Dallas News: Gov. Abbott signs near-complete ban on abortion in Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott signed legislation Wednesday that abortion opponents call a milestone measure to protect life, while others decry it as one of the most extreme restrictions in the nation and vow to fight it in court.
This bill doesn’t even offer an exemption for rape or incest. It “sets a ban on abortion the moment a fetal heartbeat is detected, which is as early as six weeks, before many are aware of their pregnancy.”
