This article is about Texas creating a law that making most abortions after the six week mark illegal. This law went into action on Wednesday, making this the most limited abortion initiative in the nation. In Texas’s specific case, this law would be banning nearly 85-90 percent of abortions. The article also highlights where this fight all started with the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. Texas’s law is different than other states that have passed similar laws because they wanted to make sure the law would be hard to question.

This article also provides some insight from medical personnel about the topic and how it would affect their departments. This law not only affects people wanting to get abortions but the doctors and nurses that have previously offered these services.
