Texas abortion ban: what it means and what happens next

Texas abortion ban: what it means and what happens next

In September 2021, the state of Texas implemented Senate Bill 8 (SB8) banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, including in cases of rape and incest. This is one of the most restrictive state laws on abortion in the country. To better understand what this means, SRHM gathered expert speakers to discuss how SB8 was implemented, the strategies being pursued to stop its enforcement and the ban’s implications for sexual and reproductive health and rights in the US and beyond.


Speakers:

Dr. Kari White - Associate Professor in the Steve Hicks School of Social Work and Faculty Research Associate at the Population Research Center at The University of Texas

Melanie Fontes - Fellow at the Center for Reproductive Rights

Dr. Samuel Dickman - Medical Director for Primary Care at Planned Parenthood South Texas
