Texas:

Pro-life Rep. Jeff Leach killed the Abolition of Abortion in Texas Act in 2019 because he believes the mother should never face any legal repercussions for killing her child: https://christiannews.net/2019/04/10/texas-chairman-kills-bill-to-outlaw-abortion-for-criminalizing-women-involved-in-murdering-their-babies/

Jeff Leach was given Texas Alliance for Life’s Courageous Defense of Life award the same year: https://freethestates.org/2020/05/national-right-to-life-endorses-greg-mccortney/

Texas Alliance for Life opposes abolition on the same grounds, but also because, in their view, “We could no sooner defy SCOTUS than we could defy the force of gravity: https://freethestates.org/2019/03/supreme-court-idolatry-at-texas-alliance-for-life/

Pro-life Rep. Stephanie Klick killed the Abolition of Abortion in Texas Act in 2021 by telling lies about what was in the bill, even after being corrected by the bill’s drafters: https://abolishabortiontx.org/2021/04/21/responding-to-misinformaton-about-hb-3326/

Klick was promptly called a “pro-life hero” by Texas Right to Life. Like in Leach’s case, the pro-life organizations circled the wagons around the pro-life politicians who prevent abolition. That’s their strategy: https://www.texasrighttolife.com/representative-stephanie-klick-is-a-hero-for-preborn-babies-vulnerable-patients/

Idaho:

Pro-life Rep. Bryan Zollinger says, “It’s pretty well accepted that the supreme court is the final say of what’s constitutional… I don’t see any way to get around that unless we went nullification and we all know that doesn’t happen in reality.” He says this despite the fact that he supported State Sovereignty Responsibility Act two years prior: https://freethestates.org/2020/03/pro-life-idaho-state-rep-nullification-doesnt-happen-reality/

Pro-life Senator Fred Martin says the bill to abolish abortion in Idaho would “destroy the Pro-Life Movement”: https://freethestates.org/2019/03/idaho-senator-fred-martin-abolition-pro-life-destroys/
