Texas lawmakers ditch discussion on controversial bill that would make abortion murder
TEXAS PUBLIC RADIO
Rep. Brent Money, a Greenville Republican, is the bill's sponsor. On Tuesday, his office told The Texas Newsroom he was surprised by the move and believed the measure, House Bill 2197, was a top priority for Republicans.
But HB 2197 saw recent pushback from even the state’s strongest supporters of abortion restrictions. Texas Alliance for Life — which describes itself as a “pro-life organization whose goals are to protect innocent human life from conception through natural death” — is one of them.
