New Texas law bans abortion-inducing drugs after seven weeks pregnancy

Governor Greg Abbott's actions sparked outrage from reproductive rights advocates in a state that recently passed another restrictive bill

By the end of the year Texas may have even more restrictions on the ability to get an abortion after its Republican governor Greg Abbott quietly signed into law new restrictions banning the mail order provision of abortion medication seven weeks into pregnancy.

The law prevents providers from prescribing abortion-inducing drugs more than seven weeks into pregnancy, instead of ten weeks, the current limit. It takes effect on December 2.
