SUPPORTERS of abortion rights are vowing a court challenge to a new law banning abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy approved by the Texas legislature.
The measure tightens regulations for doctors and clinics that perform abortions, and would have the effect of shutting down many existing providers of such services.
Governor Rick Perry, who plans to sign the bill, called it the "final step in our historic effort to protect life."
He said it complies with current interpretations of the US Constitution protecting the right to end pregnancies in most cases.
State Senator Wendy Davis, who gained national prominence last month by speaking for 11 hours straight in the Texas Senate to block the abortion legislation, tweeted on Saturday that the new law was shameful and should be overturned.
"The law passed last night will undoubtedly be challenged in court," she wrote.
