As of September 1, it is now forbidden to abort after six weeks of pregnancy in Texas.
A law that angers many celebrities, starting with actress and activist Alyssa Milano.
The
Commando
star
did not hesitate to call for a fight against this law which goes against the right of women to dispose of their bodies.
“Texas' newest abortion ban (…) gives politicians, neighbors and even strangers the right to sue those who provide - or just help patients get - an abortion after 6 weeks.
It's time to fight for our health and reproductive rights!
“, She launched on Twitter.
A call taken up in particular by Pink, who asks to "do something" to prevent the law from remaining in force, or even Eva Longoria, Amy Schumer or Emmy Rossum, among others, who all believe that it is time to "fight" ".
A “catastrophe” for women's rights
On the political side, obviously, the decision of the Supreme Court (with a conservative majority) to do nothing to block this law divides.
Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives, calls it a “disaster” and denounces an effort to “erase the rights and protection offered by Roe v.
Wade ”.
It refers to the 1973 Supreme Court ruling which guarantees the right to abortion for American women.
US President Joe Biden has in any case reaffirmed his government's commitment to ensure that the constitutional rights offered by Roe v.
Wade "be protected".
According to its vice-president, Kamala Harris, this measure would directly affect the 7 million Texans of childbearing age.
