Okay, here we go. I'll live-Tweet 🧵: The Texas House is now taking up #SB8, a six week #abortion ban that amounts to a near-total ban. It would grant breathtaking authority to *anyone* interested in suing a provider or a group/person that "aids and abets" abortion care. #txlege

House companion bill #HB1515 author @ShelbySlawson is laying it out now. #SB8 #txlege
Now, debate starts. @DonnaHowardTX first up. She asked @ShelbySlawson if you can get pregnant on your period. Slawson replied that a "physician is better suited to answer the question." (Omg you cannot make this stuff up...) #txlege

Texas is trying to pass one of the most extreme abortion bans we’ve ever seen, completely under the radar. This bill would ban abortion as early as 6 weeks, *AND* allow anyone to sue Texans for providing abortions or helping their loved ones access abortion. #txlege #HB1515
The time it takes a person to become aware of a potential pregnancy, confirm the pregnancy, consider their options, schedule the procedure, AND comply with the existing restrictions on abortion in Texas...Many folks don't realize they're pregnant before 6wks. #txlege #HB1515
Random people should not be involved in our decisions. Letting random people sue means that a nosey neighbor could sue a parent for giving their kid a ride to a clinic. It’s so broad that it would even allow a rapist to sue their victim’s doctor + family members #txlege #HB1515
