AUSTIN, Texas – 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 (AATX) 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”

This is video I put together from a 2 hour meeting held in Granbury. If you want to know where the “ pro-life” movement is headed, watch this. Warning, it is disturbing. Many of our elected officials were in attendance. Including school board, constables and at least one county commissioner. Not one person pushes back or questions an agenda that advocates women possibly receiving the death penalty for abortion, including pregnant minors.

4. So, very Prolife, NOT

Especially to those who are already living breathing human beings which just so happens to be female and are the only humans that can actually give birth.


Jesus and god weeps for those who are trapped by the willful ignorance of a very small number of people who are dead set in ramming their religion down our throats.

They don't deserve to live in a civil society.

7. These people have zero understanding of science and how IVF works.

They are under the misconception (ha) that every embryo represents the potential to be a child.

NOT SO!

Most embryos (now) are tested for genetic viability. Most embryos don't have the chance to develop into tomatoes, much less humans.
Nature is incredibly wasteful, all kinds of beginnings are faulty and go nowhere.

These embryos they are crying about have no viability.

They want to kill women over what is really the genetic equivalent to alphabet soup!!

Just some basic reading and fact-finding questions would set them straight but they want to be ignorant.
