The Texas House of Representatives has passed a law that would ban abortion after 6 weeks of pregnancy. This is before some people even know they're pregnant. According to the ACLU, Texas bans abortion after 20 weeks of gestation. Bringing this down to 6 weeks is insane. The bill says that it would allow civil action to be taken against the person who aids or preforms the abortion. This could force doctors and nurses to turn people in need away in fear of legal action. The Heartbeat Bill is unjust and takes away the rights of every single person who can conceive.
