Gov. Abbott Signs Bill Banning Abortions If Roe V. Wade Is Overturned

Republican Governor of Texas Greg Abbott signed a bill Wednesday that would ban abortions if Roe v. Wade is overturned. 

The bill would essentially end abortions in the state of Texas if a constitutional amendment is created that allows states to ban the practice, or if a court decides that states are able to take such action. It would potentially make Texas one of the first states in the nation to take the bold step in banning the procedure.
