Texas State Senate Passes Privacy Act

The Texas State Senate passed the Texas Privacy Act by a vote of 21 to 10 yesterday thanks to the moral leadership of Lt Governor Dan Patrick

The bill prevents public schools and government buildings from adopting policies that would open womens showers bathrooms and changing facilities to men and visa-versa

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said As a parent of 5 children I am more than sympathetic to the sensitivity and the self-consciousness that students have in undressing in a school locker room or taking a shower in front of their peers It would be traumatic for many children and adolescents to do so in the presence of someone of the opposite biological sex

Now the man who stands in the way of its passage in the Texas State House is none other than the Republican Speaker of the House Joe Straus Despite running as a conservative in his re-election campaign Straus is considered the Poster Boy for the RINOs in Texas or Republicans in Name Only

Personhood Efforts Doing Better Than Ever in South Carolina

The effort to secure personhood for the unborn in South Carolina is doing better than ever according to Matt Clark Chairman of Personhood South Carolina

We already have 16 co-sponsors Thats three more than we had last year Not to mention the pledge of support when it gets to the floor for a vote the Republican Majority Leader Senator Shane Massey has pledged his support In addition the current Lieutenant Governor is a persistent tireless defender of the unborn in South Carolina

Clark says their biggest challenge will be in the Senate Judiciary Committee

The new judiciary chairman is Senator Luke Rankin and thats where we really need to focus our prayers He has yet to assign this to a favorable sub-committee

Chairman Clark asked that people might be able to join their initiative to commit 5 Minutes for the Unborn daily to calling Senator Luke Rankin and ask him to co-sponsor the Personhood Bill and put it in front of a good committee Despite months of phone calls and emails weve gotten zero response

No matter where you live please...
