Earlier this month, in the middle of the night, the Supreme Court refused to block a Texas law that bans most abortions.

That law is now the most restrictive

abortion measure in the nation. It bans abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy and

establishes a sort of bounty system that allows anyone to sue those involved in facilitating an

abortion. This is, of course, bigger than Texas. The decision could

be a blueprint for gutting Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion nationally.

It's going to play out in the courts. And while it does, groups on the ground are figuring out

how to adopt. Zena Zamora is the executive director of the Frontera Fund.

They provide support and funding for those seeking abortions in Texas' Rio Grande Valley.

We're going to talk about what this decision means for those seeking care and where this fight goes from here.

A lot of us aren't in Texas right now. We're not looking at this through the lens of someone who is there. Where are you, Zana? Where in Texas are you? I'm located in the Rio Grande Valley,

so deep south Texas along the U.S.-Mexico border. What are you hearing from people in Texas?

There's a lot of confusion around the law and just people being upset.

I think a lot of people think that this law just went way too far.

The biggest concern for most of the people who do abortion funding work is how are we going to help people get their

abortion care? In your own words, what does this legislation do? So SB8, what it does is it

bans abortion past six weeks in Texas. It is essentially a complete abortion ban because by the time most people know that

they're pregnant, they're unable to get an abortion in Texas. This also has a very cruel and specific

civil litigation or civil cause of action that allows anybody to sue anybody else who helps

quote unquote aid and abet someone in getting abortion care in

Texas past six weeks.

It is such a vague law that we don't really know what it means to aid in a bit.
