Texas is ready to ban abortion in the event that the Supreme Court reverses the landmark decision that legalized the killing of unborn babies in America.
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed House Bill 1280 on Tuesday, setting the stage for his state to act should Roe v. Wade fall.
“The most precious freedom of all is life itself. Today I signed #HB1280. Under this law, the moment Roe v. Wade is overturned abortions will be outlawed in Texas. Texas will always foster a culture of life,” Abbott tweeted.

“Our creator endowed us with the right to life. And yet, millions of children lose their lives every year before they are even born,” Abbott said before signing the bill.
“I am signing a law today that will save babies from the ravages of abortion. It is known as the ‘abortion trigger bill.’
“Under this law, the moment that Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortions will be outlawed in the state of Texas. Texas will continue to foster a culture of life,” Abbott said.

The law will take effect if the Supreme Court overturns Roe or if a constitutional amendment is passed giving states the authority to ban abortion, according to The Texas Tribune.
Medical professionals found violating the law could face life in prison or a $100,000 fine, the outlet reported.
I was proud to join Gov Abbott as he signed PRO-LIFE VICTORIES into law!
– SB 8 prohibits abortions after a baby's heartbeat is detected.
– HB 1280 immediately bans abortions in Texas if Roe v. Wade is overturned.

“The unborn child is the same whether the child is wanted by the mother or not wanted by the mother. The child is a member of the human species and deserves protection from the state of Texas, in our view,” said Joe Pojman, head of the Texas Alliance for Life.
“I believe all Texans deserve the opportunity to experience life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” state Sen. Angela Paxton, author of the accompanying “trigger” bill in the Texas Senate, said during a hearing on the measure, according to The Dallas Morning News.
In May, Texas passed what is known as a heartbeat bill that bans abortion after the heartbeat of an unborn baby is detected.
The heartbeat bill is now LAW in the Lone Star State.
This bill ensures the life of every unborn child with a heartbeat will be saved from the ravages of abortion.

“Our creator endowed us with the right to life, and yet millions of children lose their right to life every year because of abortion,” Abbott said in signing the bill, according to The Washington Post.
“In Texas, we work to save those lives. That’s exactly what the Texas Legislature did this session.”

Congratulations and kudos to you Governor Greg Abbott on HB1280. We need more Governors like you and DeSantis.
I don`t think anyone has made the claims I will here. Are you women that stupid you can`t read direction on the birth control bottle? The world doesn`t need anymore of your dumb hazzed children. What we need is border laws put back into effect. Checked out the shelves in the stores lately? Are Homosapiens no smarter than the Rats & Rabbits? I don`t think the human race is getting more intelegent. You feather heads who carry your blackberry in the back pocket of your bermuda shorts? You really do have your brains in your hazz.
God Bless Gov. Abbott and all those who are anti-abortion. How many more innocent little unborn babies and newly born babies do these murderers want to kill? Do they not understand that the day of reckoning is coming sooner than they think or even care? God open the eyes of these indoctrinated masses who think murder is ok. Judgement is coming and there will be no escape from it.
Why is it totally a women’s responsibility to take a pill which is bad for her health and cause side effects. If the men would keep their zipper up then we wouldn’t have 1/2 the problem. Having an abortion should be strictly up to the women, not politicians who don’t care about individual women. Or men who screw and run. It needs to be left entirely up to the women if she wants to have a kid since 1/2 the time she ends up taking care of it on her own.
right on i’ve always liked texas they have a history of not laying down and taking bull crap especially from this corrupt slimy communist Hitler run government in power today.well done Texas,more states need to follow your example and kick this corrupt government out of this country for good.
