Texas Dem nominee James Talarico invokes faith to defend abortion rights, ‘The Bible is silent on abortion'

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico defended abortion rights by citing biblical silence on the issue during an interview, emphasizing that ethical decisions should be made without state intervention. He has previously made controversial remarks about faith and biology, including calling God 'non-binary' and stating 'sex is a spectrum.' Talarico faces a tight race against Republican Senate hopefuls John Cornyn and Ken Paxton in a pivotal 2026 midterm contest.
