Saturday, January 24th, on the steps of the Capitol in Austin, I will have the pleasure to speak during the Texas Rally for Life. I will speak about how adoption is a loving parenting choice for people experiencing unplanned pregnancies and how the Choose Life License plate (HB 109) will help promote adoption within pregnancy resource centers. I will also have the opportunity to share my personal adoption experience.
Will you come out and support adoption? Will you come learn how a simple thing like a license plate can advance adoption awareness in pregnancy centers and add a choice for women?
Often times when people talk about rallies many may think of hostile situations. We conjure up the all-too familiar protesting images of pushy people screaming at the 'opposition.' Protests have their place, but this event is not a protest or I would not be attending. I am not one who gets into hateful wars of words or wave hate-filled signs in people's faces. I am a gentle person; one who loves people, one who listens first thereby earning the right to be heard.
Make plans to join me and about 2000 people from over 10o life-affirming organizations from around the great state of Texas to support life and adoption and to encourage efforts to see the Choose Life plate become a reality for Texas drivers. Governor Perry will be headlining the afternoon. For a complete schedule of events and a map click here.
Adoption saves lives and creates families. How can we not support it?
See you at the Capitol!
