Texas Governor Signs Bill Banning Abortions After Heartbeat Detected

by | May 19, 2021 | Abortion, News, Politics, Social-Issues | 0 comments

LIFENEWS — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has signed a bill to ban abortions once an unborn baby’s heart begins beating.

The Texas Heartbeat Act will abolish elective abortions as early as six weeks, when the preborn child’s heartbeat is detectable using methods according to standard medical practice. The policy would take effect on September 1, 2021.

Abbot said the bill, “… ensures that the life of every unborn child who has a heartbeat will be saved from the ravages of abortion.”

In an interview with KXXV 25 News, Abbott recently said he supports the bill because he wants to make life better for every person in Texas, including children in the womb.

“We’re addressing every issue in the entire state that will make lives better for everybody, including innocent, unborn children,” the governor said. “What this bill seeks to do is once a heartbeat is detected in a mother’s womb, at that time it would be inappropriate to take the life of that baby. Texas has taken a position that innocent life is so important.”

Texas Right to Life thanked Governor Abbott for signing the bill.
