"SIX MONTHS" IN 1973 IS NOW EQUAL TO "SIX WEEKS" IN 2021
In 1973 Justice Blackmun's opinion in Roe v Wade struck down a Texas law banning abortions.
Roe essentially made abortions available for the 1st two trimesters of a pregnancy.

The Roe v Wade opinion gave states the right to ban abortions after the fetus was "viable".
In 1973, that was thought to be at the end of the 2nd trimester.
The decision was thought to allow for medical advancements in terms of a fetus being viable outside the womb.

The new Texas law outlaws abortions after a fetal heartbeat is recorded. That has NOTHING to do with viability.
Even worse, the law deputizes private citizens to file suit & collect a "bounty" of $10K for ratting out anyone facilitating an abortion after 6 weeks.

The SCOTUS just refused to ban the new Texas law from going into effect pending their hearing on the underlying case later this year.
That's a bad sign.
Six of the nine SC Justices were put on that court for the sole purpose of overturning Roe v Wade.
Watch out!

If the Texas statute is found to be Constitutional, the 6 MONTH period for getting an abortion will be reduced to 6 WEEKS.
That's ridiculous on so many levels.
And, that same model will quickly be adopted by 26 or 27 other states.

But, at least we know that all these Right-To-Lifers will be lined up waiting to adopt the infants that they are demanding be born.
YEAH RIGHT!
Right-to-life...right up til birth.
Don't you dare ask for any public assistance for that child...that's someone else's problem.
