The 2009 Texas Rally for Life was the largest ever, thanks to all those who promoted and attended this rousing event! Join us again on January 23, 2010!
Thousands marched from Republic Square to the South Steps of the Capitol on January 24, chanting and holding signs that encouraged legislators to pass bills that help women and men "Choose Life," not death, for their unborn children.
Gov. Rick Perry, who has signed more pro-life bills into law than any governor in Texas, strongly encouraged the crowd (and legislators!) to stand strong in the face of a pro-abortion national government. He urged everyone to support current pro-life legislation in Texas such as the Choose Life license plate bill (H.B. 109) and efforts to fund morally sound adult stem cell research (S.B. 73). (Sign the Choose Life license plate petition online!)
Rep. Larry Phillips (R-Sherman) shared how his family's personal commitment to the life issue has shaped his legislative priorities.
And Julie Stobbe of the adoption awareness organization Act of Life was joined by pregnancy help center representatives, adoptive families, and heroic birth mothers who shared emotional personal testimonies about the beauty of adoption.
Listen to their invigorating presentations by clicking on their pictures on the left!
We thank Bishop Gregory Aymond of the Catholic Diocese of Austin and Pastor Juan Sanchez of High Pointe Baptist Church for offering the invocation and benediction for the Rally, Andrew Rivas of the Texas Catholic Conference for emceeing the event, and Jay Paul Roy for his inspiring music!
We hope to see you next year at the 2010 Texas Rally for Life on January 23!
