Council 10463 Participated in the Austin Texas Right to Life March

Our Lady of the Lake Council 10463 joined thousands of Texans at the Texas Rally for Life at the Capitol in Austin. Council 10463 has 80 members.

We wanted to show the media and our elected officials that our council and Texas is PRO-LIFE! The 2016 Texas Rally for Life commemorated the 43rd anniversary of the tragic Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973, which made abortion legal throughout all nine months of pregnancy. In the wake of Roe, legal abortion in our nation has claimed the lives of more than 57 million unborn children and has hurt countless women and men.

The Rally featured pro-life speakers and leaders from across the state. Our presence reaffirmed recent pro-life gains, including passage of House Bill 2; as well as the passage and upholding of the Sonogram Bill, the strongest in the nation; the defunding of Planned Parenthood by as much as $29 million per year.
