This legislator has consistently shown that they will protect abortion rights.
Thank them for their consistency. Your support will encourage them to continue to vote this way, and may give them the confidence to become a stronger advocate of pro-choice legislation.
1. Aside from our general opposition, we told Republicans the bill would force victims of rape & incest to carry those pregnancies to term. They voted for it anyway. 2. There’s no “other side”. Democrats did not have competing late-term abortion bills. Look for yourself.

“For women who have had—or had to contemplate—an abortion, it is a very serious and deeply personal situation. It’s not political. They aren’t asking for and don’t need our input. We have no business there. That is *exactly* why that choice is, and must remain, theirs to make.”

“Along with eliminating choice, the Texas abortion ban also has no exceptions for rape, incest, or severe fatal abnormalities. But we won’t expand Medicaid. Our foster care system is broken. We won’t even cover baby helmets. Is this what you wanted? #txlege”
