Texas' new abortion law, one of the most restrictive of its kind in the nation, has prompted strong responses from its opponents and supporters. Abortion rights advocates have since denounced the law as an erosion of a pregnant person's bodily autonomy, while anti-abortion activists celebrated the legislation going into effect, calling it a "historic" day. The legislation, which a divided Supreme Court left to take effect late Wednesday, prohibits abortion procedures after about six weeks of pregnancy.
