Anti-abortion “trigger” laws designed to take effect after the fall of Roe v Wade are now active in three more states – Texas, Tennessee and Idaho – joining eight others where most abortions are outlawed, two months after the US Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the constitutional right to abortion care.
In Texas, where clinics stopped abortion care over fears of prosecution in the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision, abortion providers can now face $100,000 in fines and life in prison if convicted.
