“Leaked video shows Hood County Constable Scott London, Hood County GOP Chair Steve Biggers and Hood County GOP Chair candidate Greg Harrell attending a meeting held by Abolish Abortion Texas where they supported the death penalty for women who seek abortions or use IVF, including pregnant minors. London and Harrel have also signed onto a pledge from the same group vowing to abolish all circumstances of abortion care in Texas. The video was obtained by Hood County Democrats Chair Adrienne Quinn Martin and took place at a True Texas Project chapter’s meeting in Granbury, Texas. The event was hosted by Monica Brown – who is known for her attempts to ban books she deems inappropriate – and originally streamed from her Facebook page in January.”

“Paul Brown, who is the Director of Policy for Abolish Abortion Texas (AATX) said that IVF is a form of abortion and that when a fertilized egg is destroyed it should be considered murder, saying ‘Their lives [women] don’t matter any more than the babies’ they are killing.’ Brown also said how the group is against basic contraception pointing to the emergency contraception pill Plan B, saying that it ‘terminates or kills a baby prior to implantation – which is an abortion’ Brown went on to say that they will ‘never be okay with abortions in the instance of incest or rape’ with several audience members suggesting that pregnant woman and doctors who perform abortions should be ‘held accountable’ to the highest extent of the law. The True Texas Project, which is a separate group that hosted the event, has hosted several events with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Senator Ted Cruz, was labeled as an extremist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and has deep ties to white nationalist Nick Fuentes,” says a press release from the Texas Democratic Party.
