For some disturbing, demonic reason, one of the first things Democrats focus on when gaining power is making it easier to kill babies in the womb and mutilate vulnerable children.
We saw it in Virginia, where voters approved a constitutional amendment on election day that embeds a “fundamental right” to abortion up until the moment of birth, after pro-abortion groups spent millions of dollars on advertising.
Now that Democrats have captured Texas, killing babies is a high priority.
Mere days after Democrats flipped the Texas House, they filed a series of bills aimed at the state’s most vulnerable population.
Texas HB 126, filed November 9, 2026, by Rep. Donna Howard, D-Austin, is a broad omnibus bill titled “relating to repealing or replacing medically unnecessary and outdated health care restrictions.”
The bill would repeal the Texas Heartbeat Act (SB 8, 2021), the 2022 “trigger ban” (Chapter 170A), and the 1925 pre-Roe statutes.
The ‘trigger ban’ was written to automatically take effect if the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which happened in June of 2022. The trigger ban then took effect on August 25, 2022, and is currently codified as Chapter 170A of the Texas Health and Safety Code. It prohibits knowingly performing, inducing, or attempting an abortion at any stage of pregnancy from fertilization onward.
The Heartbeat Act currently prohibits abortions after detection of cardiac activity, typically around 6 weeks, and is enforced through private civil lawsuits.
HB 126 goes far beyond just the Heartbeat Act. It also includes repealing dozens of other abortion-related restrictions such as parental consent/judicial bypass for minors, waiting periods, mandatory ultrasounds/sonograms, facility licensing rules, restrictions on abortion-inducing drugs, partial-birth and dismemberment abortion bans, and more.
It also plays word games with what abortion is, ending the life of a child, by redefining abortion in statute as a “medical intervention provided to individuals who need to end the medical condition of pregnancy” and removing the previous reference to the death of an unborn child.
It would also open the door to the permanent, life-altering mutilation of children by repealing the 2023 ban on gender-affirming care for minors (SB 14 / Subchapter X of Chapter 161, Health and Safety Code), which currently restricts puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and certain surgeries for minors.
Democrat Nathan Johnson, the incoming Texas Attorney General, has promised to make it easier to kill babies by stopping the state’s current practice of suing out-of-state doctors who mail abortion pills to Texas patients.
He also said he will stop using Texas abortion laws as a tool of “persecution, intimidation, harassment, and political showboating.”
