Abortions back on?

-

Clinics across Texas face a tough decision over whether to resume abortions after a judge suspended a new law that had in effect banned the procedure.

The judge sided with the Biden administra­tion’s efforts to block the Texas law, known as Senate Bill 8, or SB 8.

The law was approved last month and upheld by the conservati­ve majority on the US Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote.

The Texas law bans terminatio­ns once activity in the embryo’s heart is detected, usually after six weeks.

Health experts say most women do not even know they are pregnant at that stage.
