Today we’ll begin a series on the amendments to the Texas Constitution that will be up before the voters on November 3rd. We’ll take up a different amendment each week for seven weeks. I will try to give you both the pros and cons.
Texas continues to lead the nation in pro-life legislation including the Sonogram bill in 2011, the defunding of Planned Parenthood, and HB2 in 2013 (which was probably the most sweeping pro-life legislation in our nation since Roe v. Wade). Earlier this year, your Texas Legislature passed additional bills defending life.
Companies and investors dealing with Iran aid a threatening foreign regime that is pursuing nuclear- weapons capability, brutally repressing its citizens while knowingly violating human rights, and sponsoring insidious forms of terrorism.
This details the tax relief we passed in the Texas Legislature this year. No state can compare.
Last week, the Texas Senate Health and Human Services Committee began it’s investigation into the alleged marketing and sale of organs derived from aborted babies.
Yesterday an undercover video of a Planned Parenthood executive staff member was released showing the doctor discussing Planned Parenthood’s ability to preserve a baby’s organs while conducting an abortion and to sell them for medical research.
The Texas House delivered one conservative victory after another in the 84th Legislature by cutting taxes, making the border region safer, improving education, funding transportation, protecting life and defending Second Amendment rights.
We are in the homestretch of the 84th Legislature. With the exception of Friday, the House was in session late each night this week trying to work through the backlog of proposed legislation.
There are just over three weeks before the 84th Legislative Session comes to a close. The House has been hard at work this week tackling some issues that will make a positive impact on our state for years to come.
The House was hard at work this week working on some very large pieces of legislation that will positively affect all Texans. In addition, we also took steps to aid the families of slain first responders and protect personal liberty.
