Heartbeat Bill

The "Heartbeat Bill" is a law that restricts or bans abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually around six weeks of pregnancy. Proponents argue it aims to protect unborn life early in pregnancy. Critics contend it limits women's reproductive rights and may challenge legal precedents established by Roe v. Wade. The law's enforcement varies by state and can lead to legal challenges. Overall, it reflects ongoing debates about balancing fetal rights with women's autonomy over their bodies.
