TOPIC-In February, a Texas law went into effect requiring physicians and their expectant-mother patients review a sonogram before an abortion can be performed. It’s one of the more innovative pro-life laws going viral among legislatures these days.
But the Lone Star State isn’t done yet.
Leading pro-life advocate and founder of EMC Front Line Pregnancy Centers, Chris Slattery, is available for interviews to discuss the pro-life movement in the Texas statehouse that has achieved yet another major legal victory just this past week—this time, getting federal court approval to defund Planned Parenthood.
Originally, a federal judge imposed an injunction on the law, passed earlier this year, pending the results of a lawsuit Planned Parenthood had filed to challenge it. But, on Tuesday, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that ruling, allowing the law to move forward.
The Planned Parenthood trial is set for this coming October, but the 5th Circuit lifted the injunction because the Court expects that the organization’s case is too weak to win.
“Thank God for sanity when a state wisely chooses to defund America’s leading mega abortion provider and promoter, and our courts rule that it is Constitutional,” says Slattery.
For a longer look at Texas’ bold push forward, how this case might inspire other states to do the same, and the greater pro-life movement that seems to be surging across the country, particularly since the 2010 elections, call Special Guests right away to book the informative and insightful Chris Slattery.
ABOUT YOUR EXPERT GUEST CHRIS SLATTERY:
Chris Slattery founded Expectant Mother Care, also known as EMC FrontLine Pregnancy Centers, in 1985 in Manhattan. EMC has grown to 12 office locations, including Westchester, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Hudson County NJ. Chris was honored with the “Champion for Life” award, a pro-life tribute, from John Cardinal O’Connor, and had the privilege of being the Confirmation sponsor of the famous Dr. Bernard Nathanson, the producer of the acclaimed videos, The Silent Scream and Eclipse of Reason.
Chris opened NYC’s first full-time crisis pregnancy center locations, and quickly implemented on-site clinic care with ultrasound and full pre-natal care programs, 26 years ago. He did this to supplement the main work of crisis pregnancy counseling. EMC’s counselors have served more 110,000 girls and women since they opened, and have saved more than 40,000 from a certain abortion in that time. Thousands have turned to abstinent lifestyles as well. They provide one-on-one friendly counseling and, in many locations, on-site medical care, in addition to referrals for adoption, housing and legal aid, and material supplies for mothers and babies.
Chris has been sued by two NY State Attorney Generals, Robert Abrahms and Elliott Spitzer, the former Governor (D) of NY, as well as by numerous abortion mills. He also recently won a quick settlement of suit filed against a major NY abortion mill chain for their deceptive advertising in the Yellow Pages. Chris has been a pro-life leader for more than 30 years—organizing Operation Rescue in NYC, prayer vigils, protests at Planned Parenthood conferences, board meetings and abortion sites, Marches, Life Chains, Truth Tours, training sessions, conferences, press conferences, and lawsuits against his opponents.
Chris has been leading the charge against Bill #371 in the NYC Council to regulate pregnancy centers with onerous unconstitutional speech regulations.
Chris has granted thousands of TV, radio and print media interviews with local, national and international media in the past 30 years.
