Beto O’Rourke slams opponent Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) at Houston Women’s Reproductive Clinic as the state’s near-total abortion ban goes into effect today. The clinic where O’Rourke spoke previously offered abortion and other services for pregnant women in the state of Texas.

Horsham van with no exception for rape or incest. That is not us. That maybe Greg Abbott. It is not the people Texas. In fact, you all have reported that 82 percent of Texas, including 76 percent of Republicans in this great state opposed his total abortion ban, with no exception for rape, and no exception for incests. And I'm grateful to everyone who just spoke who made it, very clear that we're talking about the life and death of Texas, women in addition to protecting their freedom, their right, to make their own decisions about their own bodies. We are standing here today to protect their lives.
