Texas Democratic Governor Robert “Bet” O’Rourke held a “Rally for Reproductive Freedom” in the state capital, Austin, just two days after the Supreme Court resolved to overthrow the Roe v. Wade case. ..
In 2018, incumbent Republican Ted Cruz and Oroke, who lost about 215,000 votes in the Senate, will face Governor Greg Abbott in November.
“This is about controlling the life and body of women in Texas,” Oruk said on stage with the organizer of Abortion-rights on Sunday.
Texas passed a law banning most abortions six weeks later last year. It is also one of several states that have had a “trigger law” banning almost all abortions after the Supreme Court’s decision on Friday.

Oroke was praised and malicious when he derailed Governor Abbott’s press conference in Uvalde, Texas last month and accused him of “doing nothing” about gun violence. He aimed at Abbott again on Sunday’s problem.
“If this is life-related, gun violence is not the main cause of death for Texas children and teens. If this is life-related, 19 children in Uvarde, Texas I enjoy my summer vacation and live now. “Oroke said on Sunday.
Oroke was able to drive a surprisingly close defeat to Cruz in 2018 into the failure of the 2020 presidential election. He then participated in the governor’s election last November, shutting out the Democratic nomination earlier this year, but faces a difficult battle with incumbents.
