A Guest Post from Jane's Due Process

Dear Friends

As you may know a bill has been filed in the Texas Legislature that greatly affects the work we do at Jane's Due Process. HB 1212 purports to be a bill that will provide for "parental consent" before a teenage girl can terminate her pregnancy. It is much different, and I believe much more dangerous, than simply a parental consent bill. I have attached here some information on this legislation, as well as a PDF file of the bill.[PinkDome linked to the text] The provisions of this legislation go to the very heart of what we do at JDP and seemed especially designed to deny access to our clients.

Some of you may be poised to talk to our legislators about issues important to you and I believe this is one of those issues. This bill has been referred to the House State Affairs Committee. The information attached not only gives a few salient details but also a message that goes to the heart of this bill and our work at Jane's Due Process.

If you have questions about this bill, please contact Shelia Cheaney, Executive Director of Jane's Due Process.

Thanks for all you do to support JDP. CLICK FOR TALKING POINTS WORD DOC. Download file
