Progressives are watching as extremist lawmakers continue to promote their dangerous anti-abortion agenda at the expense of Texans’ public health, and we’re taking action.

Following the Texas House debate on the state’s budget on Wednesday evening, Progress Texas, NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, Planned Parenthood Texas Votes, and Deeds Action Fund have announced our anti-abortion electoral targets.

Anti-Abortion 2020 Targets

• Matt Shaheen, HD 66 (Collin County)
• Morgan Meyer, HD 108 (Dallas County)
• Jeff Leach, HD 67 (Plano, Allen, Richardson, Dallas and Collin County)
• Jonathan Stickland, HD 92 (Tarrant County)
• Matt Krause, HD 93 (Tarrant County) 

Vulnerable Republican lawmakers were emboldened in pursuing their dangerous anti-abortion agenda during the budget debate when they approved $90 million for the Alternative to Abortions program, which funnels money to Crisis Pregnancy Centers with no oversight or accountability.

These men are more interested in scoring cheap political points than listening to their constituents, a majority of which support abortion access for all.

Texans deserve to make their own health care decisions with the help of medical professionals, without extremist politicians getting in the way.

We vow to hold these legislators accountable for their actions, vote them out, and flip these districts in 2020.
