A group of Democratic representatives, including Reps. Bowman, Allred, Norcross, Veasey, Quigley, Goldman, and Sykes, have publicly stated their opposition to recent anti-abortion legislation, which they argue is part of the GOP's top priority to push for a nationwide abortion ban. These bills, criticized for limiting reproductive freedom and misinforming pregnant women, aim to protect anti-abortion centers and restrict access to abortion and contraception information. The ACLU recommended voting no on these bills. Rep. Brian Babin, however, supported the legislation, which he claims upholds pro-life values by supporting pregnant women and funding pregnancy support centers. The legislation in question includes the Pregnant Student Rights Act, which opponents say discriminates against students who miscarry or seek abortions at federally funded institutions, and funding for 'Crisis Pregnancy Clinics', described as anti-abortion propaganda centers.
This week, I voted against extreme anti-abortion legislation that would take critical assistance away from struggling families to fund unregulated anti-abortion centers. Read my full statement here: https://t.co/jdQ8yjpKlv

So-called ‘Crisis Pregnancy Clinics’ are anti-abortion propaganda centers masquerading as health care. For years, the GOP has worked to fund these 'clinics.' They tried again this week. I proudly voted no and will always vote against measures that undermine access to abortion.
The GOP passed a dangerous anti-choice bill this week. The Pregnant Student Rights Act specifically discriminates against students who miscarry or wish to have an abortion while at federally funded institutions.
The ACLU recommended we vote no on yesterday’s #ProLife bills, claiming they undermine reproductive freedom by supporting pregnant women and funding pregnancy support centers. Can you get any more anti-life? A truly evil agenda - I voted YES for these crucial bills. https://t.co/0FxGeTGApQ
The GOP's top priority is eroding reproductive freedom, playing political games, & sneaking signals to their extreme anti-abortion base that they still share their vision: a nationwide abortion ban. Not on my watch. That is why I voted against these bills this week. https://t.co/V4ilUYbmDj
These bills do nothing to protect or support pregnant women and students. Instead, they funnel federal dollars to anti-abortion clinics, misinform and endanger pregnant women, and march us towards the @HouseGOP goal of a nationwide abortion ban. That's why I voted NO. https://t.co/L8XkxjMMeH
Texas’s cruel abortion ban is already denying women the health care they need and causing unnecessary suffering. That's why yesterday, I voted against two harmful pieces of anti-abortion legislation that would further limit women’s freedom over their own medical choices.
Yesterday, I voted against bills to protect anti-abortion centers and prevent students from accessing information about abortion and contraception. Everyone deserves information about all of their reproductive care options and the freedom to make the best choice for them.
