Texas&#8217;s pro-life legislative accomplishments include parental notification, informed consent, mandatory sonograms, a 24-hour waiting period, and the Prenatal Protection Act (which recognizes the pre-born as victims when their pregnant mothers are killed), among others.<\/p>\n<p>In a monumental piece of legislation, introduced in Texas&#8217;s overtime special session, Senate Bill 5, the pro-life omnibus bill, would ban abortion after 20 weeks (when science shows that the unborn can feel pain). In addition, it includes commonsense, humane measures such as a requirement that abortion clinics follow the same health and safety regulations that ambulatory surgical centers are held to, a requirement that doctors secure admitting privileges at local hospitals (as a precaution against the common medical emergencies that ensue after botched abortions), and a requirement that doctors to personally administer medicated abortions (rather than dangerously sending a woman home with their child&#8217;s death sentence in pill form).<\/p>\n<p>According to Texas Right to Life &#8211; and to the dismay of pro-abortion groups in Texas &#8211; because of its stringent measures regulating abortion, the passage of SB5 would mean the closure of the majority of Texas abortion mills. A huge flurry of pro-abortion zealots broke every House rule during an frenzied protest to these life-saving measures.\u00a0The mob had to be escorted by police when they refused to respect House rules during their &#8220;citizen filibuster.&#8221; These opponents, who reject the possibility of protecting 10,000 of Texas&#8217;s smallest residents every year as a result of SB5 passing, are supported by pro-abortion groups such as Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, who back the threat of pro-abortion politician Wendy Davis to filibuster the bill to death.<\/p>\n<p>SB5 has fewer than ten hours to pass, so if you&#8217;re a Texan, follow <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us\/Home.aspx\">this link<\/a> to contact your legislator about stopping the filibuster. As Live Action President Lila Rose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lilagracerose\/posts\/10151710599943000\">often suggests<\/a>, for those who cannot help on a local level, please contribute your prayers for the success of this pro-life measure in Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep praying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":152,"featured_media":37095,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 -
