Texas Republicans Call For Execution of Women Who Receive Abortions, IVF In Horrifying Video
Texas Republican officials seen in meeting with extremist group calling for death penalty for abortion

In what may be some of the most horrifying footage yet from the extremist forced-birth movement, undercover video from Hood County, Texas Democrats Chair Adrienne Quinn Martin shows several Hood County Republican officials attending a presentation by Abolish Abortion Texas (AATX), a group that advocates for the death penalty for abortion and IVF, including for pregnant minors.
Hood County Constable Scott London, Hood County GOP Chair Steve Biggers and Hood County GOP Chair candidate Greg Harrell are seen at a meeting featuring AATX hosted by the group True Texas Project, which has been labeled as an extremist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and has ties to white nationalist Nick Fuentes. True Texas Project has hosted events with Ted Cruz and disgraced Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Paul Brown, Director of Policy for AATX, can be seen saying at the meeting, "[Women's lives] don’t matter any more than the babies they are killing."
In one segment of the video, Brown states that In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments for infertile couples, which have an 86% approval rating among the American public, should also be considered abortion, and those who engage in these treatments should be charged with murder.
"Other forms of abortion...would include IVF," Brown is seen saying to the audience, "when a fertilized egg is created and is often times destroyed. Those that do are terminating or destroying a human life."
These religious nutjobs are seriously fucked in the head. People like this have no business in politics.
This is horrifying! 😱
