As Texas' Abortion Trigger Law Goes Into Effect, Beto O'Rourke Ramps Up Attacks

A trigger law banning abortion in Texas with no exceptions for rape or incest went into effect Thursday, and Beto O’Rourke wants to make sure voters there don’t forget it was entirely GOP Gov. Greg Abbott’s doing.

The Democratic nominee for governor stopped at a women’s health clinic in Houston on Thursday, where he held a news conference with patients and providers who already find themselves in excruciating situations because of the law, which went into effect following the reversal of Roe v. Wade earlier this summer.
