John,
It's a bright day in America! This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a historic 6-3 ruling, voted to strike down the controversial 1973 Roe v
Wade decision that has led to the deaths of more than 60 million unborn babies nationwide. Read our full statement here. |
 |
This decision now leaves it up to the voters of each state to decide whether to give legal protection to innocent unborn children. Texas
first set the standard with Senate Bill 8 – the Texas Heartbeat Bill – which
officially became law nine months ago, ensuring at the time that Texas had the nation’s strongest protections for the unborn.
But we didn’t stop there. Texas is one of several states that passed
a law that bans abortions in the state following a Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade. This life-affirming law, sponsored by State
Rep. Giovanni Capriglione and State Sen. Angela Paxton, is commonly known as the trigger bill but is officially cited as
House Bill 1280. This is what being on the frontlines of the fight to protect the sanctity of
life in America looks like!
And that’s not
all. The Texas Legislature went above and beyond putting our words into action by increasing funding for the Alternatives to Abortion
program, which received $100 million for the biennium. This program gives mothers access to needed resources during and AFTER their pregnancy by providing items like diapers, formula, and parenting classes. This program is in
addition to the hundreds of nonprofit crisis pregnancy centers across Texas that provide services to assist mothers both during and after their
pregnancy.
It’s important to recognize that without President
Trump’s conservative appointments to the Court, today’s victory would not be possible – promises made, promises kept.
But we know the Radical Left will not accept this moral and righteous decision. You saw the lengths to which they would go when an
extreme leftist showed up at Justice Kavanaugh’s residence at night with weapons seeking to murder him. We can’t allow them to tear down
our institutions whenever they disagree with a judicial decision!
We hope
you’ll stand with us to elect bold, courageous Republicans this November who will take the fight directly to Washington and
defend the rights and freedoms of ALL Americans – including the unborn. |
Saving America,
Texas Republicans
