3:16Now PlayingThe WNBA is starting a push to reverse the most restrictive abortion law coming out of the state of Texas. WNBA player and champion Dana Evans joined BNC’s “Start Your Day” to detail the importance of activism in sports and speaking out against the Texas abortion law.
“It’s important for us to speak out because we have a voice,” Evans said. “A lot of people watch our game, talk about our game, so for us to be able to speak up for those who don’t have a voice and can’t speak up for themselves, I think it’s good for us to do so.” The law bans most abortions after fetal cardiac activity is detected, which occurs around the sixth week of a pregnancy and before most women know they are pregnant. The ban is enforced by the public, who can bring lawsuits against anyone who aids, abets or preforms an abortion. Successful lawsuits can mean a $10,000 cash judgement for those who file them.
