Following through on a promise to prioritize anti-abortion legislation, a panel of Texas senators approved a slate of abortion restrictions
Tuesday and sent them to the full chamber for consideration.
Among those seven pieces of legislation was Senate Bill 8, which would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat has been detected, which is before many women know they are pregnant. The bill, one of Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s priorities, has an exception for medical emergencies but not for rape or incest.

Tuesday and sent them to the full chamber for consideration.
Among those seven pieces of legislation was Senate Bill 8, which would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat has been detected, which is before many women know they are pregnant. The bill, one of Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s priorities, has an exception for medical emergencies but not for rape or incest.
Another Patrick priority is Senate Bill 9, which would bar nearly all abortions if the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision or otherwise altered abortion laws. Other proposals would bar later-term abortions in the case of severe fetal abnormalities, and could force people to carry ill-fated or unviable pregnancies to term, according to experts and advocates.
