As others applaud, Texas State Senator Eddie Lucio Jr (fore, left) embraces Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst during a signing ceremony for House Bill 2 (HB2) in the Texas State Capitol Extension Auditorium, Austin, Texas, July 18, 2013. HB2 was a piece of state legislation restricting abortion access, introduced after the similar Senate Bill 5 (SB5) failed to pass in a earlier legislative session.
