Texas lawmakers are considering The Bill Burch Act, an bill sponsored by House member Wayne Christian. The Burch Act would ban abortion in The Lone Star state.

“I and many of my constituents believe that the legal documents that our forefathers founded that said life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were not un-thought, un-researched words that they used,” Christian said. “They made very clear life is the first thing necessary and you can’t enjoy any of the other — liberty or the pursuit of happiness — unless you first have life.”

The bill stipulates that life begins at the moment of fertilization, and with that definition abortion would no longer be legal. But is there sufficient support?
