Important Legislation Filed to Protect Churches, Women’s Sports & Life

If there was ever any doubt, the first two weeks of the Biden Administration have made it clear of their support for radical Leftist policies - including taxpayer-funded abortion and radical transgender ideology. It will be up to Texas to help lead the fight against these dangerous policies, starting with the Texas Legislative Session that is now underway. Our team was on the ground at the Texas Capitol this week working hard to advance biblical values. 

We are excited to report several important bills, supported by Texas Values Action, were filed this week:

• We must protect religious freedom in Texas. That is why we support bills that would make churches and places of worship “essential,” prohibiting government from shutting them down during times of disaster, as we saw in 2020. This week, Rep. Jeff Leach and Sen. Kelly Hancock filed legislation (HJR 72, SJR 27) to further protect churches in the Texas Constitution. Other recently filed bills protecting churches include: SB 251 by Sen. Angela Paxton, HB 1239 by Rep. Scott Sanford and HB 525 by Rep. Matt Shaheen.

• Girls deserve to compete on a level playing field. When we ignore biological reality, girls are hurt because allowing males to compete in women’s sports destroys fair competition and women’s athletic opportunities. Sen. Charles Perry and Rep. Valoree Swanson have filed versions of the Fair Play in Sports Act (SB 373, HB 1458) to ensure fair competition in sports for Texas girls.

• This week, the Texas Freedom Caucus announced their legislative priorities for the session, including a pro-life “Heartbeat” bill and important religious liberty legislation. We look forward to working alongside members of the Freedom Caucus to get these important bills passed.
