While Governor Rick Perry was signing the bill to ban late-term abortions and protect women’s health from shoddy abortion clinics, pro-abortion protestors screamed and shouted one last time.
As pro-life advocates attending the bill signing reporter on Twitter, some abortion activists were silently protesting while others were “yelling” outside the bill signing auditorium. Perhaps former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson put it best when she pointed the abortion activists to the scoreboard and said the pro-life side is winning.
Meanwhile, Cecile Richards, the head of the Planned Parenthood abortion business, promised legal action against the bill.
BREAKING: Perry signs #hb2. We believe parts of this law are unconstitutional & are working to stop it from taking effect. #standwithtxwomen
