Sylvia Rodriguez Garcia said "We are witnessing the barbaric consequences of the draconian laws that extreme MAGA Republicans are imposing on the State of Texas. Over 26,000 women have become pregnant after being raped since Texas outlawed abortion with no exceptions. Let me repeat that: 26,000 women. This could be your daughter, sister, cousin, niece, or mother. Experiencing sexual assault is one of the hardest things that a woman can heal from. Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans have made it a mission to trap women, destroy their plans and goals, and ultimately chain them to their trauma for the rest of their lives. No woman should be shamed for what they have been through. I will continue to fight for reproductive rights and make sure that no woman should be afraid to make the decisions that are right for her. I will always fight for people over politics. ___________________
