The latest from Terry

When my Mom was pregnant with me her Dr. told her that carrying me to term was dangerous & she needed to have an abortion. "She decided" that she would take the risk & give birth. As much as I love life, I would trade it in an instant for my mothers right to choose.

“I love Jesus, and I am a practicing Catholic, who is in Mass every Sunday & often on weekdays. I dont believe in abortion, but my conservative values and belief in limited government dont allow me to support big brother in a womans Dr. office telling her what to do with her body.”

“If the #Txlege was pro-life, they would be focused on expanding access to women’s healthcare and contraceptives, not enacting laws that hurt our marginalized and vulnerable communities most.”
