Biden v. Babies 2.0: Biden Attacks Heartbeat Law Again Through Fake Political Lawsuit

This week, the Biden Administration’s U.S. Department of Justice asked for a motion to have an emergency hearing, in an attempt to stop the Texas Heartbeat Law (S.B. 8) from continuing to be in effect.

Jonathan Saenz, President and Attorney of Texas Values released the following statement:

“The Biden Administration is throwing fake political lawsuits at the wall to try and stop the Heartbeat Law and see if anything sticks. Slick lawyer tricks will not change the fact that everyone knows now that abortion stops a baby’s beating heart. Our state is firm: Don’t mess with Texas babies.  That’s why 2,200 preborn lives have been saved since the Heartbeat Law went into effect on September 1 and that precious number will grow every day.”

Save Women's Sports on Third Special Session Agenda

Texas' third special session (and likely last for this year) is mere days away and presents yet another opportunity on the Save Women's Sports issue, which Governor Greg Abbott has indicated is a priority to pass by including this issue on the special session agenda. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick announced today that the Save Women's Sports issue is a priority of his and that the bill will be Senate Bill 3, carried by Senator Charles Perry. This latest special session will begin Monday, September 20, at 10 AM.

The Texas Senate successfully passed two bills on the issue of fair play in the First Called Special Session that began July 8th, only to have the bills die in the House during the Democrats' quorum break. During the second special session, the Senate also passed SB 2, a Fair Play bill focusing on high school sports, where it finally died in the House Public Education Committee.
 

Texas Values Team Member Writes Article on Legal Updates to the Heartbeat Law

Mary Elizabeth Castle, Senior Policy Advisor for Texas Values wrote an article for Society of St. Sebastian on how Biden’s baseless attack on the Texas Heartbeat Law won’t succeed.  Here is one highlight from the article.  She said:

“The good news is that the highest legal department in the land, who politically oppose the law, seems stumped on how to challenge it. Once again, the Heartbeat Act proves to be a solid law that will remain in place to save thousands of preborn babies.”

Another Austin ISD Victory!

At last night’s SHAC meeting, Austin ISD announced that they have canceled their plans to teach sex education to students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade for the 2021-2022 school year. This victory comes after months of the Austin ISD SHAC drafting a sex education curriculum for kids as young as 5 that would introduce the topic of gender identity and other LGBT issues. The district also announced that schools will now have to ask parents’ permission to teach their children about human sexuality. Students will now have to Opt-In to human sexuality instruction and parents will have to sign a permission slip in order for kids to be taught sex education.
