"Blanket Unconstitutional" Texas Abortion Ban Takes Effect in Major Setback for Reproductive Rights. democracynow.org In a major setback for reproductive rights, the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed a Texas law to go into effect that bans abortions after six weeks — before most people even know they are pregnant. Until now, no other six-week ban has ever gone into effect in the United States. The law is seen as a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade and allows private citizens to file civil suits against abortion providers or anyone who "aids or abets" an abortion after six weeks. "What Texas has done is blanket unconstitutional," says Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights.
