Texas Legislature Bans Abortions as Early as 6 Weeks

Austin, TX - Today the Texas House of Representatives passed Senate Bill 8, which will ban abortions as early as 6-weeks and create a private cause of action that allows ANYONE to sue Texans for suspicion of violating the 6-week ban.

Texas Equal Access Fund Executive Director Kamyon Conner issued the following statement:

“It’s outright shameful that anti-abortion politicians in Texas are putting their own ideology and agenda before the health and well-being of Texans and their families. Banning abortion is the most blatant afront to Texans’ ability to make their own decisions about their futures, and on top of that, politicians also want to punish the organizations and providers who help Texans get care. These extremists are relentless, but we’re ready to fight so that we can continue helping each other, the way abortion funds always have.”
