The government also annoys Hollywood: Actresses and singers are rioting… You will not decide on OUR BODIES! – Topky

Reese Witherspoon, Eva Longoria Baston and Pink responded to a U.S. Supreme Court verdict that rejected a ban on abortions on Thursday night after the sixth week of pregnancy in Texas on Wednesday.

The court’s decision was also criticized by US President Joe Biden. The law prohibits abortions from that stage of pregnancy when fetal heart sounds can be detected, which is usually possible in the sixth week of pregnancy – before many women even know they are pregnant. The law does not make exceptions for rape or incest. The only exception is if a pregnant woman is at health risk, AFP explains.

Although such a law has already been approved in ten “republican” states, according to AFP, it has not yet entered into force for litigation in any of them – only in Texas. Eva Longoria said in her Twitter post on Thursday that there is a need to “fight for the reproductive freedom of each individual” against the background of the extreme ban on abortion (in Texas) and (other) states that have adopted a record number of restrictions this year. ) abortions “.

Under the hashtag #BansOffOurBodies, actress and producer Reese Witherspoon has supported Texans and their “constitutional right to decide on their health and their own bodies” in their world. Singer Pink, in turn, insisted that opponents of the law take action and prevent the adoption of similar laws in other states of the American Union.

If Texas law continues to apply, it will be the most fundamental restriction on the right to abortion in the United States since 1973, when it was legalized there, according to Reuters. Women in the United States have since been guaranteed the right to undergo abortion until the fetus was able to survive outside the womb, ie until about 22-24. week of pregnancy. That was why challenging the law was therefore extremely difficult for federal courts, AFP explained.
