The Abolishing Abortion in Texas Conference and Mission was hosted by Love of Truth Ministries in Spring Branch, TX, on April 13th-15th. Outreaches were conducted at the University of Texas – San Antonio as well as the Alamo.

State Abolition Bill(s) Updates

  • Kentucky
    • Pro-Life backed politicians refused to give HB300 a hearing.
  • Indiana
    • Pro-Life backed politicians refused to give HB1596 a hearing.
  • South Carolina
    • Pro-Life backed politician refused to give HB3549 a hearing. According to Facebook post from Equal Protection South Carolina, the bill the pro-life lobby is pushing is set for special order next week to be debated in the Senate. If the bill is enacted, it would make it more difficult, if not impossible,to actually abolish abortion in South Carolina.

Abolition Headlines

Abolitionists Rising released multiple videos on YouTube recently including:

Abolish Abortion Texas released an informative article titled “What’s really going on with the Texas abortion pill case?”. They also released a video on their YouTube channel titled “”I agree with the abolitionist position except for 2 things…“”.

Dusty Deevers of Rescue Those has tweeted very helpful threads on abolition and equal protection the last two weeks. Links are below:

Pro-Life Headlines

There has been several items through out the pass two week that the pro-life establishment are calling “wins” that are anything but for our pre-born neighbors. We took on their misinformation with an article of our own titled “Mifepristone, Florida Heartbeat Act, and 32K babies saved?!  Here’s the truth…“.

Pro-Life Congressman Lindsey Graham, who introduced a bill to limit abortions at the federal level in September 2023, was interviewed recently about his views on abortion. He has several quotes worth noting:

  • “I’m very pro-life, and I think being pro-life is a winning message,” the Republican senator said. “I oppose late-term abortions. I have a bill that set a national minimum standard of 15 weeks. Fifty out of the 53 European nations ban abortion at 15 weeks. I have an exception for rape, incest and life of the mother.”
  • “We can win this issue at the ballot box if we show up with reasonable positions. If we have our head in the sand, we’re going to lose,”

I shared this in order to show, again, that pro-life backed politician have no interest in abolishing abortion, only to continue regulating it as healthcare.

Pro-Life Congresswoman Nancy Mace also made headlines recently when she stated the FDA should be in charge of what drugs it approves, not judges, concerning the ruling on Mifepristone. She stated, “We have, over the last nine months, not shown compassion towards women, and this is one of those issues that I’ve tried to lead on as someone who’s ‘pro-life’ and just have some common sense.” When Mace was a state lawmaker in South Carolina, she successfully advocated for the inclusion of exceptions for rape and incest in a proposed six-week “fetal heartbeat” abortion ban bill. I believe Abolitionists Rising said it best in the tweet below:
