Texas “Trigger Law” Not To Take Effect In 30 Days

(Austin, TX) — Texas’s abortion “trigger law” will take effect, but not in 30 days.

The state’s “Human Life Protection Act” will not officially be law until the U.S. Supreme Court issues an official judgment. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stated in an official advisory that the judgment can issue “in about a month” or even longer.

A violation of the new trigger law, which bans most abortions, is a first-degree felony.
