Stopping Texas Gosnell

After murderer Kermit Gosnell was brought to justice, there are gruesome allegations that Houston abortionist Douglas Karpen murdered babies and operated a “house of horrors” clinic.

We can do more to stop these incidents from ever happening with your help.

First, find your State Senators here: http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/Home.aspx

Then, call your State Senator and tell them to support SB 25, SB 537 and SB 1198.

SB 25 would outlaw abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy. SB 537 would force Texas abortionists to abide by the same regulations as those governing ambulatory, or outpatient surgical centers.  SB 1198 would require Texas abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the abortion facility.
