In the first month after the law was implemented, abortions in Texas fell by 50% compared to the same time the previous year.
Texas lawmakers have expanded this concept in other arenas, including to drag performances with House Bill 4378, a bill they have tried to pass in the past and have refiled for the 2025 session.
Under the law, any minor who witnesses a drag performance could sue the performer and anyone who promoted or facilitated the performance for $5,000.
Critics fear that laws targeting drag performers could be applied to any transgender person in any setting, as the bill targets any performer who 'exhibits a gender that is different than the performer's gender recorded at birth.'
