With the start of the state's legislative session a little over a month away, lawmakers have filed a number of bills regarding abortion access.
To Democratic State Senator Nathan Johnson of Dallas, there's an urgent need to change the state's abortion law, which bans most abortions with the exception to save the mother's life. Johnson has proposed a bill that would repeal a Texas abortion law still on the books from 1925. It calls for women to be prosecuted if they have an abortion.
He said another reason he wants to repeal the 1925 law is because of a provision that makes it illegal for someone to help someone obtain an abortion. Republican Representative Candy Noble of Murphy filed legislation that would prohibit government entities from providing logistical support for those obtaining an abortion out of state - including childcare, travel, food, and lodging.
