Nation's Most Restrictive Abortion Law Back In Texas Court

The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit to prevent the enforcement of a Texas law signed by Governor Greg Abbott. This law bans abortions once a heartbeat is detected, typically around six weeks, which is often before women know they are pregnant. Critics argue that the law could lead to the closure of clinics and force women to travel to other states for services.
