Abortion Policy in Texas

With an anti-abortion majority at the Supreme Court, the future of abortion access is in greater peril than ever. Anti-abortion lawmakers have pushed the most extreme bans in hopes of Roe v. Wade falling, but they don’t control our destinies — you do.

Together, we can take our power back right here at home, hold lawmakers accountable, and restore abortion access for all Texans.

Hold Them Accountable

This session, Texas lawmakers passed SB 8, the most extreme abortion ban in the country.

The Texas ban is unlike any ban ever filed or passed. It not only bans abortion before many people know they’re pregnant — it also allows any person, anywhere, to sue providers, abortion funds, and family members for any perceived violation of the ban.

SB 8 has no exceptions for rape, incest, or fetal anomaly. The ban is so far-reaching it would allow out-of-state anti-abortion groups to sue the family members of rape victims for driving a patient to a clinic.

Now more than ever, we need abortion access supporters like you to step up and fight for Texas. Become a sustaining supporter of Avow and make a commitment to deep organizing in key districts to hold anti-abortion lawmakers accountable and restore abortion access.
