In this May 5, 2021, file photo, Texas state Rep. Donna Howard, D-Austin, center at the lectern, stands with fellow lawmakers in the House Chamber in Austin, Texas, as she opposes a bill introduced that would ban abortions as early as six weeks and allow private citizens to enforce it through civil lawsuits, under a measure given preliminary approval by the Republican-dominated House. A Texas law banning most abortions in the state took effect at midnight on Sept. 1, but the Supreme Court has yet to act on an emergency appeal to put the law on hold. (AP Photo/Eric Gay, File)
