Legislation requiring that high school students be informed of all adoption-related resources available in Texas is now law, after passage during the 89th regular legislative session and being signed by Gov. Greg Abbott.
Authored by Sen. Phil King (R-Weatherford) and carried by Rep. Terri Leo Wilson (R-Galveston) in the lower chamber, Senate Bill (SB) 1207 aims to present students with an “alternative” solution for teen pregnancy by informing them of “the benefits of adoption and the different kinds of adoption available,” as Leo Wilson described to The Texan.
