According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasallianceforlife.org\/pro-life-accomplishments-of-the-texas-legislature-in-2017\/\">Texas Alliance for Life<\/a>, the bill:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Requires human trafficking hotline signs at abortion facilities and hospitals.<\/li>\n<li>Creates first degree felony (up to 99 years) for killing an unborn child of a minor girl who is a victim of sex trafficking.<\/li>\n<li>Creates enhanced penalties for assaulting a woman to force her to have an abortion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The bill&#8217;s sponsor is (surprisingly) Rep. <span class=\"TitleItem\">Senfronia Thompson<\/span>, a Democrat whom NARAL Pro-Choice Texas has <a href=\"http:\/\/prochoicetexas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/2016-Voter-Guide.pdf\">spoken in support of before<\/a>.\u00a0It is cause for celebration when two sides of the abortion issue are able to work on legislation which will benefit women, even if it may be perceived as an inconvenience to the abortion industry.<\/p>\n<p>While<a href=\"http:\/\/prochoicetexas.org\/blog\/2017\/06\/2017-legislative-wrap\/\">\u00a0NARAL Pro-Choice Texas <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/pptexasvotes.org\/85th-legislative-session-wrap-up-texas-fails-women-once-again\/\">Planned Parenthood Texas Votes<\/a> had much <a href=\"http:\/\/pptexasvotes.org\/meet-the-men-leading-the-attacks-on-womens-health-in-texas\/\">to complain about<\/a> for the 2017 session (which is good news for preborn Texans and their families), but strangely, as of June 18, neither pro-abortion group had mentioned HB 2552.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/petition\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-160409\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DefundAd-400b-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This omission is even more curious in light of the fact that during the 2015 session, <a href=\"http:\/\/prochoicetexas.org\/blog\/2015\/05\/why-rep-riddle-and-sen-campbell-want-to-require-human-trafficking-training-only-for-abortion-providers\/\">NARAL Pro-Choice Texas criticized those<\/a> wishing to address this same problem. NARAL&#8217;s Drew Stanley wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The good news is abortion providers\u00a0already provide\u00a0comprehensive training on human trafficking, domestic violence and coercion to their staff and clinic workers are devoted to assisting their patients in violent situations. The patients\u2019 personal safety is of the utmost concern, and they\u2019ve been doing one-on-one counseling sessions with their patients for years \u2013 they didn\u2019t need the state of Texas to mandate it. But if the Legislature is going to require this training, they should do so in a comprehensive way that is most likely to help the maximum amount of survivors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If abortion providers have really been doing this already, as Stanley claims, then why has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/what-we-do\/investigations\/child-sex-trafficking-cover-up\/\">Planned Parenthood been caught<\/a>\u00a0on camera,\u00a0willing to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/article\/443959\/planned-parenthood-child-sex-trafficking-crimes-still-unreported\">assist pimps rather than their underage victims<\/a>?\u00a0Why has Planned Parenthood failed to report the sexual abuse of underage girls, <a href=\"https:\/\/adflegal.org\/detailspages\/blog-details\/allianceedge\/2015\/09\/08\/new-adf-report-details-planned-parenthood%27s-history-of-failure-to-report-rape-of-young-girls\">as reports<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/what-we-do\/investigations\/sexual-abuse-cover-up\/\">investigations<\/a> have <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/how-planned-parenthood-fails-sex-trafficking-victims\/\">shown<\/a>?
