Issue Position: Protecting Innocent Life

Issue Position

Charlie Geren has always been a faithful defender of the unborn. In 2011, he sponsored the bill that requires sonograms be performed before abortion procedures. Two years later, Charlie supported the ban on abortion in Texas after twenty weeks of gestation, and increased medical and licensing requirements for abortion providers.

Rocked by the recent Planned Parenthood scandal, Charlie stepped up to solve the problem in the recent session and led the way to some major pro-life achievements, including:

Stopping tax funds from reaching Planned Parenthood
Banning dismemberment abortions
Stopping the sale of human body parts
Banning late term and partial birth abortions
Charlie is endorsed by the Texas Alliance for Life and LifePAC.
