Roland Gutierrez on Abortion

 

 


Voted NO on abortion ban with no rape & incest exceptions

Opposition Summary by ACLU (8/29/22): In Texas, a pair of laws together ban abortion at all stages of pregnancy, without exceptions for rape or incest, and with narrow exemptions for the life and health of pregnant people: SB 8 outlaws abortion around six weeks of gestation. HB 1280 creates harsh criminal penalties for providers and doctors for performing or aiding abortions at all stages of pregnancy.

Support Summary by Texas Alliance for Life (8/23/22):  HB 1280 updates and improves upon the pre-Roe abortion laws (first passed in 1854) that the Supreme Court blocked in the terrible Roe v. Wade decision. Additionally, Governor Abbott approved an appropriation of $100 million for the current two-year budget for the highly successful Alternatives to Abortion program.

Legislative Outcome: Passed House 83-64-1 on May/6/21; passed Senate 18-12-1 on May/13/21; State Sen. Roland Gutierrez voted NOSigned by Governor Greg Abbott on May/19/21

Opposes restrictions of judicial bypass for minor's abortion

House Bill 3994 amends the statutory provisions governing judicial bypass, the process by which a judge may grant a pregnant minor who wishes to have an abortion an exemption from requirements that a parent be notified and consent to the procedure.

The bill's language says that, "A physician shall presume that a pregnant woman is a minor unless the woman presents a valid government record of identification showing that she has reached the age of maturity," essentially creating the same ID requirements that Texas's controversial voter ID law holds for those seeking abortions. That's a significant issue for undocumented Texans seeking abortions.

Legislative Outcome:  Passed Senate 21-10-0 on May/26/15; passed House 102-43-2 on May/29/15; State Rep. Roland Gutierrez voted NO; signed by Governor Greg Abbott Jun/19/15.
