Help Legislators Get the Message: It's Time to Fix the Texas Abortion Ban
Texans don’t have to agree on every abortion question to know that pregnant patients deserve the best care, and doctors deserve respect. Texas legislators should fix Texas’ abortion laws so they reflect our shared Texas values.
Unfortunately, many lawmakers are unwilling to acknowledge the Texas abortion ban goes too far. Women are risking death and lifelong health problems from pregnancy complications, while other women are afraid to get pregnant for fear they can’t get help if something goes wrong. And doctors are leaving Texas because they fear being accused of crimes for providing pregnancy care.
You can help legislators get the message!
Sign the postcard, and then invite your friends and family to add their names.
To make it easy, we’ve got two options:
1
Sign online—we’ll print out your postcard and deliver it to your legislator
Want more information about the issue? Visit our Reproductive Policy issue page for facts about Texas abortion policy, and download our one-pager to read and share!
2
Order hard-copy cards and mail them back to us—we’ll pay the postage and deliver them to legislators
Your postcards will come with a toolkit to help you recruit signers: you’ll get one-pagers on the issue; instructions on how to get the postcards back to us; and suggestions for ways to use the postcards to generate further action. And of course we’ll be available to answer any questions!
Let’s Talk About the Texas Abortion Ban: Host a Common Concerns Coffee
Self-facilitated discussions using our discussion guides
It’s an important time for Texans from across the political spectrum to talk with each other about reproductive health policy…but it’s often hard to know where to start. Texas Impact has developed programming to support individuals and groups that want to engage in intentional conversations about the Texas abortion ban and related reproductive policy issues.
The program, “Common Concerns: Shared Stories for Texas Women,” provides resources and optional facilitation for small group discussions. Our Common Concerns initiative is an opportunity for you to learn, discuss, and find out what you can do to work to strengthen reproductive policy in Texas.
