Abortion opponents say pregnancy centers are a clear net positive to their communities. Amy O’Donnell, the executive director of Texas Alliance for Life, sees ultrasounds specifically as literal lifesavers.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick thanked Hughes in a statement after the bill was unanimously passed by the Texas Senate on April 29.
“Since 2021, abortions in Texas have essentially ceased,” Patrick said. “As a Christian and a conservative, I celebrate that tens of thousands of tiny Texans have been saved and that Texas has led the way in protecting life nationwide. SB 31, which is only designed to provide legal clarity for doctors in rare cases when a mother’s life is threatened, is supported by Texas Right to Life, Texas Alliance for Life, and other life groups. I thank Sen. Hughes for his continued passionate defense of life.”
