The US state of Texas has a new abortion law which is the strictest in the US.

(Negara bagian Texas di Amerika Serikat memiliki undang-undang aborsi baru terketat di Amerika Serikat)

The law stops abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, which is the time when many women do not even know that they are pregnant. People could sue abortion clinics, and if they win, they could get more than 10,000 dollars, which could make someone report women, who want to have an abortion. This already happened when people took pictures of women before abortion clinics.

(Undang-undang ini melarang aborsi setelah usia kehamilan sekitar 6 minggu, saat dimana banyak wanita bahkan tidak tahu kalau sedang mengandung. Orang-orang dapat menggugat klinik aborsi, dan jika menang, mereka mungkin dapat memperoleh uang lebih dari 10.000 dolar, dimana seseorang bisa melaporkan seorang perempuan, yang ingin melakukan aborsi. Orang-orang mulai melakukannya dengan memotret para wanita di klinik aborsi)

People protested in Texas after the law started. Some politicians were against the law because they believed that every woman could decide if she wanted to have a child or not. The US president Joe Biden said he agreed with that, and he said he would try to change the law.

(Orang-orang berunjuk rasa saat undang-undang ini mulai berlaku. Beberapa politisi menentangnya karena mereka percaya bahwa setiap wanita dapat memutuskan jika ingin memiliki anak atau tidak. Presiden Amerika Serikat Joe Biden setuju dengan itu dan berkata akan mengubah undang-undang tersebut)
