Abbott also stated that the law “does not require” rape survivors to give birth to children of rapists because it allows women to have an abortion at least six weeks after conception. Ocasio-Cortez called his remarks “disgusting” and added that it exposed his “deep ignorance” of the female body.
In response, Ocasio-Cortez wrote: “If no one has notified him in his life, six weeks of pregnancy means that your menstruation is delayed by two weeks. For anyone with a menstrual cycle, your A two-week delay in menstruation can happen if you are stressed, if your diet changes, or if there is no reason at all. So you don’t have six weeks.”
The new Texas law signed by Abbott, Authorize private citizens to sue Anyone who “helps or abets” an abortion. These helpers and instigators may include any health care workers, drivers or sponsors who assist pregnant women with abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.Any ordinary citizen who successfully prosecutes is The right to receive a reward of at least $10,000 From the person being sued.
Critics say the law basically encourages lynching bounty hunters to track and monitor pregnant women and their private medical decisions.
Although the fetal heartbeat can be detected immediately after six weeks of pregnancy, most women do not know that they are pregnant within six weeks of pregnancy. According to the Center for Reproductive Rights, approximately 85-90% of abortions in Texas are at least six weeks pregnant.
Many social media commentators want to know why Texas’ anti-abortion law punishes women seeking abortions, not men who make women pregnant. Some social media commentators suggested that the court should require mandatory vasectomy for men who conceive women seeking abortions.
