Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday signed a bill, which adds more limits and raises criminal penalties for the use of abortion-inducing medication, that goes into effect in three months.
The signing of the measure—Senate Bill 4—comes a few weeks after Abbott, a Republican, signed a bill to implement Senate Bill 8, which prohibits abortions after fetal cardiac activity is detected. State records show that Abbott, who did not issue a public statement, signed Senate Bill 4 into law on Monday.
