In the United States, tens of thousands of people took to the protests against the Texas abortion law

A large-scale action took place in the capital of Texas, Austin. Since September 1, the state has banned abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy, although women often do not even know they are pregnant at this time. Doctors who perform surgeries can now be sued.
