Last June, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe, the 1973 ruling forcing all 50 states to allow most abortions. That allowed new and old pro-life laws to take effect across the country, including a full, direct abortion ban dating to 1925 that was temporarily blocked after the ruling by a lower judge. Texas also has a heartbeat-based abortion ban that was allowed to take effect before Roe was overturned thanks to its unique enforcement mechanism (citizen lawsuits rather than government prosecution).

The heartbeat law was credited with significantly reducing abortions in the Lone Star State, and now Texas Right to Life highlights new data from the Texas Department of Health & Human Services revealing that the reactivation of the 1923 law has virtually eradicated the practice.

Pro-life medical experts maintain that direct abortion is never medically necessary to save a mother's life; it is unclear from the Texas HHS datasheet whether the three "medically necessary" abortions were actually abortions, or life-saving treatments that had the unintended, indirect result of losing the baby.
