Texas Abortion Law Goes Into Effect

The video discusses a new Texas law banning abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, typically around six weeks into pregnancy. The law lacks exceptions for rape or incest but allows for medical emergencies. It is enforced through private civil actions, enabling citizens to sue those assisting with abortions. This has led to immediate impacts on clinics and patients, with many appointments canceled. The Supreme Court has not blocked the law, possibly due to its unique enforcement mechanism. The law could force providers to stop offering abortions, significantly increasing travel distances for women seeking these services.
