Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says abortion is now illegal in the state, following Friday’s Supreme Court decision.
In a statement released shortly after the decision was announced, Paxton said “Today, the question of abortion returns to the states. And in Texas, that question has already been answered: abortion is illegal here.”
Paxton also decided to close his office for the rest of the day – which he says is “in honor of the nearly 70 million unborn babies killed in the womb since 1973”.
Is Paxton closing his office as a memorial, or so he doesn’t have to deal with the public backlash? Will other states follow his lead?
