SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 650
         WHEREAS, For more than two decades, Council for Life has
  served as a source of compassionate guidance to individuals who
  are navigating the challenges of an unplanned pregnancy; and
         WHEREAS, In 2001, Council for Life was founded by a group
  of 11 women, Ann Carruth, Judy Ferguson, Elaine Harman, Bette
  Hoag, Sue Justice, Suzanne Nash, Sarah Perot, Janet
  Quisenberry, Kim Rozell, Jill G. Smith, and Lisa Troutt; the
  organization has since grown to more than 1,500 members and
  raised over $12 million to benefit more than 70 pro-life
  agencies, with funding going toward pregnancy resource
  centers, adoption and foster care services, maternity homes,
  post-abortion support and healing, parenting and life skills
  education, youth and college mentoring, and other
  life-affirming initiatives and agencies; and
         WHEREAS, Council for Life's mission is to empower women,
  men, and youth to make life-affirming choices; to that end, the
  organization educates the community about the complex issues
  that surround unplanned pregnancies and the many resources
  available to mothers, babies, and families; and
         WHEREAS, Since its inception, Council for Life has been
  committed to its core values, endeavoring to educate the public
  but not to legislate or take a political stance; Council for Life
  has helped provide hope and healing to countless people in need,
  and the organization's remarkable success is a testament to the
  dedication of its members; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, hereby honor Council for Life on its achievements
  and extend to all those affiliated with the organization sincere
  best wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
  prepared for Council for Life as an expression of high regard
  from the Texas Senate.
