This time by allowing doctors to lie to their patients. You see, if it turns out that a fetus has disabilities the doctor can instead lie to prevent the parents from opting to abort the fetus...
The final Senate vote on Tuesday split 21-9, largely along party lines. During an earlier period of debate on the Senate floor, Senator Jose Rodriguez (D-TX) expressed concern that the bill was simply a means of chipping away at women’s rights, The Houston Chronicle reports.
“It seems to be all about restricting and further limiting a woman’s right to exercise her choice as to what she’s going to do in the case of serious defects in the fetus, congenital defects in the fetus,” said Sen. Rodriguez.
SB 25 was not the only abortion bill to move quickly through the Texas Senate this week.
I'm sure that if they could just pass a ban on all abortions they would.
So, how many days was it that Texas wasn't an embarrassment to USA?

In the medical community, there are debates about when, if ever, it's okay to lie to a patient. But this? This can't be justified.
