Pregnant women in Texas are dying at a rate higher than other states.

[surfered]

Pregnancies sometimes go bad, but doctors in Texas must wait until the expectant mother is near death before intervening. Sometimes, they wait too long. It’s not their fault, it’s the fault of a poorly written law.

I first thought of the constitutional amendments proposed in other states. Why can’t Texas citizens get an abortion rights initiative on the ballot?

The reason is that amending the Texas constitution requires a joint resolution approved by a two thirds vote of the members of the Legislature.

Even though only 12% of Texans believe abortion should be Illegal, the GOP control of the Legislature will prevent any such amendment from succeeding.

Our only recourse is to vote out the GOP state legislators and replace them with members who would protect the lives of women.
