AUSTIN (Nexstar) — Following the leaked opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court, reported by Politico, Texas Democrats hope the potential decision to overturn Roe v. Wade could potentially drive more voters to the polls this year.

The high court’s opinion, if it remains the same when it comes time to release the final decision, would allow states to set their own abortion laws.

Here in Texas, that would set off a trigger law, House Bill 1280, passed by state lawmakers last June.

“It’s an attack on the women of Texas. There’s no more direct way to put this, not only is it an attack on the right to an abortion, it’s been protected, the law of the land for the last 49 years,” Democratic candidate for governor Beto O’Rourke said in his first interview since the news of the leak Tuesday.

The trigger law would take effect 30 days after Roe v. Wade is officially overturned.

About this event
Join us in Houston as we urgently organize for abortion rights in Texas. If the Supreme Court says that it’s up to states to decide this critically important issue, then we must elect state leaders who will protect every woman’s right to a safe, legal abortion. We have to win these races — there is no other option.

Meet Beto and your fellow Texans at Discovery Green this Saturday at 11:00 a.m. CT as we stand up, speak out, and fight for our rights. Together, we are going to make our voices heard — and make sure that we all do the work necessary to elect leaders in Texas who understand that every person deserves the freedom to make their own decisions about their own body, health care, and future.

By attending this event, you understand and accept the risks associated with COVID-19, and agree to follow Beto for Texas’ instructions.

This event will be outdoors. Please keep an eye on the weather and plan accordingly.
