ALEC and Stealth Abortion Legislation in Texas
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is identified as the source of "model legislation" used to restrict abortion clinics in Texas and North Carolina. These bills are often introduced in special sessions or attached to unrelated legislation, such as Sharia law bans. The ultimate goal is theorized to be a shift toward high-cost, insurance-billed procedures that benefit large medical corporations.
