The Texas Republican Party website Texasgop.org is back up after being hacked on Saturday. The site was shut down over the weekend by activists protesting Texas Heartbeat Act, according to a statement on the site.
Prior to the site being shut down, hackers put the words Planned Parenthood at the top of the websites homepage among other pointed statements in an attempt to insult the organization and Texas GOP politicians. One of them said: Ted Cruz is the Zodiac killer, an Internet meme that began during the 2016 election cycle.
The Heartbeat Act, supported overwhelmingly by Republican lawmakers, allows citizens to sue anyone who aids or abets an abortion after fetal cardiac activity is detected. That can occur at around six weeks into a pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant.
After the law, also known as SB 8, went into effect on Sept. 1, Texas Right to Life created an anonymous abortion reporting system. The site prolifewhistleblower.com was removed by website hosts due to social pressure online. The site is still not up, Texas Right to Life has not revealed when it will be relaunched.
