I just spoke to a voter whose close friend is an OBGYN. Because of the Texas #TriggerBan on abortion in effect today, hospital legal had a meeting where they were told—under no uncertain terms—that they are to let mothers die rather than perform life-saving abortions.
Our twice indicted AG, Ken Paxton, is fighting against emergency abortion procedures and right now he’s succeeded.
Y’all. Barring privilege in moving, HR 705 has already been introduced in the U. S. House. It’s a federal version of the Texas 6 week abortion ban. My opponent is a cosponsor. He’s also bankrolling anti choice Rs across the country. Federal ban=plan
I know this all seems incomprehensible, and there’s a lot of debate between what is ethical and what is legal while untested, and while Paxton’s litigation continues.
It’s almost like…well, it’s almost as if government should not be interfering with our reproductive freedoms.

Today as I reflect on the sacrifices that so many men, women and families made for the freedoms that we all enjoy, I am thinking fondly of family and friends who have both served and returned home, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. 1/ #MemorialDay2022#txcd2
But my thoughts keep returning to my great-Uncle, my grandmother's brother, Henry Lawless. Uncle Henry was killed during World War II. 2/
Clearly, I did not know Uncle Henry, but my grandmother spoke lovingly about him. She was there the day that the telegram arrived saying he had been killed in action. She was deeply affected by that experience. 3/
