|
||
| WHEREAS, the State of Texas exists to protect the lives, | ||
| liberty, and property of all its citizens, born and unborn; and | ||
| WHEREAS, the Government of the United States of America | ||
| exists to do the same; and | ||
| WHEREAS, the Declaration of Independence states that "all men | ||
| are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with | ||
| certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and | ||
| the pursuit of Happiness;" and | ||
| WHEREAS, since the beginning of time only societies of the | ||
| most barbaric and cruel nature have condoned the willful slaughter | ||
| of their own children; and | ||
| WHEREAS, the recent passage by the State of New York of the | ||
| Reproductive Health Act (S2796) cruelly infringes on the | ||
| unalienable Rights of the citizens of New York, both born and | ||
| unborn, by legalizing infanticide; and | ||
| WHEREAS, the recent statements by the Governor of Virginia | ||
| condoning infanticide would be considered heinous and evil in any | ||
| civilized society; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 86th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby condemn the actions of the State of New York in passing | ||
| legislation permitting infanticide; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 86th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby condemn the statements of the Governor of Virginia condoning | ||
| infanticide; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 86th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby respectfully urge the United States Congress to pass the | ||
| Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S.130). | ||
