Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signs fetal "heartbeat" bill, prohibiting most abortions after a heartbeat can be detected; could ban the procedure as early as six weeks into pregnancy...

My Comment: With Texas’ new abortion law, the fetus is declared to be human when there’s a detectable heartbeat at about six weeks of age. Now the real work begins — or shall we say, “it’s where the rubber meets the road”.
For example:
Exceptions to the rule will have to be worked out thru the courts because some special case pregnancies will have to be terminated.
Dramatically increased public support for contraception will need to be forthcoming.
Holding absent fathers accountable will have to be ramped up.
Social and financial services for children will need to be proportionately increased, et al.
Without humane and responsible ‘follow through’, the new law would become a testimony to ‘heart’lessness and then, itself, need to be terminated.
