Critics react to Texas abortion law: 'Sends a chill down the spine of every woman' fearing for Roe v Wade
Fox News
Media pundits shared their discontent with a Texas law that went into effect Wednesday prohibiting abortions after six weeks, when a fetal heartbeat can be detected.
Liberal networks blasted the law, arguing that many women don't even know they're pregnant at six weeks and worrying it has put Roe v. Wade, the sweeping 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, in jeopardy. "Why this is such a big deal, not just for women in Texas, is because it sends a chill down the spine to every woman in this country who is worried about their state, fearing they may use this as a blueprint for what could be a way to get around Roe v. Wade in ways that didn't work in years past," CNN "Early Start" co-anchor Laura Jarrett, daughter of former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, reacted Wednesday.More Related News
