Four more Republican-led states will ban almost all abortions this week
as yet another slate of laws severely limiting the procedure takes effect following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Texas, the country's second-largest state, has banned most abortions once fetal cardiac activity has been detected, which can be as early as six weeks into pregnancy, before many women know they’re pregnant. The ban has been in place for almost a year, since courts refused to stop the law last September.
Texas argued that the federal guidance would have required hospitals to provide abortions before the mother’s life is clearly at risk, which would have violated the state’s trigger law. Continuing to operate after the high court's abortion ruling has been at times a"painful" experience, said Melissa Grant, chief operations officer of carafem, which has had a Nashville clinic since 2019.
“These decisions are very difficult,” Grant said. “You can only see a finite number of people before you have to stop.”
