Texas Heartbeat Law remains in effect

Senator Bryan Hughes, author of the Texas Heartbeat Law, issued the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision today allowing the law to remain in effect.

STATEMENT:

“By leaving in place the Texas Heartbeat Law today, the Supreme Court affirmed two fundamental conservative principles: the sanctity of life and the sovereignty of states.

Today’s ruling preserves the heart of the law and ensures that doctors who perform illegal abortions are held accountable, and that little unborn babies will get a chance to live this beautiful life. This is a total victory for life, and it is long overdue.”
