Radical Baby Killer Supporters Attack Pro-Life Rally in Austin
AUSTIN, TX – Peaceful pro-life advocates demonstrated at the Texas State Capitol Saturday in Austin in support of the new Texas Heartbeat Law, which was signed by Governor Abbott on May 19. The pro-life demonstration took place concurrent with a large, pro-abortion protest of the Law organized by Planned Parenthood and its pro-abortion allies.
During the demonstration, outraged protestors interacted with the peaceful pro-life advocates. In one instance, a pro-abortion protester confronted the pro-lifers, screaming obscenities at Sarah Zarr, Texas and Southern Regional Manager for SFL/SFLAction, who organized the Heartbeat Celebration. The woman accused Zarr of being “a murderer” multiple times.
The Republican-led Legislature passed a bill to almost immediately outlaw abortions in Texas if the U.S. Supreme Court reverses Roe v. Wade, the 1973 case that legalized abortion.
Called a âtriggerâ law, House Bill 1280 would take effect 30 days after the Supreme Court overturned the Roe decision or after a court ruling or constitutional amendment gave states the authority to prohibit abortions.
The billâs passage comes days after Gov. Greg Abbott signed one of the strictest abortion laws nationwide, and as a Supreme Court ruling on abortion â the first from its newly expanded conservative majority â is looming.
âWith a pro-life lawsuit heading to the conservative SCOTUS this bill and a favorable ruling would make Texas one of the first states to end abortions,â the billâs author, state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, said on Twitter.
