Pro-choice protesters and anti-abortion activists gathered outside the Supreme Court on October 4, 2021, in Washington, DC alongside each over temporarily blocking a controversial law that bans most abortions in the state of Texas.
A US federal judge called on the Justice Department's emergency on Wednesday to stop Texas from enforcing its near-total abortion ban on the grounds that it is unconstitutional.
The law went into effect at the end of August to ban all abortions after the detection of cardiac activity of the fetus, which occurs at about 6 weeks after conception and before most know they are pregnant. Exceptions for conception as the result of rape, incest or sexual abuse were not allowed under the law, UPI reported.
