---TEXAS / STATE Enacts New Pro-Life Law / Governor Greg Abbott

---On Dec 2, the day after the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a new law restricting chemical abortions took effect in Texas.

"Mail order abortion drugs are now prohibited in Texas, "Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted. "Earlier this year, the Biden Admin. temporarily lifted restrictions on abortion-inducing drugs allowing them to be delivered by mail. We will not allow that in Texas."

The law, known as S. B. 4, specifies that a manufacturer, supplier, physician or any other person may not provide to a patient any abortion-inducing drug by courier, delivery or mail service."

Instead, the law require an in-personal examination by a physician, a mandatory follow-up visit within 14 days and new reporting requirements for providers.

Any physician, health care or facility that defies the new law could be charged with a criminal offense and sentenced to jail time. ~~
