Connecticut House passes bill combatting abortion laws in other states; Gov. Lamont will sign
Fox News
The Connecticut House of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill on Tuesday that effectively combats some abortion restrictions in other states by allowing persons who face legal liability for violating abortion laws to sue for damages in Connecticut courts. Gov. Ned Lamont, a Democrat, pledged to sign the bill if it passes the Democrat-dominated state Senate.
The bill comes in the wake of a Texas law that effectively prohibits abortion at around six weeks, when a fetal heartbeat can be detected and before many women know they’re pregnant. Rather than having the state enforce the ban, the Texas law creates a private right of action against individuals who commit or aid and abet an abortion that violates the law – but not against the woman who undergoes the procedure. H.B. 5414 aims to combat such laws in other states, giving those who violate the Texas law a legal defense in Connecticut.
