One bill would make June 24 Celebration of Life Day. That's the day the Supreme Court overturned Roe. v. Wade.
A summer controversy in Plano has sparked a new bill filed ahead of the upcoming legislative session in Texas. On the heels of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and the state’s anti-abortion laws taking effect, Brandy Bottone of Plano decided to take the HOV lane one day in late June. But, depending on who you ask, she was the only one in the car.
Bottone later gave birth to a healthy baby girl, according to WFAA, but the issue was reignited with the filing of House Bill 521 by Texas Rep. Briscoe Cain. This would solidify in state law that a pregnant person’s fetus counts as a second person, allowing them to use the HOV lane. Cain didn’t respond to requests for comment, but he also filed House Bill 522, which would make June 24 Celebration of Life Day. June 24 is the day the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.
Another one is House Bill 60, filed by Rep. Cody Vasut, which would require public school districts instructing grades K–12 to teach that “human life begins at conception and has inherent dignity and immeasurable worth from the moment of conception.”
