Texas is one of several states with trigger laws and will soon ban all abortions from the moment of fertilization, with narrow exceptions to save the life of the pregnant mother.
DALLAS, Texas -- The heated battle over reproductive rights continues, as Democratic lawmakers joined pro-abortion advocates Sunday morning to announce the five strategies they proposed to the Biden administration to help preserve in-state abortion care. This comes after House Democrats passed two congressional bills designed to fight the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Texas is one of several states with trigger laws and it will soon ban all abortions from the moment of fertilization, with narrow exceptions to save the life of the pregnant mother. On Monday, the White House sent a letter to hospitals nationwide, reminding doctors that they are protected by federal law to terminate a pregnancy as part of emergency treatment.
All of the back and forth has been confusing for medical providers and abortion patients. That's why Democratic Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher from Houston says she wrote one of the two bills that passed the House Friday. The"Ensuring Women's Rights to Reproductive Freedom Act" would protect women crossing state lines to get a legal abortion.
