"Texas has advanced an omnibus anti-abortion bill that, among other things, lays the groundwork for criminalizing people who help women obtain abortion care.
Last week, the Texas Senate voted overwhelmingly in favor (22 to 9) to accept House amendments to SB8, the most stringent anti-choice bill to come out of the Lone Star state since 2013 (that year, Texas passed HB2, a notoriously restrictive abortion law that was later struck down by the Supreme Court in 2016). It is currently with Governor Greg Abbott (R), who is expected to sign it; pending approval, the law will take effect September 1.
The bill — one of 50 measures the Texas legislature is considering this session that would restrict reproductive health services — aims to severely impede abortion access in a number of ways. It would require the burial or cremation of embryonic and fetal tissue (a previous such attempt was blocked in federal court), prohibit the use of fetal tissue for research, and ban Dilation & Evacuation (D&E), a safe and medically approved method of abortion. The D&E ban does not include exemptions for persons who became pregnant through rape or incest.”*
