TX Heartbeat Law Stands

Recently a new anti-abortion law in Texas passed through the legislature, was signed by the governor and was allowed to go into law by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Joining Jim to discuss this issue was Brad Mattes. Brad is the president of Life Issues Institute, the pro-life grassroots partner of the Susan B. Anthony List Education Fund. Life Issues Institute was founded in 1991 to serve the educational needs of the pro-life movement. He's the host of Life Issues, a daily radio commentary.

This new legislation is called the "Heartbeat Act". This act would stop any abortion once a medical professional can detect a heartbeat in the office of a doctor. Brad noted that this is at the six week mark and certainly by 8 weeks.
