HB 154
|
This
bill,
known
as
a
"clone
and
kill"
bill, allows for the creation and
destruction of human life for research. The TCC opposes this bill
because the creation and destruction of innocent human life for
experimental testing is unethical and denies the dignity of the young
unborn life.

(fast
track)
|
This
legislation
would
require
a
physician
to
review
a woman's ultrasound
with her prior to her having an abortion. The woman is not required to
view the ultrasound. The TCC supports this bill because it provides
the mother with more information about her unborn child and may help
the mother realize the humanity of her unborn child and choose life.

HB 238
|
This
legislation would allow the issuance of "Choose Life" license plates. A
portion of the purchase price of every plate would be collected into an
account from which grants would be distributed to charitable
organizations that help pregnant women place their children for
adoption. Organizations that provide abortions or abortion-related
services, or make referrals to abortion providers would not be able to
receive this funding. The TCC supports this bill because it
would help promote a Culture of Life within the state
and would also create support for pregnancy centers that advocate
adoption and not abortion.

SB 230
|
This bill requires that a minor seeking an abortion
through a judicial bypass, rather than parental consent, must file the
application in the county in which she resides, if that county has a
population of greater than 50,000. This TCC supports
this bill as a measure to protect parental rights and as a gradualistic
approach to ending abortion in Texas.
