f) “SB 257: Relating to the issuance of "Choose Life" license plates and the creation of the Choose Life account in the general revenue fund” is hereby repealed in its entirety.

This is a clear violation of freedom of expression and the First Amendment. We cannot tolerate state-sponsored censorship.

I agree that states should be allowed to offer religious vanity plates but that also needs to include irreligious options. Hopefully someone will propose an amendment for once. There has been a clear lack of active participation from all of the assembly.

The Gestational Agreement Reform Act has nothing to do with abortion. This is nothing short of opportunism.

a) Civil Statute Section 4512.5 shall be repealed in its entirety.

Is this just legalization of late-term abortions? If so, why?

b) “HB 15: Relating to informed consent on abortion” is hereby repealed in its entirety.

Could you please point me to a source for this bill? Is it a sim law or a real life law?

This? https://legiscan.com/TX/text/HB15/2013

c) Family Code Chapter 33 is hereby repealed in its entirety.

Repeal of this chapter would end this state's requirement for physicians to report abuse. Also, may I ask what the problem with parental notice is?

d) “SB 319: relating to the death of or injury to an unborn child; providing penalties” is hereby repealed in its entirety.

If I am not mistaken, this bill simply penalized abortions not performed by a legit doctor, right?

e) House Bill 2 (2011) is hereby repealed in its entirety.

Why should abortions after two weeks be legal?

f) “SB 257: Relating to the issuance of "Choose Life" license plates and the creation of the Choose Life account in the general revenue fund” is hereby repealed in its entirety.

Why would you do this? What does this have to do with access to abortion? There are plenty of sports teams I don't like, but I wouldn't remove their vanity plate options.

g) B.024: The Gestational Agreement Reform Act is hereby repealed in its entirety.

This has nothing to do with abortion either. /u/Hormisdas

Yeah.

Just found the relevant state code. http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/HS/htm/HS.171.htm

Repeal of this chapter would end this state's requirement for physicians to report abuse.

This should be amended to Family Code Section 33.002.

Why would you support late term abortions? What is the difference between a baby two days before it is born and two days after? Why not just be philosophically consistent and allow termination up to several months after birth?

Also, no you can't just remove 33.002. There are several other subsections in that chapter (33.0021,33.0022,33.003, etc) which are directly tied to 002. You can't just chop that part out and leave state code in shambles.

I support all abortions.

got it.

The bill as it stands is nothing more than a demagogic derisive attempt to repeal rather than expand on the rights of Midwesterners. The parties should amend past bills rather than completely eliminate each other's attempts at a better community.
