Abortion is now illegal in Texas before many know they are pregnant

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : Not only does the law ban abortion before many know they are pregnant, tying it to the unscientific concept of a "fetal heartbeat," it also creates a sort of vigilante justice system in which average citizens can sue anyone they believe is "aiding and abetting" abortion procedures, including doctors, nurses, other staff at abortion clinics, or even someone who drives a patient to an abortion clinic.
46% : It's possible that the Supreme Court could still decide to block Texas' law from enforcement.
45% : Abortion providers and advocacy groups had filed an emergency application to block enforcement of the law, S.B. 8, saying that without action, the law "would immediately and catastrophically reduce abortion access in Texas, barring care for at least 85% of Texas abortion patients (those who are six weeks pregnant or greater) and likely forcing many abortion clinics ultimately to close."
44% : The Supreme Court was already scheduled to determine the fate of Roe in its next term, when it will hear a challenge to a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks gestation.
40% : , Roe says you can't ban abortion at 6 weeks.
37% : Reproductive rights experts wrote on Twitter that the decision by the Supreme Court to ignore the emergency application signals a grave threat to the constitutional right to abortion as we've known it since Roe was decided.
27% : Abortion in Texas is now illegal before many people even know they are pregnant after the Supreme Court refused to respond to request to halt enforcement of a law that bans abortion after roughly six weeks of gestation as it faces legal challenges.
