Texas GOP Vote

The 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas still has a couple of weeks to go, and it ain’t over ’till both the House and Senate are sine die, but it appears that SB 303 did die over the weekend.

Representative Susan King, who broke her leg last Sunday, just the day before the marathon meeting of the House Public Health Committee, has done an incredible job of working with Senator (Dr.) Bob Duell in their attempt to reform our State’s Advance Directive Act through SB 303.   Read more »

Another Kermit Gosnell? Another abortionist accused of aborting late term pregnancies and babies born alive? Unfortunately, it is true and it happens more than people think. Finally these murders are being uncovered. A Texas abortion doctor, Douglas Karpen, is accused of murdering babies AFTER Birth. He sometimes even twisted their heads off. An investigation by operation rescue has found several witnesses who even have PICTURE EVIDENCE of the gruesome murders of near full term babies born alive at a Houston, TX abortion clinic. Read more about the murder allegations against this Houston, TX abortionist including pictures and video here.

Thursday, Senator Ted Cruz (Texas-R) spoke out on the Senate floor in favor of an investigation

Think about the things that Texas is known for. Oil, trucks, cowboys, cows and big city life. Also, a gun loving governor and a booming economy. Oh, yeah and the myth that everything is bigger in Texas, right? We've got big trucks, big hair and...big government? Big government, you say? Sadly, yes.

Back in 1999, the Texas Legislature signed a bill into law that granted a panel of doctors, appointed by the hospital in which they work, to help with end of life directives. What does that mean, exactly? Well, if you wanted to go all Sarah Palin, then, I guess you could call these death panels.

As we all know, the 83rd legislative session of the Texas house is coming to a close. This year proved to be a fairly quiet one, until now. The current legislative body has apparently

Update: The Obama Administration has decided to appeal the judge’s ruling that the age restrictions must be removed completely from Plan B sales.

FRIDAY WAS A DAY OF CONTRASTS.

Earlier that day, I streamed the live broadcast of President Obama addressing Planned Parenthood’s annual gathering in Washington D.C. This smaller, low-profile event in front of a modest gathering of 1000 Planned Parenthood volunteers and supporters,

Please permit me to share a short personal observation. Saturday, while driving on the Gulf Freeway South of Houston, I noticed flags flying at half-mast. That wasn’t terribly unusual in today’s endless and instantaneous reporting of catastrophes near and far. What did strike me as odd was that the place the flags were flying low was the infamous largest-in-the-nation Planned Parenthood® facility. The group that has become one of the very names synonymous with promoting a culture of death was now mourning it.   Read more »

(Writer's note-This deals with the trial of Kermit Gosnell, who is being tried for murder of seven babies born outside the mother’s womb and a mother during an abortion procedure.)

The following was a Grand Jury description of late term abortions conducted in Dr. Kermit Gosnell’s clinic, “Very often, the patient delivered without Gosnell being present.

I introduced legislation yesterday that will ensure taxpayer dollars aren’t funding abortion advocacy in public schools. H.R. 1122, the Protecting Life in Funding Education (PRO-LIFE) Act restricts funding to school districts that contract with third party “school-based health centers” unless they certify they won’t perform abortions and they won’t provide abortion referrals or materials to students.   Read more »

Bill and I travelled to Washington, DC for two main reasons, to visit our son and grandkids and to participate in the 40th anniversary of Roe v Wade March for Life. In fact, we planned on attending the March for Life since 2009. What we did not plan on was the freezing weather and snow. I can tell you there are not enough clothes to wear to stay warm. The route from the National Mall to the Supreme Court is a little over one mile.   Read more »

I want to welcome and thank all Texans who have made the trip to Washington to make their voices heard. We’ve taken important steps in recent years to defend life, including passage of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act and the Unborn Victims of Violence Act. I believe that all life should be treated with dignity and respect, and I am committed to doing all I can to protect innocent life.   Read more »
