The scene inside the Texas legislature is chaotic for pro-life advocates who have been attempting to stand up for unborn children while members of the legislature debate the late-term abortion ban.
The pro-abortion side has reportedly threatened pro-lifers with guns and chains to the point that state troopers have helped pro-lifers get to undisclosed locations and other places of safety out of the way of what has become an unruly mob.
The tweets from pro-life advocates insdie the Texas capitol describe the scene
