Happy Hour 156: Abortion On The Ballot, Part 2

The conversation on abortion rights and reproductive freedom in Texas has been freshly reinvigorated by the Texas Supreme Court's abject failure to protect pregnant Texans or even to provide guidance to Texas doctors facing pregnancy emergencies. We continue our six part series of conversations with influential Texas progressive women on this all-important issue, in this case gathering three guests, each for the first time: State Representative Gina Hinojosa has represented Austin in the Texas House since 2017, Abbie Kamin has served on the Houston City Council representing District C since 2020, and Dr. Sukh Kaur is one of the newest members of the San Antonio City Council, elected last June to serve District 1. Learn more about Rep. Hinojosa at https://house.texas.gov/members/member-page/?district=49. Learn more about Council Member Abbie Kamin at https://www.houstontx.gov/council/c/. And, learn more about Council Member Dr. Sukh Kaur at https://www.sa.gov/Directory/Departments/Mayor-Council/City-Council/D1/Biography. Note that the next installment in this series will be recorded LIVE next Thursday June 6 during the Texas Democratic Convention, featuring reproductive rights advocate Amanda Zurawski, former State Senator Wendy Davis, and U.S. Congressional nominee Michelle Vallejo! If you'll be in El Paso, please plan to arrive early enough to join us - we'll start at 5pm MOUNTAIN Time (6pm Central): https://progresstexas.org/blog/live-texas-democratic-party-convention-abortion-and-our-freedoms-2024 Thanks for listening!
