Texas lawmaker celebrates state's abortion ban with anti-LGBTQ group

State Rep. Jeff Leach praised Texas' abortion ban during the coronavirus pandemic.
Texas state Rep. Jeff Leach, a Republican, last week celebrated the abortion bans GOP governors have instituted during the coronavirus pandemic, telling an extremist group that it's been an "eye-opening ... few weeks" for the "pro-life" community.
In a conversation with Texas Values, a far-right anti-LGBTQ group that fights against marriage equality and LGBTQ rights in the state, Leach specifically praised Texas' moves to ban abortions during the coronavirus outbreak.
"Thank God we've got a pro-life governor, a pro-life attorney general, and many pro-life warriors across the state like judges who have upheld the rule of law," Leach said in a livestream with Texas Values on April 15.
Texas is currently banning nearly all abortions in the state during the pandemic, both surgical and medical, after the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the ban on Monday.
