Texas House Advances Bill to Severely Restrict Use of Abortion Pills
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Texas's Republican-controlled House of Representatives advanced a bill
Monday that would cut off access to abortion pills for people who are
more than seven weeks pregnant. Democratic Representative Donna Howard
of Austin spoke out against the legislation.

Rep. Donna Howard: "I'm really tired of every single session, having to
come here and debate one more obstacle to a woman having a right to
choose her own - what happens to her own body and her own destiny."
