Today at the Texas Capitol, the Texas Heartbeat Bill (SB 8) and other important pro-life bills, including SB 650, are expected to be voted on by the full Texas Senate! Sen. Bryan Hughes has filed SB 8, the Texas Heartbeat Bill, along with the House companion HB 1515 by Rep. Shelby Slawson to protect the lives of the unborn from the moment a heartbeat is detected. SB 650 by Sen. Donna Campbell would protect our tax dollars from funding abortion by banning taxpayer funds of logistical support for abortion. Texas must act this legislative session to protect innocent unborn life! We need our pro-life supporters to take action RIGHT NOW to contact their Texas legislators in support of life! If you have already sent a message through our action center, we also encourage you to make a phone call to your Texas Senator's office today in support of SB 8 and SB 650.
