Texas Scorecard By Emily Wilkerson June 27, 2022
In light of the overturning of Roe, gubernatorial candidate O’Rourke says he would overturn Texas laws protecting preborn children. On Sunday at Pan Am Park, Democrat gubernatorial candidate Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke held a “reproductive freedom” rally alongside pro-abortion organizations. The rally followed a decision from the United States Supreme Court to overturn the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade, giving states the power to decide the legality of abortion.
In Texas, that means abortions—except for those to save the life of the mother—are now illegal.
During the rally, O’Rourke promised to support women in killing their own preborn children if he is elected governor.
“If this were about life, then gun violence would not be the leading cause of death of children and teenagers in the state of Texas,” O’Rourke said.
However, statistics show that more children have died at the hands of abortion than gun violence. In the United States, it was reported that 1,839 children and teens die from gun violence annually; in 2020 alone, 53,949 preborn children were murdered by abortion in Texas.
