Texas Continues Crackdown on Reproductive Rights, Restricting Use of Abortion-Inducing Meds
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In reproductive rights news, Texas has enacted yet another law
restricting abortion rights by barring doctors from providing medication
to induce a medical abortion after only seven weeks into a pregnancy.
Anyone who violates the law faces a state felony offense, up to two
years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000. NARAL Pro-Choice America
said, "Anti-choice politicians have made their intentions abundantly
clear, and they will stop at nothing to strip away reproductive
freedom."
