– These people are dependent on us, they have names, they have families.
NEW YORK (Nettavisen): Last week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a new law that makes abortion forbidden even before many women know they are pregnant.
Thus, the state is now in line with a number of other states that have introduced a ban on abortion as soon as it is possible to register heart sounds in the embryo, ie as early as six weeks.
Prohibits abortion after six weeks
But Texas law differs from other states in that it allows private citizens, not the police, to intervene by suing abortion doctors or anyone who helps a woman have an abortion, including nurses, marriage counselors and friends.
The new strict abortion law has created strong reactions, not only in the United States, but also internationally.
One of those intimidated by the new law is Dr. Bhavik Kumar, who has performed abortions at the Planned Parenthood Center for Choice in Houston Texas.

“While politicians pass these laws in buildings that are far away, it is we who actually meet these people, who take care of them,” Kumar told Insider. He is appalled at the consequences of the new law coming into force.
– These are people who depend on us, they have names, they have families, and having access to this type of care means the whole world to them, says Kumar.

– Incredibly difficult to think about this
He says the 13-year-old girl who became pregnant lived in a remote area of Texas, far away from the nearest abortion clinic.
Texas is one of the states in the United States where there is the greatest distance between the abortion clinics, and the girl’s family therefore had to drive for several hours to get to the clinic in Houston.

– She should not have had to deal with any of what she struggled with, but when I think about whether a law like this should come into force, and she was not able to access abortion, if that was what she had chosen, what would her life have been like then? How different would it not have been? says Kumar.
– It is incredibly difficult for me to think about this, that someone is robbed of this choice, the doctor says.

Girl (17) drugged, raped and became pregnant
Doctor Kumar also cites another recent example, where a 17-year-old girl was drugged with tablets and then raped at her first party.
She did not know who the abuser was, became pregnant, and she and her family then went to Kumar’s clinic.

– They did not decide to get pregnant. They did not even make the decision to have sex. Thus, such a new law would not have given people like these any choice, it would have forced them to complete the pregnancy, says Kumar.
Insider writes that the two teenagers mentioned, in theory, can travel to neighboring states and have an abortion performed there, but points out that it requires time, money and other resources that not all victims of sexual abuse have.

Fear more laws
The ban on abortion has so far been stopped by federal courts because it violates current US law, but that may change now that the United States’ increasingly conservative Supreme Court to consider a law in Mississippi that makes abortion prohibited after the 15th week.
Abortion advocates fear that there could be many more laws restricting abortion in a number of states if the Supreme Court approves the Mississippi law.
