Senate Bill 8 (also known as SB8 and the ‘Heartbeat Bill’) was signed 19th May 2021 by Texas’s Republican Governor Greg Abbott to come into effect 1st September 2021. The law is significant as it ensures:
- Abortion is banned after 6 weeks (around the time that medical professionals can detect embryonic cardiac activity).
- "a private civil right of action" against those who “aids and abets” illegal abortions, whereby claimants can seek up to $10,000 (£7,200) (BBC News, 2021)
