“Today I filed HB 3326 to end abortion in Texas,” Texas Rep. Brian Slayton tweeted.
“The bill would end the discriminatory practice of ending the lives of innocent children and ensure equal protection of the law for all Texans, no matter how young,” he said.
According to HB 3326, a person who has an abortion can be charged with assault or murder, which is punishable by death.
On the subject: New York City will pay for abortions for women from other states.
Slayton's bill also states that certain parties may be forced to testify in cases of death or "personal injury to the unborn child," and offers immunity to those who do so.
The law also requires the state attorney general to instruct the state agency to enforce these laws, regardless of any contrary to federal law, regulation, treaty, order, or court order.
The bill will also ban fertilization abortion, while most abortions in Texas are banned after 20 weeks.

Slayton's proposal is not the first time a Texas lawmaker has proposed the death penalty for abortion. Texas Rep. Tony Tinderholt proposed a similar measure in 2019, classifying abortion as murder.
The bill came out as the state seeks to aggressively restrict or ban abortion.
Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson has signed a bill banning abortion unless it is intended to save the mother's life.
