The bill was still pending on Tuesday after Democrats decried the argument made by the bill's supporters as contradictory.

"I’m trying to reconcile in my head the arguments that I heard tonight about how essentially one is okay with subjecting a woman to the death penalty for the exact — to do to her the exact same thing that one is alleging she is doing to a child," Democrat state Rep. Victoria Neave said.

Tinderholt told the Texas Observer the bill is meant to "force" women to be "more personally responsible with sex."

"Right now, it’s real easy. Right now, they don’t make it important to be personally responsible because they know that they have a backup of ‘oh, I can just go get an abortion," Tinderholt said.
