‼️ 🚨 Action Needed TODAY to Protect Access to Abortion - IN THE USA ‼️ 🚨
🚨 UPDATE: SB 6 is scheduled for a hearing 🚨
WATCH the hearing live here NOW: https://senate.texas.gov/av-live.php
On Saturday, Aug 9, 2025, an extremist TX GOP-run Senate State Affairs Committee announced a hearing this morning - Mon, Aug 11. They are meant to give 3 days notice for these hearing but snuck it onto the calendar to block us from responding and showing up to be heard...
This sweeping anti-abortion bill would let anyone sue anyone who helps a Texan access medication abortion, even in states where abortion is legal. Greg Abbott wants these bans to follow Texans across state lines and punish those who stand by us… This can quickly become a nation-wide abortion ban if they go back to the 5th Circuit Court here in TX and then up to the Supreme Court to make medical abortion pills illegal everywhere.
Here’s the bill’s page for more details.
What SB 6 Will Do:
Encourage extremists to sue anyone who helps a Texan access medication abortion, even in states where abortion is legal;
Strengthen enforcement tools for the Texas attorney general to fight access to life-saving abortion care; and
Help Extremist GOP Anti-Choicers take away the rights of all with uteruses to make choices about their own body and their family.
What YOU can do to block SB 6 TODAY:
🗣️ Tell the Senate to Oppose the Bill - CALL and EMAIL ALL of the committee members NOW
Judith Zafirini is the only Dem on the committee - definitely call her office too, making it clear that Texans want safe access to reproductive healthcare period
Here’s a script you can use to email and call Senators TODAY. This bill will be passed if we don’t block it!!
Dear Senator,
I’m writing to urge you to please vote AGAINST SB 6, every time you can. We must address the worsening maternal mortality crisis in Texas. All Texans deserve the right to make choices about their own body and their families. We should care about privacy and access to healthcare for all Texans, not dictate what anyone does with their body.
Please take swift action and BLOCK this BAD BILL that would negatively impact the women of Texas. Please focus on saving the lives of women.
And please focus on the flood response that was stated as the purpose of this special session.
Thank you for your leadership.
[Your Name and home city & state]
Know that the other side is working hard to get this scary bill to pass with their nationwide call for calls or support. Let’s flood TX Senate committee members with calls AGAINST this bill which will take more of our freedom away.
Ironically, I (Joey Cade), just wrote a newsletter about calling your Tx House Reps to support their quorum break. Now I hope to direct attention to this super hot issue. Please take a few minutes to make a CALL and email the committee members. There is likely to be another round of calls - if not 7 between now and the end of this session (7 days from now) - so please follow FEDDs, organizers, and Planned Parenthood TX Votes to stay in the know about what actions are called for.
Go, Team FREEDOM!! ✌️
