Which states' lawmakers have said they might copy Texas' abortion lawAfter the Supreme Court refused to block Texas' new restrictive abortion law as a legal challenge is being heard, other state lawmakers have said they'll mirror it. Severe for who? It will be nice to wake up in Texas and say wow i am not killing babies anymore because demons no longer have a law supporting murder of innocents anymore now its between the mom her dr and god as should be! Abortion was never to be used as birth control or selling fetal organs! Texas leads the way to ignorance and discrimination, and Republicans can proudly say that they have played a big part in bringing this about.
