Today, Governor Greg Abbott issued the long-awaited proclamation detailing the scope of the July 8th Special Session agenda and your voices were heard! Among the issues included on Abbott’s proclamation were prohibiting biological men from competing in biological women’s sports, election integrity, and making it more difficult to obtain abortion-inducing drugs. We need you to call your elected officials.
Tell them to support these issues in Special Session starting tomorrow! We are thankful that Governor Abbott specifically called for legislation on saving women’s sports identical to Senate Bill 29 by Senator Charles Perry. Senate Bill 29 applies to high school athletics under the University Interscholastic League. It passed the Texas Senate, but died in the House after running into constitutional deadlines. One issue that was not included on the special session call relates to prohibiting doctors from performing gender transition surgeries and prescribing puberty blockers to children. Texas Values called for this issue to be included for the July 8th session, however, Governor Abbott has yet to put it on the call. Since the Governor of Texas is allowed issue multiple proclamations specifying a special session agenda, we will see if this issue gets added in the near future. We need your help to make sure family values are upheld!
Please email your elected officials and politely ask them to support these issues. |
