Pro-Life Victory as Texas Governor Signs Bill to Ban Abortions When an Unborn Baby’s Heartbeat Begins into Law


 

“The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, has officially signed the Heartbeat bill into law. With this bill abortions will be prohibited after the heartbeat of a unborn child is detected.

"When the Texas Heartbeat Act takes effect on September 1, all elective abortions after the preborn child’s heartbeat is detectable will be prohibited. A preborn child’s heartbeat can be detected using methods according to the standard medical practice as early as six weeks’ gestation. This measure will save thousands of lives and is a vital step in the road to abolishing all abortions in Texas.” (Source: https://www.texasrighttolife.com/governor-abbott-signs-heartbeat-act/)

The bill was also sponsored by state Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, the bill would require abortionists to check for an unborn baby’s heartbeat and prohibit the abortion if it is detected. It would create criminal penalties for abortionists who violate the measure.(Life News excerpt)

A number of states have passed heartbeat laws in recent years, but all have been banned from enforcing them due to legal challenges by abortion activist groups. States with heartbeat laws include Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio and Tennessee. South Carolina also passed a heartbeat law in February. (Life News excerpt)

In 1973, the Supreme Court took away the states’ ability to protect unborn babies from abortion under Roe v. Wade, and instead forced states to legalize abortion on demand. Roe made the United States one of only seven countries in the world that allows elective abortions after 20 weeks.(Life News excerpt)
