The Supreme Court has overturned Roe. What happens next in Texas? Listen to jerryquijano's conversation with NPR's Ashley Lopez:
Demonstrators rally outside the federal courthouse in downtown Austin on Friday after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed the constitutional right to an abortion.
NPR's Ashley Lopez has been covering abortion in Texas for KUT for many years. She joined All Things Considered to talk more about the response from abortion providers in the state, and what comes next for Texans in search of a safe abortion.KUT: What are the current abortion restrictions here in Texas and how will the state's trigger law make them even more extreme?
This will be a place where the procedure is pretty much inaccessible. So we're going from a very small window, six weeks, to an all-out ban once the trigger ban goes into effect. Well, I'm just going to draw from our attorney general, Ken Paxton. He sent an advisory out about this, and what he said was that a judgment hasn't come down yet. And the opinion of the attorney general of Texas, which actually holds a lot of weight, [says the trigger law goes into effect] 30 days from when a judgment [from the Supreme Court] comes down, which could happen in about a month or so. So that that will be when the clock will start on 30 days.
