Greta Thunberg has shared her thoughts on the new Texas abortion law with a very blunt chart. The 18-year-old Swedish activist took to social media in the wake of the southern state passing a new law - known as Senate Bill 8 - that bans abortion providers from carrying out terminations after the fetus' heartbeat had been detected. Per <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2021/09/03/us/what-is-texas-abortion-law-as-equals-intl-cmd/index.html">CNN</a>, this is usually around the six-week mark - a time when many women are unaware that they are pregnant. The law cites no exception for pregnancies that are the result of rape or incest, and it can be "policed" by citizens who are able to sue abortion providers for $10,000 in successful cases. The only exception to the law is if a "physician believes that a medical emergency exists". Taking to Twitter on Friday, Thunberg shared the following chart with her five million followers: [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/GretaThunberg/status/1433844465836433439]] Along with the caption "the reasons why women have abortions", the chart reads "personal choice" at 60%, a very to-the-point "F**k off" at 22%, then "Not your concern" at 10%, and finally "Mind your business" at 8%. The tweet has since amassed over 197,000 'likes' and more than 45,000 retweets, as of this writing. <img class="size-large wp-image-1263125319" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/09/Screen-Shot-2021-09-05-at-10.19.54-1024x723.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="723" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: ZUMA Press, Inc./Alamy]] President Biden has also spoken out against the new law, calling the Supreme Court's failure to not block the law an "unprecedented assault" on women's rights, per <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-58424249">BBC News</a>. "The highest court of our land will allow millions in Texas in need of critical reproductive care to suffer while courts sift through procedural complexities," Biden added. The POTUS has now launched a "whole-of-government" response to combat the new law, which Biden says "unleashes unconstitutional chaos and empowers self-anointed enforcers to have devastating impacts." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has also responded to the Supreme Court's response to the bill, saying in a <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2021/09/02/politics/read-pelosi-texas-abortion-statement/index.html">statement</a>: <blockquote>"The Supreme Court's cowardly, dark-of-night decision to uphold a flagrantly unconstitutional assault on women's rights and health is staggering. That this radically partisan Court chose to do so without a full briefing, oral arguments or providing a full, signed opinion is shameful."</blockquote> Pelosi added that Senate Bill 8 "unleashes one of the most disturbing, unprecedented and far-reaching assaults on health care providers." <h6>Featured image credit: Entertainment Pictures / Alamy</h6>
