'This extreme Texas law blatantly violates the constitutional right established under Roe v. Wade,' President Biden said in a statement.
"This extreme Texas law blatantly violates the constitutional right established under Roe v. Wade and upheld as precedent for nearly half a century," Biden said in the statement."The Texas law will significantly impair women's access to the health care they need, particularly for communities of color and individuals with low incomes."
The new law bans providers from terminating pregnancies once a fetal heartbeat is detected—about six weeks of conception and a timeframe that opponents have argued many women are not aware that they are pregnant. The law paves the way for"private right of action," essentially a civil penalty rather than criminal punishment for those who conduct abortions beyond the restricted timeframe. It gives private citizens the ability to bring lawsuits with $10,000 or more in damages against providers or anyone else who helps facilitate an abortion that violates the law.
