Texas Lawmaker Touts Bill To Charge Women Who Have Abortions With Murder On Christian Nationalist’s Show
On Friday, Texas state Rep. Brent Money sat down for an interview with Joel Webbon, a virulently racist, antisemitic, anti-LGBTQ, and misogynistic Christian nationalist pastor. During the interview, Money promoted a bill he introduced to treat self-managed abortions as murder, and claimed that “motherhood” is the “highest and best use for women.”
Money complained to Webbon and his co-hosts, Wesley Todd and Michael Belch, that, in Texas, “if you’re a doctor and you participate in abortion, that’s, you know, that’s not allowed anymore, but yet we still say a self-managed abortion” is “not categorized as anything within our law” and is a “complete and total carve-out.”
Money explained that this was the impetus for his bill, HB 2197, which, as he stated in an interview with the right-wing Texas Scorecard, would categorize self-managed abortions as murder. He further justified the bill by likening it to punishing his own children for disobeying him.
“The law teaches people what is right and what is wrong,” Money said. “I never want to spank the child, but what I don’t want is for the child to get hit by a car driving by, and so I teach him, this is wrong, this is out of bounds, I warn him, if you do this, there are consequences, and then ultimately I provide consequences to serve as a deterrent in the future, and a notice to the other children that I really do mean business.”
Joel Webbon expressed full support for Money’s bill, remarking that by not punishing people who have abortions, it “reinforces” the idea that “women don’t sin” and “can’t really do anything wrong.”
“We can worship women or save babies, but you can’t do both.” He added that “America for quite a while now, at least half a century, has opted for worshiping women.”
Brent Money appeared baffled by the idea that women would prioritize careers over raising children, and declared that “motherhood” is the “highest and best use for women.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
