Texas Abortion Law: A Deep Dive

This chapter examines Texas's stringent abortion law, which bans abortions after six weeks without exceptions for incest or rape, and its implications for Roe v. Wade. Highlighting the law's enforcement mechanism that empowers private citizens to sue, the discussion raises constitutional concerns and the impact on women's rights. The chapter also considers the national ripple effect and the challenges faced by pro-choice advocates amidst ongoing legal battles and potential congressional action.
