A Texas law banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy went into effect Wed.. Here's what people are saying:
The ban, AKA SB8, was passed and signed into law in May. It is one of the nation's strictest bans on abortion. (CNN)
It's also not just a ban: the law also awards $10K+ to anyone who successfully reports and sues abortion providers. (NPR)
Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson told MSNBC Wed. that the law "makes no sense whatsoever."
Johnson: "This is a state that supposedly loves defending the Constitution....they don't even 'love thy neighbor.'"
Pres. Biden on Wed. released a statement condemning the law: "[We] will protect and defend that right."
