Those at Saturday's rally at the State Capitol advocated against legislation they say hurts minority communities, LGBTQ and women's rights and educational debates.
Texas House Democrats and community leaders held a rally at the State Capitol Saturday advocating against legislation they say hurts minority communities. This includes topics on LGBTQ rights, women's rights, and educational debates.
"The Republican Party has prioritized threats to our democracy and our civil rights," State Rep. Donna Howard said. "The progress we have made for our most marginalized groups over decades of struggle will not be erased. We must refuse to go back, and we won't go back.". Kaitlyn Kash says she's one of the many women who were affected. Her child's bones weren't developing correctly.
"Senate Bill 8 had gone into effect just 37 days before this appointment, and I knew I couldn't get an abortion in Texas, but it never dawned on me that my doctor wouldn't even say it out loud," she said. "I left the state to end my child's suffering before it could begin."The couple warns Texas' abortion law is having devastating consequences for families like theirs."The highest of highs devolved into the lowest of lows in an instant," she said.
"There are hundreds of facilities in the State of Texas that are ready to support women, that are ready to support unborn children, regardless of their circumstances, and once they are born," Jonathan Saenz with Texas Values said in 2021.
