The Supreme Court refuses to block Texas’ new abortion law, which is a shame, not sure what else can be done.
The law, Senate Bill 8, bars abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which is usually around six weeks into a pregnancy. It has been described as the most restrictive abortion law in the nation, according to the New York Times. On Thursday, the Supreme Court denied an emergency request by abortion providers to block the legislation, which took effect Wednesday.
