The Connecticut House of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill on Tuesday that effectively combats some abortion restrictions in other states by allowing persons who face legal liability for violating abortion laws to sue for damages in Connecticut courts. Gov. Ned Lamont, a Democrat, pledged to sign the bill if it passes the Democrat-dominated state Senate.
laws in other states by allowing persons who face legal liability for violating other states' abortion laws to sue for damages in Connecticut courts. Gov. Ned Lamont, a Democrat, pledged to sign the bill if it passes the Democrat-dominated state Senate., aims"to provide protections for persons receiving and providing reproductive health care services in the state.
The bill would protect abortion providers in Connecticut – and those who help them – from liability under the laws of states like Texas when they perform an abortion on a Texas resident who travels to Connecticut for an abortion. The bill comes in the wake of a Texas law that effectively prohibits abortion at around six weeks, when a fetal heartbeat can be detected and before many women know they’re pregnant. Rather than having the state enforce the ban, the Texas law creates a private right of action against individuals who commit or aid and abet an abortion that violates the law – but not against the woman who undergoes the procedure.
