AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Texas became the largest state Wednesday with a law that bans abortions before many women even know they are pregnant, but with a unique provision that essentially leaves enforcement to private citizens through lawsuits against doctors or anyone who helps a woman get an abortion.

The law signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott puts Texas in line with more than a dozen other states that ban abortions after the detection of a fetal heartbeat, as early as six weeks. Federal courts have mostly blocked the measures from taking effect.

But with the Supreme Court this week agreeing to take up a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, abortion rights activists worry that a ruling favorable to the state could lay the groundwork for allowing even more abortion restrictions, including so-called heartbeat bills.

Texas' version is unique in that it prohibits state officials from enforcing the ban. Instead, it allows anyone — even someone outside Texas — to sue an abortion provider or anyone else who may have helped someone get an abortion after the limit, and seek financial damages of up to $10,000 per defendant.

Critics say that provision would allow abortion opponents to flood the courts with lawsuits to harass doctors, patients, nurses, domestic violence counselors, a friend who drove a woman to a clinic, or even a parent who paid for a procedure.

Texas law currently bans abortion after 20 weeks, with exceptions for a woman with a life-threatening medical condition or if the fetus has a severe abnormality. More than 90% of abortions take place in the first 13 weeks of a woman's pregnancy, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Supreme Court will probably hear the Mississippi case in the fall, with a decision likely in spring 2022.

Some of my liberal relatives are
really miffed. None have had
abortions that I'm aware of.

The whole solution is simple enough,
like everything else.
You don't want to make a baby,
women get tied, men get snipped.
Fool proof solution that people hate
for whatever reason

Everybody involved in the abortion has rights except the one being aborted.

  Along the same lines;

  Since the government can demand proof of vaccination to fly or attend a ball game, why not make them show proof of "tied & snipped", mandatory for all long time welfare recipients ?

JMHO- there shouldn't be any babies born
on the taxpayers dime. They took away this
dopehead's baby across the way because
she was an unfit mother ( not her first time
either the way I understand it) so I don't
see anything different with taking an infant
away from some of these others around here.
I'm sure every region has the same types of
situations.  And mandatory testing for narcotics
and nicotine and alcohol when on the gubmint
teat.  Taxpayers shouldn't be financing someone
getting drunk or high or fueling their nicotine
addiction. If you have money for that stuff, you
can be paying bills and buying food
