By: Hughes, et al. | S.R. 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 88th Texas 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 by the | ||
Texas Senate. |
