Reposted from @wkamaubell Today, Texas banned abortion after 6 weeks. This effectively bans abortion completely, because Texas lawmakers know that many don’t even know that they are pregnant until after 6 weeks. Texas also knows this law targets Black and Latino Texans, especially poor folks. This law will be completely meaningless if you are white and have money. That means the lawmakers who passed this will continue to get all the abortions they need. And in addition to everything else wrong with this, the new law MAKES IT LEGAL TO SUE SOMEONE WHO IN ANY WAY IS INVOLVED WITH SOMEONE GETTING AN ABORTION. If you are the friend or family of someone getting an abortion and you know they are getting an abortion then you could be sued. And not sued by the state. You could be sued by any random individual who knows you didn’t try to stop the abortion. This could even apply to an Uber driver who took someone to the abortion. This is the same state that says you can’t tell people to wear a bit of cloth on their face to stop a pandemic. This is also why Texas just passed new restrictive voting laws. They have to stop the will of the Black and Latino people so they can pass other laws like this. Share these slides so Texas can’t get away with doing this in the dark. #wkamaubell #kamaubell #aclu Repost from @aclu_nationwide • Texas' extreme abortion ban, SB8, is a full-scale assault on patients, our health care providers, and our support systems. It's blatantly unconstitutional. We won't stop fighting until it's blocked. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTTlHm1rH5o/?utm_medium=tumblr
