Review Bill

Take Action

What to do now:

Tell James they do not represent you:

This legislator is dangerous. Their position on abortion is completely out of touch: advocating for some of the most extreme abortion bans being considered right now.

What to say:

Call your legislator and make it clear that they are going too far. Try to urge them to walk away from their most extreme positions.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why you do not agree with their position. Personal stories that exemplify the problems these bans would create are helpful.
  • Ask if they will protect the right to an abortion in such cases.
  • If they say no, ask them how they plan to fund more public childcare and maternal healthcare.

“Biden is right that Roe v Wade decision makes us an outlier among countries, but not for the reason he thinks. Much of the US will continue to allow abortion from 20 weeks up to the moment before birth. Only 6 other countries allow. Only 6 including China & N Korea. #txlege”

“Most of Europe (& the rest of the world) doesn’t allow abortions after 12 weeks. In a post-Roe world, California & others allow abortions until the moment before a baby is born. But somehow the narrative is about how extreme abortion restrictions are now in the US.”
