Texas House Passes Bill to Stop City Councils Using Taxpayer Dollars to Fund Abortion Travel! |
“Texas law has made it clear that the life of the preborn is valuable and worth saving. Once SB 33 is signed by Governor Abbott, city councils will no longer use taxpayer dollars to traffic women and children across state lines for abortions that take the life of one person and harm the health of another. I am thankful for Senator Donna Campbell and Representative Candy Noble for continuing their efforts to protect taxpayers and babies since the passage of SB 22 in 2019”. ~ Mary Elizabeth Castle, Director of Government Relations for Texas Values

Special Guest Senator Angela Paxton, District 8, and host Jonathan Saenz, President & Attorney for Texas Values Discuss SB 13 on the Texas Values Report! |
"It’s one of the platform issues for the Republican party…we passed this bill in the Senate last session. It died in the House…we are coming back this session. It creates a process that we’re giving them to review material and for parents to be able to challenge the material that’s still in the library. This legislation falls into a category that I call, ‘Don’t make me come down there!'
This bill depends on parents…parents are going to need to step up." ~ Senator Angela Paxton
Her segment is available to view on our YouTube Channel and our Facebook page.
