Our team did it again! 🩷😎 Yesterday, Rachel Wolleben testified in support of HB 1782—a key bill to expand access to breast & cervical cancer care for low-income Texas women. Raising the MBCC income limit means more women get lifesaving care! #TXLege #BreastCancerAwareness

It doesn’t go as far as what I’ve proposed and it doesn’t mean the fight for our reproductive rights is over — but SB 31 provides clarity that will save the lives of pregnant women. I joined Donna Howard, Ann Johnson & the medical community to reiterate our support.

Grateful for the leadership of Donna Howard, Texas Women's Health Caucus and others. Sometimes we have to make hard choices, and when we weigh those choices, we must prioritize saving lives. That’s why I am a co-author of HB 44. Onward with the fight to restore reproductive freedom.

Too many Texans have died under the Texas Abortion Ban. HB 44 will provide relief to Texas moms who face serious pregnancy complications by allowing physicians to act when it is medically necessary to. The fight for choice continues, but we have to fix what we can now. #txlege

"I'm testifying for this bill because I know it will help save women's lives." Doctors are speaking out. The Life of the Mother Act (HB 44) gives doctors the confidence to save lives without fear when treating pregnancy emergencies. Time to listen to medical experts. #txlege

HB 5510 would criminalize helping Texans access medication, create bounty hunter lawsuits with $100K+ penalties, and target online health resources. This dangerous bill affects healthcare providers, educators, and everyday Texans sharing information.

Anti-abortion bills could reduce production of essential medications. But Republicans don't care. Watch them admit their bill could result in increases in sepsis, maternal deaths, and infant mortality. This is what happens when extremism drives healthcare policy. #txlege

Proud to have passed the Summer Willis Act to ensure prosecutors have the necessary tools to provide justice to sexual assault survivors. This bill is now headed to the Senate. Thank you to Senator Senator Angela Paxton for carrying this bill in the Senate! fb.watch/zjtOlXPB2e/

📢BAD BILL ALERT: Tomorrow, the House State Affairs Committee will hear a dangerous anti-abortion bill that would prohibit local governments from providing logistical support to pregnant Texans accessing out-of-state abortion healthcare services. More info below. #txlege
