The law bans abortions after six weeks and encourages patients to rat out their own abortion providers.
Pro-abortion legal organizations fighting the bill released a joint statement on Wednesday. “This is a highly unorthodox action that will immediately push essential abortion care out of reach for patients beyond the earliest stages of pregnancy. Across the state, providers are now being forced to turn away patients who thought they would be able to access abortion, immediately changing the course of their lives and futures. This is horrific.
The bill specifically allows abortion for ectopic pregnancies but says those are not really abortions.
