Texas Now Has The Most Restrictive Abortion Law In The U.S. -- Here's What Could Happen Next

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : A state court did separately somewhat limit enforcement of SB 8 Tuesday by issuing a temporary restraining order that prohibits anti-abortion group Texas Right to Life and other defendants from taking legal action against the plaintiff who brought the case.
47% : SB 8 was signed into law in May and is part of a broader wave of anti-abortion restrictions enacted nationwide by GOP state lawmakers.
42% : The Supreme Court's inaction so far on SB 8 comes as the high court prepares to issue a major ruling on abortion next term when it considers a challenge to Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban.
39% : The Guttmacher Institute reports 90 abortion restrictions had already been enacted nationwide in 2021 as of July 1, and the Texas legislature has also taken multiple other steps against abortion this year, including moving to make abortion a felony if Roe v. Wade is overturned and restricting access to abortion-inducing medication.
35% : Texas law banning abortion as early as six weeks goes into effect as the U.S. Supreme Court takes no action (Texas Tribune)
