John We have an important deadline, and your support means so much! Right now, every heart and mind is understandably fixed on the terrible events in Ukraine. I don’t want to diminish that in the slightest. My staff and I pray daily for evil to be defeated there, and for the innocents to be protected from its devastation. But I respectfully point out that here in Texas, we’re also in the midst of a war. It’s not a shooting war, but it’s deadly serious, and it too bears a horrific body count. In fact, this conflict has brutally ended millions of innocent lives. It’s not a war over the physical or visible landscape, but inner, moral territory. The heart and soul of Texas and its people. Don’t let anyone tell you that’s not as important. Thank God, this war also has a whole other life count—that you and I had a direct hand in creating. It’s a positive one—and a source of hope. A case of innocents protected from evil. Nearly 30,000 babies have so far been spared a horrific death by the Texas Heartbeat Law. A law that just notched another victory in the courts. That’s exactly how many Ukrainians just evacuated that poor city of Mariupol. I don’t know if you saw its footage—line upon wretched line of grieving civilians, fleeing for their lives. There is also a large pro-life event that we are planning in North Texas... details coming soon! Our efforts have saved that same number of human souls, and we’re just getting started! You see, the Heartbeat Law is spreading. Eight other states are considering legislation like ours—laws that side-step the legal pitfalls of government enforcement. They saw our bill, to the whole world’s surprise, survive that recent challenge at the United States Supreme Court. Imagine those 30,000 precious lives, Texas souls multiplying across America. Imagine what an impact our work is having on our country—and it's future. And that’s far from all. Governor Abbott recently joined us in asking the courts to stop San Antonio’s attack on Chick-fil-A. Incredibly, that legal battle has waged ever since the 2019 “Save Chick-fil-A” religious freedom bill we worked to draft and pass. San Antonio’s argument? That as a government entity, they’re immune to lawsuits. In other words: the city is above the law. |
