May 19, 2021 Catholic News Agency The governor of Texas on Wednesday signed a ban on most abortions conducted after the detection of a fetal heartbeat. Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed SB 8, a bill prohibiting doctors from performing abortions unless they first search for a fetal heartbeat, which can be detected as early as six weeks into pregnancy. If doctors were to detect a heartbeat, under the legislation they could not perform an abortion except in a medical emergency. The law is enforced exclusively through private civil action, not by the government. “Our creator endowed us with the right to life, and yet, millions of children lose their right to life every year because of abortion,” Abbott stated on Wednesday at the bill signing.

Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas sued the city of Lubbock on Monday over a voter-approved “sanctuary city for the unborn” ordinance that seeks to outlaw abortions in the West Texas city’s limits.
The ordinance which the lawsuit says is unconstitutional was passed by local voters earlier this month over the opposition of City Council members who warned it could not be enforced and would prompt a costly legal fight.
The lawsuit was filed in a federal district court and seeks to stop the abortion ban from taking effect on June 1. The city, in a news release, said it would vigorously defend this ordinance and looks forward to presenting that defense in court.
