Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says abortion is now illegal in the state and declares June 24 as a day off, according to CNN.
He gives all employees time off to mark the lives that have been lost in abortions.
– Roe vs. Wade and the health organization Planned Parenthood have absolutely no hold on the US Constitution, Paxton said on Friday after the Supreme Court ruling.
“Americans have had to live under these illegal and unconstitutional rulings of a biased Supreme Court,” he added.
The state of Missouri was one of several that had warned that an abortion ban would take effect quickly if the Supreme Court overturned the ruling that gave the right to abortion.
In a statement from Eric Schmitt, the state’s highest legal authority, it appears that the abortion ban will now take effect.
– The decision to set Roe aside allows Missouri to renew its proud pro-life traditions and restore basic legal protection for the most basic human right: the right to life, Schmitt writes.
The states of Arizona and Louisiana have also introduced the ban on abortion, with the exception of cases where it is medically necessary.
