Today is voucher day in the Texas House. Due to this fight, State Rep Gonzalez has to postpone our meeting.
Keep those questions coming
A stylized graphic shows multiple raised fists in shades of pink and red layered within the silhouette of a woman's head, symbolizing solidarity and empowerment. Bold white text across the center reads: “Texan Women DESERVE MORE.” At the bottom, against a black banner, text reads: “State Representative Ana-María Rodríguez Ramos, House District 102” Contact information is listed: (512) 463-0454 TEXASREPRAMOS.INFO DISTRICT102.RAMOS@HOUSE.TEXAS.GOV
A similar background of raised fists with a semi-transparent white overlay. Bold headline text reads: “HB 44 & SB 31 could put Texans at risk.” The body text continues: “These bills intend to protect doctors from prosecution when they perform abortions in emergencies. But since it amends part of a pre-Roe abortion statute from 1925, legal experts warn it could reactivate that century-old ban — putting patients and anyone who supports them at risk of prosecution.” The bottom includes the same black banner with Representative Ana-María Rodríguez Ramos’s name and contact info.
The same background and layout as image 2. The headline reads: “Extremist intentions and interpretations” Body text states: “Anti-abortion extremists have argued in court that under the 1925 law, abortion funds and even patients themselves could be criminally liable. HB 44 & SB 31 are being pushed with support from similar anti-abortion leaders whose stated goal is to expand prosecutions.” The same black banner with the representative’s contact details appears at the bottom.
A call-to-action message appears over the same background. Large bold text at the top reads: “CALL TO ACTION” next to a megaphone icon. Body text says: “HB 44 & SB 31 takes strides to provide clarity and help pregnant Texans, but it needs to be strengthened. Call your Representative, and tell them: To protect Texans, HB 44 & SB 31 must be amended to clearly state that the pre-Roe abortion ban cannot be used to punish pregnant people and those who support them.” Below is a bolded web link: wrm.capitol.texas.gov The standard black banner with Ana-María Rodríguez Ramos’s name and contact info appears at the bottom.
HB 44 and SB 31 aim to clarify Texas’s dangerous abortion laws, but as written, they could unintentionally open the door to prosecution of pregnant people and those who support them.
We must work to protect all Texans from criminalization while upholding our rights to care and compassion. #txlege

Greg Abbott claims his private school voucher scam will help working families.
But when I questioned the bill author, he admitted that it would give $1.2 million in taxpayer funds to Elon Musk.
Vouchers are welfare for the wealthy.
