The Texas Senate passed two Pro-Life bills from a committee Tuesday, an important step as the state seeks to save preborn babies from illegal abortion pills and help pregnant mothers. The Woman and Child Protection Act (SB 2880) and the Life of the Mother Act (SB 31) were amended by the committee and will likely be scheduled for a vote by the entire state Senate later this week.

The committee heard gripping testimonies in support of protections for women and preborn babies in March. A former abortion leader, a courageous teen mom who chose Life despite a life-threatening diagnosis for her baby, and many others testified alongside Texas Right to Life staff.

The Woman and Child Protection Act (SB 2880 & HB 5510) seeks to combat the growing threat of abortion pills being sent to Texas from other states and countries. If passed, the state will become the first to attack this developing underground abortion industry—setting a powerful example for the rest of the nation to follow. Pregnancy resource center workers and volunteers testified about the dangers these pills pose.

The Woman and Child Protection Act is one of Texas Right to Life’s two Pro-Life Priority Bills, with the Life of the Mother Act as a recommended bill. The Stop Tax-Funded Abortion Travel Act (SB 33 & HB 1806), which is Texas Right to Life’s second priority, already passed the Senate and is waiting to be heard in a committee in the House of Representatives.

The Life of the Mother Act (SB 31 & HB 44) ensures the Texas Medical Board develops and offers free training to doctors on how to treat pregnant women in emergencies and follow Pro-Life laws. This measure was amended by the committee to eliminate doctors’ confusion and fear from misleading media reports, without weakening Pro-Life laws. The truth is that Pro-Life protections and emergency care work in harmony.

Passing these bills is a crucial step in saving babies from illegal abortions and building a Pro-Life Texas. As senators prepare to vote on these policies, Texans must make their voices heard. Pro-Life advocates should contact their lawmakers today and urge them to stand for Life by supporting these critical measures.
