Pro-life groups on Wednesday said they were ready to assist women facing unexpected pregnancies, as Texas’ “heartbeat” law went into effect. “Organizations like mine will not rest because we are actively helping women facing unexpected pregnancies,” stated Chelsey Youman, Texas legislative director for the group Human Coalition Action. Human Coalition operates a nationwide network of women’s care centers, providing both in-person and remote health care. The “Texas Heartbeat Act,” signed into law in May and effective Sept. 1, prohibits abortions after the detection of a fetal heartbeat, which can occur as early as six weeks into pregnancy. The law only includes exceptions for medical emergencies. However, the law is enforced through private lawsuits and not by the government.
