America’s ‘Heartbeat Bill’: Banning Abortions at 6 Weeks
On September 1, 2021, a ‘heartbeat bill’ – a pro-life law that bans abortions after 6 weeks of pregnancy will go into effect in Texas, the second-most populous state in the United States with a population of approximately 30 million. For the 15 million women residing in Texas, this means that they can only get an abortion before fetal heartbeat can be detected at 6 weeks, even if the pregnancy occurred as a result of rape or incest.
