Advocates and state lawmakers are voicing their opinions and concerns about several bills regarding abortions in Texas.
In all, the Texas Senate has passed six bills restricting access to abortion this legislative session. The bills need to be passed by the Texas House of Representatives and signed by Gov. Greg Abbott to become law.
The bills range from banning abortion altogether to mandating pre-abortion counseling:
Senate Bill 8 would ban abortions after a heartbeat is found.
Senate Bill 9 would ban abortions entirely, but only if federal court overrides Roe v Wade
Senate Bill 394 would prohibit anyone who isn’t a doctor to provide abortion-inducing drugs
