Dear Friend, On the morning of September 11, 2001, it was unthinkable. The first plane struck the World Trade Center’s North Tower with an explosion of flames and smoke. So began that devastating attack upon our country. We watched in horror as three more planes crashed, changing the United States permanently as the priceless lives of thousands were disregarded. How …
What you won at Convention
Dear Friend, I wanted to take a moment to give a quick update on the tremendous progress you, by the grace of God, made at the Texas GOP Convention. Thank you for your hard work. By preparing testimony, showing up, taking action, and lifting us in prayer, you helped move things closer toward the abolition of abortion in Texas. I …
Great news about Allen West
Dear friend, Great job! You have made a HUGE difference in helping Lt. Col. Allen West see the light! Here’s what happened over the past few days. Last week, I sent you a couple of emails detailing West’s alarming refusal to commit to protecting life from conception. West was asked a simple question, in writing: “At what point should the …

The Supreme Court Did What?!
Dear Friend, The opinion handed down earlier this week by the Supreme Court is appalling. In a stunning six to three decision, the court trampled on the liberty of business owners and rewrote the Civil Rights Act to force employers to hire LGBTQ employees. This is a glaring example of the problems with depending on the court for a solution …
Much more to be done!
Dear friend, As you know, we’ve delivered your petitions to the Texas Attorney General thanking him for fighting in the courts for preborn children and urging him to enforce the order to shut down abortion clinics in our state. But there is more (much more!) that we as Christians can be doing right now. First, a quick update. The latest …
What Is Abolition?
The terms “abolish” and “abolition” are just words, but what do they truly stand for in the fight to end abortion? More than anything else, abolition is about Christians seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, then trusting His strength to work through our weakness to abolish abortion in our land. From there, Abolitionists hold to three policy …
How Did HB 896 Die?
These are days of mourning in Texas. HB 896 is dead, and it was killed by self-proclaimed “pro-life” Republicans. As you know, HB 896–courageously filed and championed by State Representative Tony Tinderholt–would have abolished abortion in Texas. It would have completely outlawed abortion in our state. It would have followed the constitution and ignored and challenged the unconstitutional and evil …
An Important Meeting
Dear friend, My colleague Wes Thomas and I recently met with the leaders of Texas Right to Life. Of course, we’ve met and spoken with Texas Right to Life staff on numerous occasions, but this was the first time the five of us all sat down together—Wes and me with Texas Right to Life’s Jim Graham (President), Elizabeth Graham (Director), …
This is NOT working
Dear Friend, Something happened last week that every pro-life American should stop and think about. The federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled to strike down Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban. This is a big deal because the Fifth Circuit is widely considered the most conservative in the nation. It is also the same court which rules over Texas. The Texas …
