Legislation cracking down on chemical abortion pills was favorably reported out of a Texas House committee after backdoor negotiations were had between pro-life lobbyists and lawmakers, in the wake of a dustup between Republicans alleging attempts to kill the legislation.
The House State Affairs Committee met for a formal meeting on Monday evening to pass pending legislation, including state Rep. Jeff Leach’s (R-Plano) House Bill (HB) 7 that aims to curb the production and distribution of chemical abortion pills through civil liability and additional powers granted to the attorney general, after its public hearing on Friday.
