The Senate has passed seven Pro-Life measures, including both Pro-Life Priorities, while the House has passed ZERO Pro-Life bills. NO Pro-Life Priority has made it to the governor. Meanwhile, an estimated 30,000 preborn Texans are still being killed by abortion each year. This continues due to lethal abortion pills being mailed into Texas and cities like Austin and San Antonio using taxpayer dollars to fund abortion travel. The House must act quickly to save Texas babies before time runs out.
Here is where each Pro-Life bill currently stands in the legislative process.
| Pro-Life Priority Bills |
|---|
| 1. Woman and Child Protection Act (WCPA) ⚠️ HB 5510 by Rep. Leach: Pending in the House State Affairs Committee ✔️ SB 2880 by Sen. Hughes: Passed out of the Senate Texas’ biggest Pro-Life battle is against abortion pills—around 19,000 annually. The WCPA will expand the Texas Heartbeat Act’s civil enforcement mechanism to target distributors. This proven legal tool, which provided the strongest protections for preborn children, must now be broadened to stop illegal abortion pill trafficking. This bill will also allow women or their families to bring wrongful death lawsuits on her behalf if she is harmed by an abortion. |
| 2. Stop Tax-Funded Abortion Travel Act ⚠️ HB 1806 by Rep. Noble: Scheduled to be heard in the House State Affairs Committee on May 7 ✔️ SB 33 by Sen. Campbell: Passed out of the Senate The cities of Austin and San Antonio are spending Texan’s tax dollars on abortion travel. This bill would block Texas cities from this horrendous action of giving tax money to abortion assistance organizations. |
State representatives must co-author both of these bills to help get them across the finish line!

Dear Representatives,
I kindly urge you to prioritize and pass the Woman and Child Protection Act (HB 5510/SB 2880) and the Stop Tax-Funded Abortion Travel Act (SB 33/HB 1806). Right now, there are still 30,000 preborn Texans killed each year due to abortion pills entering Texas and out-of-state abortion travel. These two measures must be passed immediately to give Texas new tools to stop abortion pill traffickers from mailing these lethal drugs into our state. They will also block liberal cities like Austin and San Antonio from using Texans’ tax money to fund out-of-state abortion travel.
Please stand for Life and protect mothers and babies from abortion by passing these bills immediately.
