TexPac is the political arm of the Texas Medical Association and is an infamous anti-life PAC, not just protecting abortion, but euthanasia and death panels as well. (TMA).
When the famous Pro-Life bill HB 2 was SB 5 (before Wendy Davis Filibustered SB 5 and it was reintroduced as HB 2) TMA stood strongly against the bill. Texas Right to Life has documented TMA’a opposition to Pro-Life legislation going back to at least 2003! Including support of the infamous Texas death panel law. See "Texas Medical Association Protects Abortionists" on the Texas Right to Life Website for more details.
The Fisher Endorsement
The Fisher endorsement is the most disappointing, but comes as no surprise at this point. Scott Fisher is a Bedford pastor challenging conservative hero Jonathan Stickland. Fisher has clearly sold his soul. The Bedford Pastor has engaged in an unbiblical smear campaign against his fellow Christian opponent <click here> (apparently using information obtained by a known Democrat Operative <click here>). When campaign financial reports came out it was learned that the pastor with a pro-life history had received thirty pieces of silver (actually $10,000, more than 10% of Fisher’s total contributions) from TexPac (see more: click here ). In a recent article analyzing the recent campaign finance reports, the liberal Fort Worth Startle-Gram tried to sell Fisher as a "social conservative" while conveniently omitting the fact that over 10% of his money was coming from anti-pro-life TexPac. Now he is endorsed by TexPac as well. On the other hand Stickland is endorsed by Texas Right to Life and has a 100% Pro-Life voting record.
The Geren Endorsement
The endorsement of Charlie Geren comes as no surprise. Geren recently went through the halls of the capitol, ripping down pro-life signs from the doors of pro-life representatives. Just a few months ago, when Planned Parenthood came to Austin to lobby for money to murder babies in the womb, Pro Life Representative Jonathan Stickland put a sign (supplied by Texas Right to Life) on his office door identifying himself as a former fetus. Geren made the news (Star-Telegram March 11, 2015) when he ripped the sign from Stickland’s door and stormed into his office yelling at Stickland’s staff.
The Cook Endorsement
Back in May Cook wrote a public letter defending late-term abortions on babies who are diagnosed with a disability. <Click here> And as Chair of the Texas House State Affairs Committee, Cook has repeatedly used his position to water down and even block pro-life legislation. More on Cook’s Anti-Pro-Life record is presented by Adam Cahnman.
The Straus Endorsement
In November House Speaker Straus released Interim Charges for the Texas House of Representatives for the 84th Legislature and only included one marginally Pro-Life topic in his charges. Read More Here: Speaker Straus misses the mark on Pro-Life concerns with Interim Charges for the Texas House
Other Key DFW Endorsements
TexPac is also endorsing Andrew Piel against conservative hero Tony Tinderholt (Dist. 94 Arlington), and Bennett Ratliff against conservative Matt Rinaldi (Dist. 115 Irving)
In all of these cases TexPac is endorsing Austin Establishment candidates against Pro-Life conservatives.
Beware of TexPac!
