In a graphic by journalist Morgan Reese, a newspaper reads: Texas heartbeat bill bans abortion after six weeks. On May 19, 2021, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 8, banning abortions after six weeks of gestation. Abortion is healthcare, Reese said. All women should have access to safe abortions and control of their medical decisions and bodies, as decided in Roe v. Wade. Senate Bill 8 only increases the likelihood of unsafe abortions, maternal fatalities and an increasingly overwhelmed foster system.
