Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signs bill limiting abortion-inducing pills

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) last week signed into law a bill that adds more restrictions and increases criminal penalties for the use of abortion-inducing medication, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Why it matters: The bill, which comes after Texas implemented one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the U.S., is being decried by abortion-rights groups as a "back-door ban," the Dallas Morning News writes.

Driving the news: The new bill, Senate Bill 4, prevents physicians or providers from giving out abortion-inducing drugs after seven weeks of pregnancy.

Additionally, the charge for "intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly" violating SB4 is a state jail felony, which carries fines of up to $10,000 and between 180 days and two years of imprisonment, per the Dallas Morning News.

But what can we do about this? He is closing every door to women. He is not pro life..he’s pro birth n what about the care of these born into this edict? Any formula, child care, mothers care? Where is that in his proclamation? White woman of means can find their way.. others cannot and what assurances for those who don’t fall in that cat? Will Texas care? This is just not right.
