The latest from César

“51 years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled that abortion was constitutionally protected. Although #RoevWade has since been overturned, the fight to protect women's reproductive rights in Texas is not over. Women have a constitutional right to be in control of their bodies, healthcare decisions, and future.”

“Everyone should have the right to control their own body and the freedom to make choices about their reproductive futures. I’ll continue fighting to restore and expand access to basic health care until everyone can get the care they deserve. #txlege @PPGreaterTX @PPFA”

“Women’s healthcare and abortion rights are a human rights issue. Texas’ trigger law & #SCOTUS overturning Roe V. Wade won’t end abortions, they’ll just push them to dark alleys & unsafe conditions and disproportionately impact minority & poor women.” #txlege #tribfest22

“Time after time, history has shown that accessible, legal abortion is a basic healthcare need for millions of women, girls, and others. #SB8 will drive abortions underground, cause preventable deaths and injuries, and stop doctors from providing life-saving care. #txlege”
