Take Action Now! “War On Woman Bill” Filed By Texas House Member, Wants To Erase “Woman,” Replace With “Pregnant Individual” 

This week, Texas House member James Talarico (D-Austin) filed two egregiously pro-abortion bills for the upcoming 88^th Legislative Session. Known as the most radical member of the Texas House, Representative Talarico authored a bill that would repeal all Texas pro-life laws and would delete the word “woman” from certain parts of state law, replacing it with the word “pregnant individual”.  Yes, a Texas House member wants to redefine who can get pregnant and erase women from state law on this issue.

The bill is HB 819 and would effectively repeal the Human Life Protection Act that returned Texas to its pre-Roe statutes. The bill also specifically repeals the ability to receive remedies provided by the Texas Heartbeat Law.

Rep. Talarico also filed yesterday a house resolution, HJR 56, that would amend the Texas Constitution so that it would prohibit the Texas Legislature from passing any future pro-life laws. The constitutional amendment would have to be voted on in the November 7, 2023 election. On social media, Talarico praised the states who recently voted against constitutional amendments to protect life in November.

These two radical initiatives proposed by Rep. Talarico that would promote abortion and erase “woman” from our laws is just another reason why the Texas Values team will be at the Texas Capitol every day of the Texas legislative session, to fight bad laws being presented in the Texas legislature. We must work to protect the progress we have made on making Texas a pro-life state and continue to fight attempts to promote the dangerous gender ideology by erasing biological sex.
