Abortion Bans Take Effect
June 28, 2022
FROM Lifesite News:
Abortion is now virtually illegal or sharply restricted in at least 10 states, most of which have implemented what are known as “trigger” laws designed to take effect immediately upon the reversal of Roe v. Wade and criminalize abortion throughout pregnancy.
The newly-enforceable bans are a devastating blow to the abortion industry: Since Friday morning, clinics have ceased abortions in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, South Dakota, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Abortions initially stopped in Utah and Louisiana but have resumed this week due to recent court orders.
More than 100,000 abortions took place in those states in 2019, according to CDC data.
In Texas and Alabama, those performing an abortion can face felony charges equivalent to rape or attempted murder and in Louisiana, anyone aborting the child of a minor may face up to 50 years in prison.
So much selfless effort by anti-abortion activists for many years has truly paid off. They will save many lives.
