Restore the Right to Choose in Texas

The Issue

Texas is in the midst of a reproductive rights crisis. The collapse of Roe v. Wade and the state's increasingly restrictive abortion laws have made safe, legal access nearly impossible for countless people. But banning abortion doesn’t eliminate it—it only eliminates safe options. Those with money can travel. Those without are left to face impossible choices, risk their lives, or carry pregnancies under conditions that violate their health, their autonomy, and their dignity.

Abortion is not a legal debate—it’s a personal decision. One rooted in individual values, beliefs, and circumstances that no lawmaker can fully understand. Turning it into a political battlefield denies the humanity of the people it impacts. Texans deserve healthcare guided by doctors and patients, not politicians chasing headlines or scoring ideological points.

It’s time to restore access. To build a future where every Texan—regardless of income, zip code, or background—can make decisions about their body and their future freely and safely. We demand state-level protections for abortion care, support for clinics providing compassionate services, and an end to laws that criminalize healthcare. This is about freedom. It always has been. Let’s make Texas reflect that truth.
