The abortion law is the toughest of its kind since 1973, and came into force on 1 September.
- Our Creator blessed us with the gift of life.
Despite this, millions of children lose the right to their lives every year due to abortion.
In Texas, we work to protect those lives, said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott as he signed the law.
US President Joe Biden, on the other hand, believes that the law is clearly in violation of the Constitution - the US Constitution, and has promised to defend the right to abortion.
"Texas law will significantly impair women's access to the health care they need, especially in communities with blacks and low-income earners," Biden said in a statement on Wednesday.
Starts collection
To help women affected by the austerity measures, two of America's most popular dating companies, Bumble and Match Group - which owns the dating services Tinder, Hinge, Okcupid and Match.com, have decided to start rescue funds, CNN reports.
Whitney Wolfe Herd, CEO of Austin-based Bumble, announced on Wednesday that the company has launched a fundraiser to "support the reproductive rights of women and men across the spectrum who want to have an abortion in Texas."
“Bumble is founded by women and is ruled by women, and from day one we have stood up for the most vulnerable.
We will continue to fight against backward-looking laws such as # SB8 ", the company writes on Twitter.
Pays travel abroad
Grants will be given to organizations working for women's reproductive rights, including the Texas Choice Fund, according to Bumble.
At the same time, Shar Dubey, CEO of the Dallas-based Match Group, has announced that the dating company will create a fund to ensure that employees and their relatives can seek care outside the state.
