Give them an inch and they'll take ALL of a woman's reproductive rights away from her. Texas pushes "fetal heartbeat" bill which would effectively ban abortions at six weeks.

With the ink barely dry on Texas’ sweeping new abortion law, three Republican members of the state House on Thursday filed a so-called “fetal heartbeat” ban, a measure that would criminalize abortion as early as six weeks, before most women even know they’re pregnant. 

North Dakota is the only state to ban abortion at six weeks, though the law is currently being challenged by reproductive rights groups. 

There has been no official comment on the measure as of this posting, though it will undoubtedly face harsh criticism and fierce opposition from the thousands of Texans rallying against the Republican-controlled Legislature’s efforts to eliminate access to safe abortion care in the state.

Anybody who did NOT see this coming is an idiot.

The goal of these short sighted misogynists is to ban abortions completely, limit a woman's options by tying them to her reproductive cycle, and eventually take women out of the work force entirely and put them permanently back into the home "where they belong."

Every woman, and not simply those living in Texas, need to rally together and fight this while they still have rights left to fight for.
