Texas state lawmakers considered a controversial bill this week that would criminalize all abortions and charge women who have them illegally with homicide, a crime punishable by the death penalty.
The "Abolition of Abortion in Texas Act," introduced by Republican Rep. Tony Tinderholt in January, had its first committee hearing on Monday and Tuesday, with around 500 individuals testifying. Of those, 446 witnesses voiced their support for the proposed legislation while 54 made statements against it.
It isn't the first time Tinderholt has proposed such a bill. The state congressman introduced a similar bill in 2017 that never left the committee. At the time, the proposal was so controversially received, Tinderholt was placed under state protection due to death threats.
"A living human child, from the moment of fertilization on fusion of a human spermatozoon with a human ovum, is entitled to the same rights, powers, and privileges as are secured or granted by the laws of this state to any other human child," the bill, which aims to "protect rights of an unborn child," reads.
In a statement posted to Facebook, Republican Rep. Matt Krause, a member of the Texas House Committee on Judiciary and Civil Jurisprudence, noted that "this is the first legislative hearing since 1973 on this topic."
If passed, the bill will criminalize abortions at all stages of pregnancy. Women who undergo the procedure and physicians who perform or facilitate them could be charged with homicide, a crime which is punishable by death in Texas. It takes a special kind of idiot to vote a clod like this into office and sadly their are far too many of those idiots in Texas.

Sorry for your viewpoint of a human being. That's what 'abortion' is, killing a human being, not just a 'mass-of-cells.'

Your title used the word Sharia, which most USA citizens have no clue to what that is either. I discuss it on my web page: https://americanjihad101.wordpress.com

Abortion is execution of innocent human life.

I don’t know. It’s useless.

Only in cases of rape could there be "forced motherhood". Otherwise, it's voluntary motherhood. If two people have sex without any form of birth control, it's a choice. Choices have consequences.
