The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Chelsey Youman regarding Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s signing Wednesday of HB 7, a bill that protects women and their unborn children from abortion drug traffickers who illegally mail the drugs into the state:
“Texas is setting an example by protecting vulnerable women and their unborn children from predatory abortion drug distributors. Sadly, Texas leads the nation in victims of abortion-drug trafficking. HB 7 sends a clear message—stop preying on our mothers and ending the lives of their children. We are grateful to have supported Chairmen Jeff Leach and Bryan Hughes as they led HB 7 with compassion and courage. Gov. Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, and Speaker Dustin Burrows tirelessly prioritized women and children throughout the special sessions. Texas will be a safer place because of their leadership.”
