Issue Position: Promoting a Culture of Life

Issue Position

I believe that every life is created for a purpose and that, as such, Texas should be known not just as a state that protects life, but one that actively promotes a culture of life. We must find new ways to meet Texas women at the point of their need and to provide better options to expectant mothers other than terminating an innocent life. This includes actively working against organizations that provide misleading and false information to pregnant women, providing materials to schools which promote and encourage abstinence and making adoption in Texas easier and more affordable.

During the 83rd Legislative Session I was proud to co-author House Bill 2 -- monumental pro-life legislation banning the practice of abortion after 20 weeks of conception while providing further safeguards and protections for women. During the 84th Legislative Session I successfully authored and passed a provision in the Texas Budget ensuring that taxpayer dollars do not flow into the pockets of abortion providers and their rogue affiliates.
