'Extremist politicians are on a crusade to force Texans into pregnancy and childbirth against their will, no matter how devastating the consequences.'
"Extremist politicians are on a crusade to force Texans into pregnancy and childbirth against their will, no matter how devastating the consequences."The conservative-dominated Texas Supreme Court late Friday allowed a nearly century-old abortion ban to take effect, blocking a lower court order that had temporarily allowed the state's clinics to continue offering the procedure without the threat of legal retribution and financial penalties.
"This law has already forced countless people to carry pregnancies against their will. Abortion is our right—no matter what the courts say." "The Texas Supreme Court blocked our injunction, allowing a total abortion ban originally passed in 1925 to be enforced," the ACLU said late Friday."This law has already forced countless people to carry pregnancies against their will. Abortion is our right—no matter what the courts say.
Julia Kaye, staff attorney with the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project, warned Friday that"extremist politicians are on a crusade to force Texans into pregnancy and childbirth against their will, no matter how devastating the consequences." "We won't stop fighting to ensure that as many people as possible, for as long as possible, can access the essential reproductive healthcare they need," said Kaye.
