Thanks to your support and prayers, there’s good news coming out of Austin for the first time in weeks: the Texas House passed the 20-week ban!
What’s more the momentum in Texas is starting to swing towards this bill’s passage, and we have Gov. Rick Perry and the pro-life legislators along with your efforts to thank for it.
These brave men and women stood up to the pro-abortion crowd’s screams and signs, and their stand is testimony to the fact that the life of the unborn and their vulnerable mothers are worth protecting.
Now Texas is halfway to outlawing the horrific practices of Douglas Karpen, the heir-apparent to Kermit Gosnell. If this legislation can make it through the Texas Senate, no longer will he be able to snip necks and twist heads off of babies during gruesome late-term abortions.
While brave Texans have fought to protect life, Douglas Karpen in Houston has continued to extinguish the lives of unborn babies. Even though investigations have been launched, his clinics have continued to remain open.
Preventing the next Gosnell and Karpen and criminalizing their special brand of torture can only happen with the passage of this bill. Our fight is dedicated to the lives of innocent babies whose lives have been extinguished at the hands of these monsters.
The fight in Austin has national implications, and the abortion industry knows that. The pro-life movement has put forth a monumental effort at both the national and grassroots levels to defend life in Texas.
Your efforts to spread our message of protecting babies and women have started to get traction. Even the media is starting to recognize that we’re on the right side. While the pro-death activists have chanted “Hail Satan” and used children to hold up their explicit signs, the pro-life movement has been an example of patience and prayer.
Even when they spat as us, we remembered that the abortion debate isn’t about us. It’s about saving the lives of innocent babies.
Americans across the country have seen our selfless message and responded the way we always knew they would. Our grassroots dedication to this righteous message is the reasons why the majority of Texans (and Americans) stand with us. In Texas, a majority has recognized the value of each of the children that Gosnell and Karpen specialized in killing.
Help us expand our grassroots reach to spread this message of life. Make a donation so we can take back the human center of this debate over abortion and protect innocent life.
For life,
Marjorie Dannenfelser
President, Susan B. Anthony List

I wish you could’ve been there. They say everything’s bigger in Texas and that’s certainly true of this legislative battle. Most of the week, I was in Austin, getting an up-close-and-personal view of an epic clash between good and evil. Pro-life Governor Rick Perry and a pro-life majority in the both the State House and Senate have been working on an amazing accomplishment—a major omnibus pro-life bill. You probably know the background, but for those who don’t, allow me to briefly summarize…
