Study shows moral failure of Texas’ abortion ban, which makes no exceptions for rape

Except for rape or incest.

With those five words, the most restrictive abortion law in the nation could have been a little less cruel.

From inception through implementation in September 2021, the Texas law that bans abortion starting at around six weeks of pregnancy and allows anyone to sue someone aiding and abetting an abortion was an unprecedented assault on women’s reproductive rights. The law is so extreme it doesn’t allow an exception for sexual assault.
