'The reality is the court system was created so that we would address things in a civil manner - which is in court - and not go harm each other. 'I think itвЂ™s laughable,' he told Fox News in an interview last month. Ken Paxton, TexasвЂ™ Republican attorney general, pushed back on claims that the law divided communities and led private citizens to harass each other.

TEXAS CLINICS CANCEL ABORTIONS AFTER COURT REINSTATES BAN The Los Angeles Times, for example, penned an editorial worrying that it turned private citizens into 'anti-abortion vigilantes.' An article in 'Third Way' similarly warned the new ban 'sicks bounty hunters on women and doctors.'

ItвЂ™s cruel.'Д¬oncerns have also been raised about how the law impacts the way citizens relate to each other. 'Our physicians and staff are thinking about what might be done to them and what they might have to defend. 'The threat and intimidation that are structured into this bill have been remarkable,' Amy Hagstrom Miller, the founder and CEO of Whole WomanвЂ™s Health, reportedly said. Abortion clinics are reportedly turning patients away in response to the new legal environment. The lack of centralized enforcement, however, has apparently had a similar effect.

SUPREME COURT SIGNALS QUICK RESOLUTION ON BIDEN CHALLENGE TO LANDMARK TEXAS ABORTION LAWД¬omplicating matters is the atypical enforcement mechanism, which relies on the willingness of private citizens to file lawsuits. As many critics have noted, women may not even know they are pregnant at six weeks. TexasвЂ™ law, like heartbeat bills, can be confusing as it limits abortion based on cardiac activity rather than a standard number of weeks. 'But if she chooses to terminate her pregnancy, that does not stop us from helping her maybe with her other children, maybe in the future - thatвЂ™s who we are. WeвЂ™re not going to pay for the abortion and weвЂ™re not going to refer her to an abortion clinic.' 'WeвЂ™re going to serve her if she continues the pregnancy, and weвЂ™re going to serve her if she decides to terminate the baby. 'Our service is not contingent upon what choice she makes,' HPHC CEO Sylvia Johnson told Fox News.

That particular center commits to staying with women until their children are 3 years old, reflecting a growing trend of pro-life charities committing to provide more than initial services. Those reportedly doled out an estimated $33 million in materials and services and served around 180,000 women, men, youth and families.ДЇacilities like HPHC also employ medical staff and mental health professionals. Texas had around 200 pregnancy help centers in 2019, according to the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute. Those groups, like many others in the state, offer material and financial help (rental assistance, housing, utilities, etc.) to women in crisis pregnancies. It also saw a 42% increase in client visits (1,026 to 1,466) and over 20% increases in pregnancy tests performed, in 'abortion-minded' or 'abortion-vulnerable' clients, and in women who chose not to have abortions.ДЄNTI-ABORTION PREGNANCY CENTERS ADAPT TO NEW CHALLENGES, FACE INCREASED DEMAND DURING THE PANDEMIC For example, ultrasounds increased 50% (244 to 365). Houston Pregnancy Help Center (HPHC) provided data on Thursday showing that it saw increases across multiple categories from September 2020 to the same month this year.
