East Texas lawmaker files bill to test drinking water for, um, abortion medication?
There's never a shortage of bizarre and asinine bills filed when the Texas Legislature convenes. And first-term State Rep. Joanne Shofner, whom Gov. Greg Abbott spent $450,000 to help get elected, filed a doozie this session. The Nacogdoches Republican's House Bill 3734 would require the state to test its drinking water for mifepristone, a widely used abortion medication conservatives have sought to ban, along with estrogen, the hormones responsible for the human body's development of female characteristics.
