The benchmark, known as viability, occurs around 24 weeks of pregnancy, but S.B. 8 prohibits abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy – a time measured from the first day of the woman’s last menstrual period and before many people realize that they are pregnant. To make it harder to challenge the law in court, particularly before it went into effect, the Texas law does not rely on government officials to enforce the ban. Instead, it deputizes private individuals to bring lawsuits against anyone who either providers or “aids or abets” an abortion, and it establishes an award of $10,000 for a successful lawsuit.

And the fun only begins in TEX-ASS and like most Republican Christian Nationalist and Christian Taliban-Esque Fascist plans, the current crop of GQP Trump Era judges, it looks like CHRISTIANITY will soon become the law of the land… and who knows what the HYPOCRITES will try to enforce on YOUR bodies in any other state of this here union!.... Nearly 24 hours after a Texas law that bans nearly all abortions in the state went into effect, the Supreme Court on Wednesday confirmed what it had previously only implied through its failure to act the night before: The court rejected a request to block enforcement of the law, which abortion providers say will bar at least 85% of abortions in the state and will likely cause many clinics to close, while a challenge to its constitutionality is litigated in the lower courts. The vote was 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the court’s three liberal justices – Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan – in dissent. (SCOTUSblog)
