On Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing
McDonald, judge.
In his motion for rehearing the appellant presents the contention that abortion is an offense “against morals, decency and chastity” and that such offenses being excepted in the Adult Probation and Parole Law (Art. 781b, Sec. 3, Vernon’s Ann.C.C. P.), the trial court was without authority to grant him probation.
The appellant having been granted probation and having violated the conditions thereof is in no position to complain that the trial court abused his discretion in revoking the order of probation and imposing sentence upon the judgment previously entered in which his punishment was assessed at 4 years in the penitentiary. Popham v. State, 154 Tex.Cr.R. 529, 228 S.W.2d 857; Hartley v. State, 169 Tex.Cr.R. 341, 334 S.W.2d 287.
Remaining convinced that the trial judge did not abuse • his discretion in revoking probation, appellant’s motion for rehearing is overruled.
