Texas Lawmaker’s Stance Raises Big Health Questions

Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General, hailed the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade as a triumph for his office—so much so that he declared an internal holiday. The celebration came at the cost of many Texans who lost control over their own bodies.

A Personal Tragedy

• Amanda Zurawski, Austin
• Water broke at 18 weeks.
• Doctors knew the pregnancy was no longer viable and that she risked a deadly infection.
• Because a fetal heartbeat was still detectable, hospital lawyers stopped any medical intervention.
• Amanda waited until she developed life‑threatening sepsis before treatment could begin, spending three days in intensive care.

Stories like hers have become all too common under Paxton’s policies.

Alarming Statistics

These numbers far exceed national averages and are avoidable with proper medical care.

The Bigger Picture

Paxton’s agenda focuses on controlling people’s bodies and futures. He has pushed to criminalize doctors who provide lawful care, turning the state government into an obstacle between women and their doctors.

What’s Next?

• Paxton now seeks a seat in the U.S. Senate, where he plans to extend this extreme approach nationwide.
• Texans need leaders who protect personal freedom, support families, and trust medical experts instead of politicians who prioritize bans over health.

In November, voters must reject Paxton’s dangerous policies and stop his bid for a Senate seat.
