Texas Governor Greg Abbott Signs Bill to Ban Abortions, Legally Protecting Every Unborn Baby

Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed another pro-life bill in Texas on Tuesday, one that would completely ban abortions as soon as the U.S. Supreme Court allows states to do so.

Abbott signed the Human Life Protection Act (House Bill 1280). Sometimes referred to as a “trigger bill,” the legislation would protect unborn babies by banning abortions completely or as much as the U.S. Supreme Court allows when it overturns Roe v. Wade. The ban would go into effect 30 days after the Supreme Court rules. Exceptions would be allowed for risks to the mother’s life or a “substantial impairment of major bodily function.” Abortionists who violate the measure could face fines or prison time.

“I’m signing a law today that will save babies from the ravages of abortion,” Abbott said during a signing ceremony.“Under this law, the moment Roe v. Wade is overturned abortions will be outlawed in the state of Texas.”

This is truly a positive, but I don't see Roe v Wade being overturned.

Like signing a law that says we can stop paying federal taxes... as soon as the federal government says we can. Kinda meaningless.

Exactly. And until we have meaningful action accompanied with a poison-pill clause to stop litigants from bringing challenges and judges from hearing them, it will continue to be meaningless.
