Texas Alliance for Life is keeping abortion legal in Texas
SAN MARCOS DAILY RECORD
Despite Texas’s so-called abortion “ban,” Foundation to Abolish Abortion reports that over 60,000 abortions are expected to be committed by Texas women this year — and that number doesn’t even include the rising tide of unrecorded self-managed abortions. The truth is, abortion remains legal in Texas at any stage and for any reason — as long as it’s committed by the mother.
This shocking reality prompted Texas abortion abolitionists to file HB2197, an equal protection and justice bill that would apply existing homicide laws equally to protect prenatal children. But to the dismay of many, Texas Alliance for Life, one of the largest pro-life political groups in the state, actively opposed the bill. And it didn’t stop there. TAL lobbied legislators to reject equal justice, insisting that women should have blanket immunity from prosecution for their part in abortion.
