New Texas ‘fetal heartbeat’ bill would outlaw nearly all abortions | The Raw Story
Oh, heck. Just ban them all
Just hours after Texas Governor Rick Perry signed a controversial anti-abortion bill into law, Republicans in the state legislature introduced yet another bill intended to prevent a woman from obtaining an abortion.
The new legislation would ban most abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks into pregnancy.
“A person may not knowingly perform or induce or attempt to perform or induce an abortion on a pregnant woman with the specific intent of causing or abetting the termination of the life of the unborn child if it has been determined, in accordance with Section 171.103, that the unborn child has a detectable heartbeat,” the bill states.
The bill was introduced to the Texas House by state Rep. Phil King (R-Weatherford). King was a co-author of the bill signed into law on Thursday, which could close down all but five abortion clinics in the state.
I'm serious. They want to outlaw it, why don't they just outlaw it.
