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

This also means that well-funded, out-of-state extremist groups would be able to target and sue abortion providers, abortion funds, and their donors over and over again, forcing them to deplete resources until they shut down. This is gross and horrifying. #txlege #HB1515
