, Texas is poised to become the first state in decades to ban most abortions, thanks to a law passed by Republicans in the state legislature, and signed by Gov. Greg Abbott. SB8 effectively puts a $10,000 “bounty” on the head of abortion providers …
