Doctors, activists, and every Texan with common sense warned that this would happen if Texas Republicans went through with their extreme abortion ban that makes no exception for rape or incest.
There is no joy in this “I told you so.”

I will not rest until we win back the rights that GOP extremists stole from us.
I'm Julie Johnson, and I'm running for Congress in Texas’s 32nd District. Holding this seat is crucial in House Democrats’ fight to win back the majority.
