Many of you are like me, our jobs and/or family responsibilities prevent us from going to Austin this week. There is historic pro-life legislation that hangs in the balance and you wish you could be there to witness all of it.
Thousands upon thousands of people are there and by the looks of it, most are wearing pro-life BLUE.
Here's the schedule of events:
Monday, July 8, 10 AM – the Senate Health and Human Services Committee will conduct a public hearing on SB 1.
Monday, July 8, 7 – 9 PM -- Rally on the South Steps of the Capitol.
Tuesday, July 9, 10 AM – Texas House convenes. This is the earliest the House can consider HB 2 on “2nd Reading” for a preliminary vote. Debate will likely last several hours.
Wednesday, July 10 – the House is not yet scheduled to meet, but this is the earliest the House could vote on HB 2 on “3rd reading” for a final vote.
We, at home, can help and here's how:
PRAY for conversion of hearts and protection of lives.
Call your legislators and thank/encourage them to vote for the bill - SB 1 / HB 2.
PRAY for courage for those who are speaking on behalf of the unborn.
If you are on Twitter, join the Tweetfest at #stand4life.
PRAY some more!
