#Stand4Life in Texas


SOUND THE ALARM!
The abortion industry is aggressively trying to RE-OPEN closed Texas abortion facilities — which don't meet basic health and safety standards — and they've now filed a massive lawsuit to BLOCK other unsafe abortion centers FROM CLOSING across the Lone Star State.

And right here in Dallas, abortion giant Planned Parenthood secretly acquired an existing ambulatory surgical center and is actively converting it into a new mega-abortion center to ensure continued profits from North Texas abortions.  Full story here

Please join us as we continue our #Stand4Life in Texas at two critical events in August:

August 4:  Austin Prayer Vigil and Pro-Life Training 


The abortion industry has filed a new lawsuit challenging the provision of omnibus pro-life law (HB 2) that requires abortion facilities to meet common sense safety standards and upgrade to the level of ambulatory surgical centers. The lawsuit is being tried in federal court on Monday, August 4th at 9:00 AM, and we need you to come participate in the Pro-life Prayer Vigil at the same time, outside the courthouse!  The vigil will be followed by a state-wide pro-life training at the Capitol.  Wear blue!

August 4 Events:

    • 9:00 – 11:00 AM    Prayer Vigil at Republic Square, 422 Guadalupe St, Austin, TX 78701
    • 11:00 – 12:30 PM  Break for lunch on your own
    • 12:30 – 3:00 PM    Texas Pro-Life Primer: Keeping Abortion Facilities Closed, at the Capitol, in the Legislative Conference Center (E2.002)
