That's easy.
I would have offered a bill to strike Texas Penal Code, Title 5, Chapter 19, Sec. 19.06., which was put there ten years ago by Rick Perry and the "pro-life" Republicans, which grants express "legal" permission to murder babies.
Sec. 19.06. APPLICABILITY TO CERTAIN CONDUCT. This chapter does not apply to the death of an unborn child if the conduct charged is:
(1) conduct committed by the mother of the unborn child;
(2) a lawful medical procedure performed by a physician or other licensed health care provider with the requisite consent, if the death of the unborn child was the intended result of the procedure;
(3) a lawful medical procedure performed by a physician or other licensed health care provider with the requisite consent as part of an assisted reproduction as defined by Section 160.102, Family Code; or
(4) the dispensation of a drug in accordance with law or administration of a drug prescribed in accordance with law.
Added by Acts 2003, 78th Leg., ch. 822, Sec. 2.02, eff. Sept. 1, 2003.
And, because at the same time they explicitly recognized that the child in the womb is an individual human person, voila, all abortions in Texas would be illegal.
Texas Penal Code, Title 1., Chapter 1., Sec. 1.07.
Sec. 1.07.
(26) "Individual" means a human being who is alive, including an unborn child at every stage of gestation from fertilization until birth.
(49) "Death" includes, for an individual who is an unborn child, the failure to be born alive.
All of which would be in perfect keeping, of course, with the laws of nature and nature's God, the principles of the Declaration of Independence, every clause of the stated purposes of the U.S. Constitution, and the explicit, imperative equal protection requirement of the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments.
I have been insistent for years that the state of Texas define personhood to include everyone from conception through natural death.
Even language by he evil court in Roe said that it holding would fail should the personhood of the unborn be established.
Under Planned Parenthood V. Casey I’m not so sure, although that decision at least allowed for some restrictions and regulation of abortion.
Why we haven’t gone straight to the heart of the issue which is “personhood” is beyond me.
Before you get all huffy,here is the deal.
If they pass the law you want a federal judge will throw it out the minuite Perry signs it. Then it's back to square ONE,and ALL the unborn chidren will be sacrificed on the alter of abortion.
