The Texas Tribune:
“New Texas law increasing penalties for abortion providers goes into effect August 25”
July 26, 2022

Texas’ trigger law goes into effect this Thursday.
It’s called a trigger law because it’s “triggered” into effect by the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade . The law targets health care workers who provide abortion care and bans nearly all abortions with few exceptions. The provisions are extreme: Health care providers found to have violated the law could lose their medical license, be sentenced from five years to life in prison, and fined up to $10,000.
Extreme lawmakers in Texas (and across the country) have made it clear they won’t let up their efforts to take away our rights to make our own decisions about our bodies, our families, and our futures. Texas’ attorney general already sued the Biden Administration for its executive order protecting doctors providing abortions in emergencies.
Texas is ground zero for these attacks. That’s why I’m not giving up — frankly, it’s just not an option. In Congress, I’m working to protect our right to reproductive care and our ability to access it:

I
am
an
original
co-sponsor
of
the
Women’s
Health
Protection
Act
(WHPA)
to
create
a
statutory
right
to
abortion
in
all
50
states
using
the
framework
of
Roe
v.
Wade
,
which
the
House
passed
in
September
and
again
in
July.

I
introduced
a
bill
to
protect
patients
traveling
out
of
state
for
abortion
care
and
the
people
who
are
helping
them,
which
the
House
passed
in
July.

I
co-sponsored
and
voted
to
protect
access
to
contraception
—
a
right
only
eight
Republican
members
of
Congress
voted
to
protect!

I’m
working
to
make
sure
everyone
can
access
safe,
affordable
reproductive
health
care
from
providers
like
Planned
Parenthood.
I can take these votes, and we can pass these bills, because we have a pro-choice majority in Congress. We have to make sure we keep it.
What we are doing in Congress to protect reproductive rights in comparison to what anti-choice lawmakers are doing in Texas illustrates why elections matter so much. And why we can’t give up the fight.
Together, we can do anything,
