New Texas anti-abortion law detonates the United States: pregnant women are prohibited from having abortions after 6 weeks of pregnancy-the United States

The state of Texas has implemented the nation’s most stringent anti-abortion law since Wednesday local time. The law prohibits pregnant women from having an abortion after 6 weeks of pregnancy, and pregnancy due to rape or incest is no exception, and even set up a “rewarded prosecution system” to encourage strangers to report and prosecute each other.Related rights organizations asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block the law, but it was rejected.

This is a victory for conservatives who have long sought to put an end to abortion, but it has aroused strong criticism from Democrats. Some US media analysts believe that the implementation of the bill shows the serious right-leaning pattern of the US Supreme Court.

Reuters reported on the 2nd that the heart sounds of the fetus can usually be detected from the 6th week of pregnancy. The governor of Texas and Republican Abbott signed this law in May this year, requiring that once a baby’s heart sound is detected, an abortion is an abortion. It is illegal, so the law is also known as the “Texas Heartbeat Act.” Given that 85% to 90% of abortions occur after 6 weeks of pregnancy, the law is almost equivalent to a total ban on abortion. Local demonstrations have broken out to protest the entry into force of the bill.

National Public Radio reported that after the implementation of the law, people who successfully prosecute those who help perform abortions-including doctors, nurses, and even drivers who drive pregnant women to abortion-will be rewarded with at least $10,000. In order to facilitate the public to report to each other, the “Texas Right to Life” organization has established a special website. The head of the organization, Seago, said, “This is not for women, but for people who profit from abortion.” US President Biden said. Texas has expressed anger when implementing this law, condemning it for “flagrant violation” of the constitutional rights established in the previous case, but the report said that the White House was also helpless.

Former U.S. President Trump consolidated the conservative majority in the Supreme Court during his tenure. At present, the ratio of conservatives to liberals among the nine justices has become 6:3. With the acquiescence of the Supreme Court, other conservative states may follow the example of Texas.
