The conservative-controlled U.S. Supreme Court intends to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to leaked to Politico — and, should that happen, a Texas law would essentially prohibit all abortions in the state.
The Republican-controlled Texas Legislature last year passed a"trigger law” that would go into effect 30 days after the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that ensured women's right to seek the procedure.— performing or helping provide an abortion would become a felony offense. Doctors who conduct the procedure could face life in prison and up to $100,000 in fines.
If the statute goes into effect, the average Texan would have to drive 525 miles, each way, to obtain abortion care,It's unclear whether a majority of justices still support the leaked draft opinion or whether there have been changes to the document, which is dated Feb. 10. The draft, signed by Justice Samuel Alito, a member of the court's 6-3 conservative majority, appears to reflect a court vote on Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban.
“When news like this comes out, it confuses people and scares people, and I think there are people who will read these stories and think that abortion is already illegal,” Hagstrom Miller said. “I think it’s important for us to speak to these people and let them know this isn’t final, and at least for now we can still offer them the care they deserve.”
