"  Expected, but still crappy news this morning: Texas Governor Rick Perry signed the super-restrictive abortion ban (formerly known as SB5, HB2, and &amp;quot;that thing everyone has been fighting over&amp;quot;) into law, according to the The Associated Press. Dude&amp;#039;s got a set of balls on him (and not in a good way) to think he&amp;#039;s qualified to make such a huge personal decision for all of the women in the Lone Star state. The restrictions, which will be implemented this October, ban all abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and restrict the procedures to be done by a provider who has admitting privileges to a nearby hospital \u2014 not to mention a whole new host of janitorial and architectural requirements for abortion clinics. As of now, only five of Texas&amp;#039;s 42 clinics meet all of the standards; the rest would be shut down. If you&amp;#039;re angry about what&amp;#039;s happening, now would be a great time to donate to Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas (every fistful of dollars helps!) or #standwithtexaswomen by following Wendy Davis on Twitter.
