Former Texas state Senator Wendy Davis has filed a federal lawsuit against the Texas abortion law, which bans abortion at six weeks, arguing that it is “blatantly unconstitutional.”

“S.B. 8 seeks not only to strip Texans of their fundamental right to make decisions about their pregnancies, based on their individual circumstances and religious beliefs, but also to make a mockery of the federal courts,” according to the court filing made by Davis.
