On the latest OnTheIssuesPod, DonnaHowardTX breaks down the legislative power struggle happening now in the Texas legislature—and just how crucial the bills being debated are:
The most extreme of the Republican party has been able to select who is on the ballot, and by virtue of their being a one party state, that is the de facto winner in November in the general election.And I want to come back to that. Because there would be some that say, Well, why not vote them out, but I want to come to you, Roxy, and then I’m going to come back to that question.
In this case, state’s not involved. Instead, they’ve deputized, basically, anyone anywhere, to file a lawsuit against somebody who they believe has aided and abetted an abortion after six weeks gestation. And here we could be talking about when somebody is in an Uber or Lyft, or a friend is giving a ride to someone to go to a clinic to terminate a pregnancy. That’s correct.
And then all the restrictions that are in place that you have to have 24 hour ahead of time, an appointment where you get a transvaginal sonogram, and then you have to come back, you know, 24 hours later, and all kinds of obstructions that make it extremely difficult for especially, especially people who are marginalized and find themselves pregnant and in a position where they do not want that pregnancy. And yet, they have all of these expenses and obstacles that they have to incur.
Texas state Rep. Donna Howard and colleagues meet with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand on July 14 to discuss voting rights. (
