Texas Abortion Law Paradox
- Texas law defines an individual as a human being, including unborn children, from fertilization until birth.
- However, it has an exception where the homicide law doesn't apply if the mother commits the abortion.
Post-Roe Abortion Rates in Texas
- Despite Roe v. Wade being overturned, the same number of abortions occur in Texas, mainly through out-of-state pills and travel.
- Data on abortion pill shipments and out-of-state abortion reports show this trend.
Proposed Texas Bill
- Repeal Section 19.06 of the Texas Penal Code to remove the exception for mothers in the homicide law.
- Treat abortion like any other homicide, regardless of who commits it.
