Texas Senate passes sweeping new abortion restrictions
GO TEXAS!!!
State troopers reported confiscating “significant quantities” of tampons and feminine pads from protesters before they were allowed in, according to MyFoxDFW.com. Bottles of suspected urine, feces and paint were also confiscated.
The Texas Department of Public Safety said in a statement that they received a tip that protesters might use different items to disrupt the session, the station reported.
House Bill 2 would require doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals, allow abortions only in surgical centers, limit where and when women may take abortion-inducing pills and ban abortions after 20 weeks. Only five out of 42 existing abortion clinics meet the requirements to be a surgical center, and clinic owners say they can’t afford to upgrade or relocate.
