[Press Release from Rep. Veronica Gonzales (D-McAllen)]
State Representative Veronica Gonzales (D-McAllen) has joint-authored the Texas Prevention First Act (HB 1842) which aims to reduce unplanned pregnancies and curb the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Representative Gonzales stated HB 1842 will expand access to preventative health care services and education programs and save public health funds for Texans across the state. “I am proud to support the Texas Prevention First Act which will take essential steps to reducing unplanned pregnancies
among our youth. Texas leads the nation in teenagers having babies, and one of every two deliveries in Texas is paid for with public dollars,” said Gonzales.
