“Today is a very solemn 50th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. Instead of the nation moving forward on this issue, we've instead gone back into the dark ages of abortion rights. But that hasn't dampened my optimism and passion for fighting for this issue. #txlege”

Update from SCOTUS - a win for abortion rights! The case is close to home for the #txlege: "Louisiana's law is virtually identical to one struck down… in 2016, which found that the… law in Texas was medically unnecessary and that it significantly limited access to abortion."
