Inside the Fight for Fairness

โ€œThis isnโ€™t protection. It is surveillance, suppression, cruelty, and state-sanctioned suffering.โ€
— Kaitlyn Kash
โ€œThese are questions for doctors, not lawyers, not politicians, because abortion is health care.โ€
— Lauren Miller
โ€œโ€œTexans want privacy, access to healthcare, and your hands off our bodies.โ€โ€
— Shelby Evans
โ€œAny normal American can read this bill and know clearly the intentโ€ฆ and avoid violation very easily.โ€
— Rep. Candy Noble

SB 2880 is a direct attack on your rights-it could criminalize providers, helpers, and even pregnant Texans. If this passes, no one will be safe! And itโ€™s designed to be almost impossible to challenge. ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ช-๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฑ-๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—ผ. ๐—ง๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜ƒ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ก๐—ข ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐—• ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿด๐Ÿด๐Ÿฌ! #txlege #ReproductiveRights #WomensRights #TexasPolitics #WakeUpTexas โ™ฌ original sound - Olivia Phillips
