Texas’s new ‘bounty hunter’ bill gets blessing from key anti-abortion groups
HOUSTON CHRONICLE
Not all anti-abortion groups are on board with the bill. The most far-right group, Abolish Abortion Texas, says it doesn’t go far enough because it protects pregnant women from litigation, “thereby denying equal protection of the laws.” Texas’ abortion bans also protect the pregnant woman from liability.
“While there are some women who are coerced into abortion, the vast majority of women who obtain abortions are willfully choosing to murder their preborn children,” JR Haas, vice president of the group, said in a statement. “Our laws should deter everyone in Texas from murdering preborn children, whether they are third-party abolitionists, the fathers of the children, or the mothers of the children.”
