Frankly, there’s no way the Texas law can be considered anything other than an undue burden. #StopTheSham

There is absolutely no logical, medical reason to suddenly require these clinics to meet the standards of hospitals. #StopTheSham

These laws are opposed by a host of leading medical groups, including the @AmerMedicalAssn and @acognews #StopTheSham

They know what kinds of skills and resources are necessary for an abortion - one of the safest medical procedures out there. #StopTheSham

I find it hard to believe that organizations of physicians would oppose any of these laws if they really did make clinics safer #StopTheSham

In Texas, the full implementation of H.B. 2 would force more than 75 percent of abortion clinics to close. #StopTheSham

If H.B. 2 is allowed to go into effect, only 10 clinics will remain to serve the 5.4 million Texas women of reproductive age. #StopTheSham
