Perry Calls 2nd Special Session in Response to Disruption of Passage of Pro-Life Bill
6/27/2013 AUSTIN, TX -- Monday
Governor Perry called a second special legislative session only sixteen
hours after the first special session ended to consider the regulation
of abortion procedures, providers and facilities. Perry stated that, "We
will not allow the breakdown of decorum and decency to prevent us from
doing what the people of this state hired us to do."
Late Tuesday night the Texas Senate nearly passed Senate Bill 5 (SB 5) at the end of the special session. SB 5, a pro-life bill to improve safety standards for women and unborn children at abortion facilities, was strongly supported by Texas Alliance for Life and a broad coalition of pro-life organizations. At ~11:45 PM, a large, disruptive crowd of protestors in the Senate gallery erupted and drowned out the debate through midnight.
Joe Pojman, Ph. D., Executive Director of Texas Alliance for Life said, "We are disappointed that a disruptive mob in the gallery prevented the Legislature's successful passage of this common sense measure, but we are thrilled for this opportunity to pass legislation that will increase safety standards at abortion facilities across Texas. "

Gov. Rick Perry has
called for a second special session at the Texas Legislature so that the
Pro-Life Omnibus Bill can be voted on again.
HB2 (Former SB5) the Omnibus Pro-Life Bill has been filed. The bill will be heard in the House State Affairs Committee on Tuesday, July 2nd at 12:00 noon. **Students for Life of America is sponsoring a Texas #Stand4Life Team to head to the Texas State Capitol the week of July 8th - email Brendan O'Morchoe at bomorchoe@studentsforlife.
What you can do about Senate Bill 5 (SB5)
We
have been bombarded with phone calls, text messages, Facebook posts and
tweets about what we should do during this second session.
We
are currently waiting for the bill to be filed. You might have heard
that a committee hearing will be on Tuesday but this has not been
confirmed. Representative Laubenberg has filed House Bill 2 but it may
not be the bill that is debated this session. We do know it will not be
called Senate Bill 5 again.
So
we ask for your patience. When we know the bill that will be debated
and the most effective and efficient time to be in Austin, we will let
you know via Facebook, Twitter (@SACFL) and email. We are working with
prolife groups across Texas and some even outside of the state to make
sure we come in overwhelming numbers ...peacefully and prayerfully.
Starting
right now you can certainly PRAY! For legislators on both sides, for
prolifers to get active, for abortion supporters to have a change of
heart and in thanksgiving for all that God has done so far.
Also,
if you are able, you can listen to KKYX on Monday morning at about
8:45am. I will be on the air with Krissie Mornin to talk about this
legislation and our organization. If they take calls please call in! Click here to listen online.
Here
are some of the events happening Monday that were confirmed as I was
finishing the email. SACFL is not going to be an official part of these
but we will assemble a group and caravan for the committee hearings and
debates on the floor.
11:30am Press conference with Senator Donna Campbell and post abortive women 12pm Prayer with red LIFE tape in peaceful prayer at the Planned Parenthood rally on the south steps. If you plan to go please wear blue and if you are on Facebook or Twitter be sure to use the hashtag #Stand4Life. You can also use the below cover photo.  There is a possibility of free tshirts coming soon. Please email info@sacfl.org with your name and size(s) if you are interested. http://www.sacfl.org/ ************************************* http://prolifeeventsfinder.blogspot.com ***************************************
