Supreme Court Allows Extreme Texas Abortion Ban To Go Into Effect

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : And, as with most anti-abortion legislation, it will disproportionately affect Black and brown women.
41% : Texas' ban on abortion at six weeks will force the state's 7 million women of reproductive age to travel to neighboring states like Louisiana and Oklahoma for the procedure.
37% : S.B. 8 effectively bans abortion at six weeks, a time at which many people don't yet realize they're pregnant.
37% : As more and more states effectively ban abortion, pro-choice advocates fear the return of back-alley abortions.
36% : "It's not so much that people will have back-alley abortions and be bleeding out in the way that you hear horror stories pre-Roe, but that people will be interrogated by law enforcement, could be arrested and criminalized for the outcome of their pregnancies.
33% : The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed a restrictive Texas law to go into effect that criminalizes abortion at six weeks and deputizes citizens to enforce the ban.
