PRO-LIFE IS ALIVE AND WELL IN TEXAS!

Dear Conservatives,

You normally don't think of the Courts as doing anything good when it comes to the abortion issue, but they recently got one right in Texas. 

You may remember the controversy that started in Texas earlier this year. 

It began as attention turned to a government funded healthcare program in Texas, the Women's Health Program. 

The program is designed to provide government funding for healthcare services for low-income women in Texas. 

Of course abortion providers like Planned Parenthood saw it as an opportunity to grab even more taxpayer money for abortion and shoved their way in. 

Texas National Pro-Life Alliance members and other pro-lifers had no intention of sitting back while their tax dollars were funding abortions. 


As such, earlier this year, spurred on by National Pro-Life Alliance members, the Texas legislature voted to cut abortion providers from the program. 

In response Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius gave Texas an ultimatum: 

Texas must either use Medicaid funding for the Women's Health Program to pay Planned Parenthood and other abortion related businesses – or 30 million in federal tax dollars appropriated for Texas would be cut off. 

But in true Texas fashion, Governor Rick Perry and the Texas Legislature held their ground and refused to give into the blackmail. 

Texas would find the funds in its own budget -- which they did. 

Then all too predictably, pro-abortion lower court judges moved to stop the Planned Parenthood defunding measure, following cries of protest from the entire abortion lobby. 

But now a higher court ruling from a panel of three judges will allow Texas to move forward with their new program and cut the funding. 

Of course, Texas is only one example of the impact NPLA members and other pro-lifers have had. 

Already 9 other states have passed similar legislation, andafter this election is over, my NPLA staff already has a program laid out to force this issue in each of the remaining 40 state legislatures next year. 

Thanks again for all you do. 

For Life,

Martin Fox, President
National Pro-Life Alliance
