I know i have posted this before but there is some good news in the fight for life.

Texas has a few new laws that go into effect this Sept 1 that help the cause…

"They include an overhaul of the system for compensating workers injured on the job, a law designed to strengthen the state’s system for protecting abused children, a law addressing shoddy work in crime labs and a law that will give Texas juries the option of sentencing capital murderers to life without parole.

Previously, capital murderers who were sentenced to life in prison instead of the death penalty were eligible for parole after serving 40 years.

Also beginning Thursday, minors will have to get parental permission before they can get an abortion — unless a young woman can convince a judge that she is sufficiently mature to make the decision or that her parents’ involvement would put her at risk of physical or emotional abuse.

Previous law required only that parents be notified of their daughters’ abortions."
