Kn1GHT_AX Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 Billie Eilish has spoken out about Texas’ restrictive new abortion laws, saying “I really wish men cared more”. The new legislation, Senate Bill 8, prohibits the abortion of a foetus once cardiac activity can be detected, which is generally around six weeks, before most women even know they are pregnant. It makes no exception for victims of rape or incest, and authorises citizens to sue abortion providers or anyone involved in facilitating an abortion. The US Supreme Court refused to block the bill before its enactment last Wednesday (September 1), which, according to the New York Times, now makes Texas the most restrictive US state in terms of access to abortion services.
