“Make no mistake, Texas Republicans will not make changes to their total abortion ban. They will not make any exceptions for rape and incest victims. If you think this law is cruel and extreme and want to do something about it, vote for every Democrat on your ballot.”

"Texas voters say by 53% to 45% that the court should not topple its landmark decision in 1973 that granted women the right to an abortion" What did Abbott & #txlege Republicans do? They essentially outlawed abortion last session.

“A global pandemic is not the time for politics. The impact of @GovAbbotts executive order blocking abortion access has been devastating for patients. Take action now: #AbortionIsEssential #IStandWithPlannedParenthood @PPTXVotes @PPGreaterTX #txlege”

“This is a disappointing, if unsurprising, ruling. We need state leaders focused on responding to #COVID19, not continuing their political culture wars and blocking womens access to comprehensive health care, including abortion access. #txlege”
