“Gov't should make it easier for women to receive reproductive healthcare. Instead have created a chill among meds that is harming women and families. Texans must send a message to #txlege that we are done with the GOP's dangerous control of women's bodies. #NotGoingBack #Vote”

“The GOP thought they could control womens reproductive health. Now, women are terrified of getting pregnant & doctors send septic women home, scared of the oppressive hand of the AG's office. Our entire government has forsaken its duty to Texas women.”

“TX women deserve a state govt that protects their rights. Current leadership has taken those rights by reversing gains made to reduce teen pregnancy & in cases of rape/incest, leaving women no choice but to carry a forced pregnancy.”
