(AP Photo\/Jeffrey Collins, File)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 10:16 AM PT \u2013 Thursday, September 2, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Texas has taken a major stride in supporting the sanctity of life. At midnight Wednesday, the state\u2019s heartbeat bill went into effect. This allows private citizens with information about a criminal abortion to report it to law enforcement or sue any abortion provider who kills an unborn child after a heartbeat is detected. Additionally, any person who aids or abets these illegal abortions can also be sued.<\/p>\n<p>Pro-life women like the director of Texas Right to Life, Elizabeth Graham, believe the law\u2019s unique framework will keep the abortion battle out of the \u201ctalons of activist judges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we devalue a child, whether that\u2019s at 40 weeks of pregnancy or a minute after birth born, we really are devaluing the rest of our brothers and sisters, born and unborn,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>Graham said the law represents a turning point in the nation and is a huge victory for women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe point of the law is to protect unborn children and to recognize the humanity of the unborn child who has a heartbeat, who has fingers, toes, hair, eyes,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd to empower the mother to chose life and feel like she can bring a child into the world with the multiple resources available.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham went on to add, women faced with unexpected pregnancies will not be left without support like pregnancy centers and nonprofit agencies, which focus on helping women faced with unexpected pregnancies and offer them free resources. She said this also includes education on how men and women can have a healthy relationship and work as a team to raise their child.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd many times, these organizations will help the father of the child to learn about parenting classes, healthy relationship skills, what his responsibilities could be or should be,\u201d explained the director. \u201cAnd so, these services are readily available to woman of any income level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham went on to add, she hopes this law will push Planned Parenthood into providing women with options besides abortion, especially considering they have claimed 97 percent of their services do not include abortion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I do hope America\u2019s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, would get on that train and back away from providing abortion,\u201d she stated. \u201cAnd understand that the way to empower women is to give them options when they are in a crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham believes there\u2019s a trend in America leaning toward empowering the family unit and away from tearing apart an unborn child. In the meantime, she\u2019s organizing an effort to help private citizens enforce the law and has vowed to ensure lawbreakers will be held accountable.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">VICTORY!
