Abortion Trigger Laws Take Effect In 3 More U.S. States

Trigger laws restricting access to abortion took effect Friday in Tennessee, Texas and Idaho.

Idaho, Tennessee and Texas are the latest Republican-led states to tighten restrictions on abortion by implementing so-called “trigger laws" that were put on the books to severely limit abortions if Roe was overturned, which happened in June.

President Joe Biden said Friday that such restrictions were “beyond the pale.”
