Stephanie Klick Does Not Believe Preborn Babies are "Persons" (Understanding Equal Protection)


 


Stephanie Klick Does Not Believe Preborn Babies are "Persons"
(Understanding Equal Protection)
By
James Scott Trimm

  

In the runoff race between Klick and Lowe for House District 91, Lowe has been criticized for supporting "Equal Protection" for the unborn.  Klick's camp has falsely claimed, based on his belief in "Equal Protection", that Lowe supports the death penalty for women who abort their babies.  This is actually false, because David (and myself) are opposed to the death penalty (based on the potential for wrongful convictions)and the Abolish Abortion bill which Klick blocked, and which Lowe supports (HB3326) does not mention the death penalty, only equal protection.  But what does "equal protection" mean, and why is is so important?

Section 1 of the 14th Amendment to the  US Constitution reads:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

This amendment says that a "person" cannot be deprived of "life, liberty or property" without due process.  This, friends, is your Constitutional right to life!  And the second phrase is very important.  This second phrase says that a person is also guaranteed "equal protection of the laws".    This critical right prevents there from being one "due process" to protect one class of people, and a different "due process" to protect another group of people.  This amendment was passed, because, at the time, there were many who did not want African Americans to have the same protection under the law, as a white man.  Today we call these people bigots.

There is a new class of bigots today.  Now we have a group of people who do not want Pre-born babies to have the same protection under the law as those already born.  This is a new type of bigotry.

 Now if we want to abolish abortion in Texas, we simply need to declare that the pre-born are "persons".  This makes prefect sense, since the Preamble of the US Constitution promises to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" and our "posterity" are by definition, the pre-born.

By declaring the pre-born to be "persons" we guarantee their "right o life" and their right to "equal protection under the law".  It is very important to realize that a "person" under the 14th Amendment must be entitled to both.  If you do not believe in "equal protection" for the pre-born, then you do not believe, at least Constitutionally, that they are "persons" with a "right to life".  According to the 14th Amendment, all three of these things: personhood, the right to life, and equal protection of the law, go together.  No one of them can truly exist without the others.  

My point is, that if you do not believe in equal protection for the pre-born, (And Stephanie Klick has telegraphed very strongly that she does not, in criticizing Lowe for having this belief) then you do not really believe that the pre-born are actually "persons" with a 14th amendment right to life, and you are part of this new class of bigotry!

 Unfortunately, Texas Right to Life, which has recently gone full RINO (see my last blog Texas Right to Life Goes Full RINO)  and they appear to have also opposed the idea that the pre-born should have "equal protection".  

There is a pro-life organization in Texas that is fighting for Texas to recognize the pre-born as persons with both a right to life and equal protection under the 14th amendment, that organization is Abolish Abortion Texas, and they are very much worthy of your support.

PS:  For the record, since yesterday I have been blocked from commenting on the Texas Right to Life Facebook Page. Of course I am even more Pro-Life than they have become. Apparently their position has become so weak, that it cannot withstand debate! To Texas Right to Life: " Have I now become your enemy because I tell you the truth?" (Gal. 4:16). To everyone else: If you want to abolish abortion in Texas not just regulate it, support David Lowe for HD 91 in the runoff, and support Abolish Abortion Texas. Texas Right to Life has gone full RINO!

Lowe vs. Klick: Is there a Constitutional Right to an Abortion?

 

 

Lowe vs. Klick: Is there a Constitutional Right to an Abortion?
By
James Scott Trimm

There is a battle taking place for the soul of the Republican Party of Texas.   Should we just accept that there is a Constitutional right to an abortion and then seek to regulate abortion within the framework of Roe v. Wade?  Or should we ignore Roe v. Wade, declare that an unborn baby is a "person" and therefore entitled to "equal protection under the law" with a right to life under the 14th Amendment? 

At the center of this battle is the race for Texas House District 91 between Stephanie Klick, who blocked the Abolish Abortion bill (HB3326) called for as a Texas GOP Legislative Priority in the Texas GOP Platform, and David Lowe, who has pledged to support it.

This blog has been a long time in the coming, but the time has come that these words had to be said.  Over the years I have often blogged in support of Texas Right to Life as Texas "real" Pro-Life organization, and exposing Texas Alliance for Life as a "fake" Pro-Life organization, which exists only to give cover to RINOs who were not Pro-Life at all.

As early as 2015 I blogged about this in my blog The Establishment’s Plan to Oust Jonathan Stickland and a few weeks later in  See I Told You So! Stickland’s Challenger Exposed Again

I spoke out for Texas Right to Life over Texas Alliance for life again in December 2015 when  Houston Methodist Succeeds in Effort to Let Chris Dunn Die and again in January 2016 in my blog Joe Pojman’s TAL Declares Euthanasia "Morally Legitimate"

The point here is, that I have, in the past, long supported Texas Right to Life as Texas "real" Pro-Life organization. But that now has to change.

Back in 2015 I wrote a blog titled How Texas Can Reclaim Our Sovereignty and in 2016 I wrote the initial draft of The Texas Sovereignty Act which was filed in the Texas House and Texas Senate, and would have created a mechanism for Texas to enforce the Tenth Amendment, and among other things ignore Roe v. Wade and abolish abortion in Texas!  

Later that same session Tony Tinderholt filed the first bill to outright abolish abortion in Texas by ignoring Roe v. Wade and declaring the unborn a "person" (A position I had supported in yet another early blog)

To my shock, I could not seem to get my friends at Texas Right to Life to support either bill to abolish abortion in Texas!   Here we had not one, but two bills that could end abortion in Texas, and Texas Right to Life was unwilling to support either one of them!  It was then that I realized that there were people who had built careers and livelihoods around fighting abortion, people who's careers would be over, if they ever actually won the fight!  

In fact both bills have been filed and refiled in every legislative session since, and Texas Right to Life has refused to support them to this very day!

Instead, Texas Right to Life has adopted a philosophy of "working within the framework of Roe. v. Wade" to regulate rather than actually abolish abortion.  This philosophy actually means effectively acknowledging that there is a constitutional right to an abortion.  Through this philosophy Texas Right to Life has even supported bills that actually codified Roe v. Wade into Texas law!  The idea has been to exploit loopholes in Roe v. Wade to regulate abortion, rather than to actually abolish abortion.  In fact, some of the bills passed under this philosophy have actually codified Roe v. Wade into Texas law!

This philosophy has been compared to that surrounding slavery in the 19th century.  Abolitionists wanted to end slavery outright, which "Incrementalists" wanted to phase slavery out through regulation an "incremental" steps.  This "incrementalism"  is reminiscent of Zeno's Dichotomy Paradox, where one takes a step towards a goal, only covering half the distance to the goal in each step.  One would never actually reach the goal, only approach it into infinity.  

Once again we have Abolitionists, who want to actually abolish abortion, declaring the unborn as "persons" guaranteed equal protection under the law, and Incrementalists who want to endlessly regulate abortion "within the framework of Roe v. Wade."  

The Heartbeat Bill, for example, seeks to work within the framework of Roe v. Wade with a loophole to the enforcement mechanism.  What many do not realize is that this bill, at the same time, codifies in Texas law that is is legal to kill an unborn person who does not yet have a heartbeat, something which should never be codified in Texas law! 

There is a huge problem with the enforcement mechanism for the heartbeat bill.  Instead of the State enforcing the law, which Roe v. Wade would prohibit, because there is a supposed Constitutional right to an abortion, the bill allows individual citizens to sue anyone involved in the abortion for $10,000 dollars.  The problem is, that even if this loophole is found Constitutional, it will have established a Supreme Court precedent that would also allow states to pass laws curtailing any Constitutional right (Remember, this bill does not challenge Roe v. Wade, but seeks to work within its framework, creating an enforcement loophole).  States could pass laws empowering any citizen to sue another citizen for owning or carrying a firearm.  States could even pass laws allowing atheists to sue Christians or Jews in matters that should enjoy first amendment protection.  In fact any actual Constitutional right right could be nullified in this manner.  This is the danger of trying to work within the framework of Roe v. Wade and accepting that there is a Constitutional right to an abortion, and then trying to find a way to nullify a supposed Constitutional Right!  

The key to abolishing abortion in Texas, is to work within the framework of the actual Constitution, not the Supreme Court's opinion.   The actual Constitution states that it's purpose is to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" (Preamble) and our "posterity" are by definition, the unborn!  We must declare that the unborn are "persons" and therefor entitled to 14th amendment protections afforded "persons" under Amendment 14 Section 1 of the US Constitution, not to be deprived of "life liberty or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."  (Click here for my blog on how Texas can ignore Roe v. Wade )

This means that even if the courts were to try to create a supposed "due process" for an abortion, the unborn would still also enjoy the same laws to protect them from being deprived of life that you and I enjoy (such as laws against murder etc.)

Liberals and RINOS hate this idea so much, that they have tried to spin this to mean that a woman who has an abortion would be subject to the death penalty.  But this is simply not true.  First of all, the death penalty is a separate issue entirely.  Many, like myself, support personhood and equal protection for the unborn, while being opposed to the death penalty in either case*. Moreover, this is also an example of the left presenting a super-unlikely scenario as if it would be likely to actually happen.  For a mother who aborted her child to be subjected to a death penalty, the following things would have to happen, that would not, in reality, happen.  First a detective would have to investigate an abortion as a capitol murder.  Then he would have to submit the case to an assistant DA who would have to get his DA to sign off on the prosecution.  Then he would have to present this to a grand jury, who would have to choose to hand down an indictment.  Then a judge or jury would have to convict and hand down a death sentence, which would then have to pass thru several mandatory appeals.  Even if a case went that far (which would not happen in the real world) then the governor would have to choose not to exercise clemency in such a case.  There is just no way that a woman would ever actually bee subjected to the death penalty for an abortion.  But liberals and RINOS have to argue this bizarre crazy scenario, because they cannot allow the unborn to be recognized as "persons" with a right to life!

Regarding Texas Right to Life, it also bears mentioning here that there has been a huge turnover in Texas Right to Life Personnel in recent months.  As recently reported in Current Revolt:

In November of 2021, news broke that Jim Graham executive director of TXRTL and Kari Beckman, founder of home school hybrid Regina Caeli Academy, were involved an an affair.

Texas Right to Life and Regina Caeli Academy responded by removing both Graham and Beckman from their perspective organizations, with Graham also being removed from the board of Regina Caeli as he was connected to both organizations.

This left TXRTL in a very odd situation considering Jim Graham’s wife, Elizabeth Graham, was an active director for TXRTL.
Sources close to TXRTL have told us that this week Elizabeth Graham has been terminated from her role as Director.

That same source also told Current Revolt that Development Director, Rebekah Lentz, had left the organization citing frustrations with leadership at TXRTL. For those unaware, the Development Director role is the key position responsible for fundraising and maintaining donor relationships.

We’re told with the loss of both Jim Graham, Rebekah Lentz, and now Elizabeth Graham, the organization is left struggling to maintain relationships with big money donors.
(Current Revolt; TROUBLE INSIDE TEXAS RIGHT TO LIFE?)

Meanwhile, in recent years, a new Texas organization has come on the scene called Abolish Abortion Texas, which does not believe there is a Constitutional right to an abortion, does not "work within the framework of Roe v. Wade" but instead advocates ignoring Roe. v. Wade, declaring the personhood of  the unborn, and guaranteeing the unborn "equal protection under the law" thus protecting them from being deprived of their right to life under the 14th Amendment.

Texas Right to Life has now even started co-opting the "abolish" and "abolition" terminology in a masterful exercise of "double speak" so as to pretend to support abolition that they have in reality actually opposed.. 

This conflict has now culminated in a battle for Texas House Seat 91, between RINO establishment candidate Stephanie Klick (who has become infamous for blocking all bills to protect children from gender modification, which she has recently even refereed to as a "type of care") and decorated combat veteran and Abolitionist, David Lowe.

During the last legislative session, Klick, as chair of the Health Committee, blocked HB3326, the Abolish Abortion Bill, refusing to even give it a hearing!  This was the only bill that would have actually abolished abortion in Texas!  

This, despite the fact that HB3326 was one of only eight Legislative Priorities set by the delegate on the Texas GOP Platform:

Abolition of Abortion

Abolish abortion by ensuring the right to life and equal protection of the laws to all preborn children from the moment of fertilization.

Texas GOP Legislative Priorities

Texas Right to Life has endorsed RINO Stephanie Klick as a "Pro Life Hero" who championed their agenda of keeping abortion legal in Texas, but simply regulating abortion within the framework of Roe v. Wade.  The truth is that Klick refused to even give a hearing to the only Abortion bill that was a Texas GOP Legislative Priority, single handedly killing that bill!

Lets make this clear, the new establishment Texas Right to Life has endorsed Klick as a "Pro-Life Hero", while in reality Klick blocked the Abolish Abortion Bill (HB3326), the only pro-life bill actually called for as a Legislative Priority in the Texas Republican Party Platform!

 


Meanwhile Abolish Abortion Texas has effectively backed David Lowe, who has pledged his support for the Abolish Abortion Bill.  (They have not actually endorsed Lowe, as they are not a PAC, but they have educated voters about Klick.)

 


 


 

Stephanie Klick, who has been endorsed by both Texas Right to Life and fake pro-life group Texas Alliance for Life, claims to have the support of "every major pro-life group in Texas."  She fails to realize that Abolish Abortion Texas has become a major player in fighting Abortion in Texas, and can no longer be discounted and dismissed by the establishment!

In the Primary March 1st, David Lowe dragged Klick kicking and screaming into a runoff. 

Klick has falsely accused David Lowe of supporting the death penalty for women who have abortions.  Klick's strained reasoning is that Lowe, in agreement with the Texas Republican Party Platform legislative priorities, supports "equal protection" and personhood for the unborn.  

Lowe, however, has said he does not support the death penalty at all, due to the potential for irrevocable false convictions.  And HB3326 does not even mention the death penalty, only equal protection and personhood. 

In fact, Klick's problem is not with David Lowe so much, as with the Texas Republican Party platform Legislative Priorities!  In fact in the last two sessions, as a committee chair, Klick has killed three Texas GOP legislative priorities! (Election Integrity, protecting children from gender modification, and the Abolish Abortion Bill.)

I sent an email to Texas Right to Life back in November (just thee days after their Executive Director had been exposed for his affair)  and finally got a response just this week (March 22nd) saying:

Sorry that I'm just now seeing this message. Stephanie Klick is one of the most effective and committed Pro-Life representatives in Texas history. Unfortunately, David Lowe is demonstrating very disappointing behavior by lying about Stephanie's record. Klick passed an abolition bill out of her committee twice as part of the historic 13 Pro-Life bills she passed out of her committee last session. David Lowe is unqualified for our endorsement based on his commitment to oppose any Pro-Life bill that doesn't utilize a strategy of nullification. I've worked with David Lowe before and I think he's a good man. But his naivete and self-righteous stance on strategy would ensure more preborn babies are killed and be dangerously detrimental to the Pro-Life cause.

Thanks,
Luke Bowen
Political Director
Texas Right to Life

 First of all TRTL says "Stephanie Klick is one of the most effective and committed Pro-Life representatives in Texas history" Because she has pushed thru their agenda of working within the framework of Roe v. Wade and effectively recognizing that there is a Constitutional right to an abortion, and that our best hope is to regulate abortion.  But Klick actually single handedly killed the only bill that would have actually abolished abortion in Texas (HB3326) and which was the only Proi-Life bill that was a Legislative Priority item in the GOP Platform! 

Texas Right to Life claims Lowe is "lying about Stephanie's record. Klick passed an abolition bill out of her committee twice as part of the historic 13 Pro-Life bills she passed out of her committee last session"  But the reality is that Klick killed the only bill to actually abolish abortion (HB3326) and Texas Right to Life is now using double speak to refer to bills as "abolition" bills that would not actually abolish abortion in Texas! (and which also don't fit the description in the Texas Republican Party Platform Legislative Priorities)  Sadly they are doing this so as to confuse the public, which actually wants to abolish abortion, because they feel threatened by "Abolish Abortion Texas" and to try to identify themselves with a GOP Platform Legislative Priority that calls for abolishing abortion.  

Texas Right to Life says  David Lowe is unqualified for our endorsement based on his commitment to oppose any Pro-Life bill that doesn't utilize a strategy of nullification. Actually Lowe has never said any such thing.  However Lowe has pledged his support for the Abolish Abortion bill which will be filed again in the next session.  When Texas Right to Life bashes the "strategy of nullification" they refer to enforcing the tenth amendment, as well as declaring the unborn to be "persons" with 14th amendment protections.  When the criticize "nullification" or Roe v. Wade, they are using carefully crafted words to say that they now believe the correct strategy is to accept Roe v. Wade, accept that there really is a Constitutional right to an abortion, and  that we must work within the framework of Roe v. Wade to regulate abortion!

In fact, when Texas Right to Life says this. they are essentially saying that David Lowe is not eligible for their endorsement because he actually supports the only Pro-Life bill that was a Texas GOP Priority Legislative Platform item!   In other words, actually supporting the Texas GOP Platform Priority Legislative Priorities, makes one intelligible for the Texas Right to Life endorsement.  This is also saying that refusing to accept that their is a Constitutional right to an abortion, now makes one intelligible to receive a Texas Right to Life endorsement!

So we are all now left with one question that we must ask ourselves "Do you believe that there is a constitutional right to an abortion?

If your answer is "no", then path is clear, ignore the Roe v. Wade opinion, and work within the tenth amendment of the US Constitution (Remember SCOTUS is not the Constitution, but only another branch of the Federal Government which the 10th Amendment restrains), declare the unborn to be "persons" with 14th Amendment rights and thus abolish abortion in Texas!

If, like me, you believe we need to abolish abortion in Texas, there are three things you can do:

1. Help David Lowe defeat Stephanie Klick (if you don't live in district 91, then donate to Lowe's campaign and/or volunteer).  

2. Help Abolish Abortion Texas  (and stop donating to "Pro-Life" group that are now advocating working within the framework of Roe v. Wade, donate to Abolish Abortion Texas, and has actually fought against the Texas Republican Party Legislative Priority bill to abolish abortion!

3. Check out Free the States, a group working with all states to Abolish Abortion 

One more thing: Beware!  Leftists within our party are already working to change our platform to a form that will eliminate "equal protection" and personhood for the unborn, and instead accept that there is a Constitutional Right to an abortion, guised under the idea of "working within the framework of Roe v. Wade. Look for establishment RINOS to work to "walk back" our Texas GOP Platform on this issue at the State convention this June!

 ------------------


* My own reasons for opposing the death penalty is that we will never achieve the Biblical criteria of at least two witnesses ( Deut. 17:6 ; 19:15) who must be subject themselves to execution for perjury, should they be found to perjure themselves (Deut. 19:16-19) and who must also initiate the execution themselves by their own hands ( Deut 17:7).  Without these criteria, I don't believe human governments have authority from God to carry out a death sentence.

New TV Ad Calls for Klick's Resignation Over Child Gender Mutilation Issue

 

 

 


A new TV ad from the Conservative Response Team is calling for Stephanie Klick's resignation because Klick killed the only bill which would have made gender modification of a child outright illegal in Texas!  You can view the ad, which is now running on TV, below:

 

In a recent blog, I wrote:

Klick never even gave s hearing to House Bill 68 which would have made gender modification of a child outright illegal in Texas.   Her office was flooded with calls from the public asking that this bill be given a hearing, but she ignored them all.   

And:

The Texas Senate passed Senate Bill 1646 which also would have outlawed gender modification of children, but guess what?  That Bill was held up in Klick's committee too.  She also never even gave it a hearing.  

There was one very weak bill, House Bill 1399, which would not have actually outlawed gender modification of children, but which would have effectively banned insurance companies from providing liability insurance to doctors who performed such procedures.  Klick let this bill sit for 40 days in here committee!  Finally she gave it a token hearing when enough time had passed that it could be killed in the Calendars Committee.  

(See my recent blog Rino Stephanie Klick Blocked Bills to Protect Children from Gender Mutilation! )

In a recent episode of the Luke  Macias Show, Luke Macias pulls the curtain back and explains how Chairman Stephanie Klick killed legislation that would have ended the barbaric practice of genital mutilation and chemical castration of Texas children (as seen below)


And in another recent blog, I showed how Klick's campaign received money from PACs associated with the clinics that perform these draconian procedures, as well as from the the Pharmaceutical company that manufactures Lupron,  a manufactured version of a hormone used as part of transgender hormone therapy, and as a hormone blocker given to children.  

(See my recent blog Stephanie Klick Sent Children to Castration for Campaign Money! )

Stephanie Klick is my State Representative (I live in her district).  

My Precinct Chair for my Precinct (3527), Mary Childs, is endorsing Stephanie Klick.  When I reached out to Mary Childs on the issue, she replied "I am backing Stephanie so take me off your list. "

I replied:

Mary,

You are not on any list that I maintain.  I contacted you because you are my precinct chair.  I am one of your constituents.   Are you saying that you do not wish to hear from your constituents?

James Trimm
 
That was way back on October 5th, and she has never replied.
 
At this point I am announcing my candidacy for Tarrant County Precinct Chair for Precinct 3527!

Stephanie Klick Sent Children to Castration for Campaign Money!

 



In a recent blog I revealed to you that RINO Stephanie Klick blocked every bill that would have protected children from gender mutilation!

 If you have not read that blog, you absolutely should!

In my previous blog I revealed to you that Rino Klick had received $4,000 in donations from PACs affiliated with the Southwest's largest children's gender clinic in Dallas and Rio Grande (and which caters to transgender illegal immigrants).  

 We can now report that Stephanie Klick also received another $1,000 in campaign contributions from Abbvie PAC!  AbbVie is the Pharmaceutical company that manufactures Lupron,  a manufactured version of a hormone used as part of transgender hormone therapy, and as a hormone blocker given to children.  

Stephanie Klick has sold us out to big Pharma and transgender activists! That she sold out her constituents (I am one of them) and our party platform is one thing.  That is sadly politics as usual for Klick.  We are getting used to being betrayed by Rinos.

But this time, Klick has not just sold out her constituents and her party, she has sold out our children! I cannot stress this enough: little boys will be castrated because of what Stephanie Klick has done in blocking bills to protect them!

We read in Matthew:

 [5] And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
[6] But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
[7] Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
(Matthew 18:5-7 KJV)

Matthew likens the children to the Messiah saying "And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me." (Matt. 18:5).  Judas betrayed the Messiah for thirty pieces of silver, and Stephanie Klick has betrayed our Texas children for just $5,000 in campaign contributions (that we have discovered so far)!

This is pure evil!  And this is why Stephanie Klick must go!

Now Conservative David Lowe is running against Klick for her seat in the State House (District 91).    David Lowe is a US Army veteran who served our country for twelve years in the wake of 9-11, 43 months in combat zones.  David is endorsed by Jeff Younger (who has made headlines trying to protect his 8 year old son from gender reassignment and gender mutilation).  

I live in Texas House District 91, Stephanie Klick is my State Representative, and I am endorsing David Lowe as well!

Once Again Rick Perry Shows his True Colors

 


Once Again Rick Perry Shows his True Colors
By
James Scott Trimm


Former Texas Governor Rick Perry has shown his true colors again by endorsing the Austin Establishment Candidate Stephanie Klick, who has become infamous for having Blocked Bills to Protect Children from Gender Mutilation!
 
The last time that the Austin Establishment Machine pulled out Rick Perry and dusted him off to endorse a Texas House Candidate in Tarrant County was back in 2015 when Rick Perry endorsed the Austin Establishment recruit who, at that time. was challenging conservative hero and taxpayer champion Jonathan Stickland.  (I blogged about that at the time). 

My State Representative Stephanie Klick was first voted into office with strong conservative "Tea Party" support.  And at first she was very conservative.  In 2013 her first session Texans for Fiscal Responsibility "Fiscal Responsibility Index" was a whopping 99!  But sadly, like so many politicians, she has forgotten Conservatism.  Look at how her Fiscal Responsibility Index numbers have plummeted, getting lower and lower each legislative session, as Klick began to turn RINO and sell us out:

2013  99
2015  90
2017  76
2019  56
2021  54

 
 In 2019 Stephanie Klick used her power as a committee chair to kill Election reform in Texas, which was a GOP legislative priority.  

In 2021 she again used her power as a committee chair to kill all bills to ban gender modification of children. (A GOP Legislative priority)
 
In 2021 Klick also used her power as a committee chair to kill the only bill that would have outright abolished abortion in Texas. (Another GOP legislative priority).
 
And in 2021 Klick also voted against an amendment that would have extended Constitutional Carry to all adults eligible to own a firearm.
 

 

In once again endorsing an Austin Establishment Rino, Perry has again demonstrated one of the many reasons that he has been rejected by conservatives, and why his presidential bid was never able to get off of the ground.
 
 In 1987, Democrat legislator Perry voted for a $5.7 billion tax increase.
 

 
In 1988 Perry supported Al Gore in the 1988 Democratic presidential primaries and even worked for Gore's campaign in Texas

In late 1989 Perry switched parties just in time to run for Texas Agriculture Commissioner… his campaign manager was none other than the infamous establishment crony Karl Rove!

In April 1993, Perry, while serving as Texas agriculture commissioner, expressed support for Hillarycare! 

In 2001 Rick Perry spearheaded and signed the Texas Dream Act, which gave state Illegal aliens in Texas the right to attend Texas Universities with “in state” tuition fees.  Thus giving a state subsidy to illegal aliens, and making it actually charging illegal aliens less that residents of other states to attend Texas Universities.

In February 2007, Perry issued an executive order mandating that Texas girls receive the HPV vaccine, whether they or their families liked it or not.  Fortunately in May 2007, the Texas Legislature passed a bill undoing this totalitarian order. The only reason Perry did not veto the bill, was because he said that he knew his veto would have been overruled.  He then but blamed the legislature for the deaths of future cancer victims.  Bu when it was convenient in his presidential campaign, he claimed the whole fiasco was a "misjudgment".
 
 
Now that his political career is over, Rick Perry is showing his true colors by endorsing Austin Establishment candidates against true conservatives running for the Texas legislature.
 
In 2015 Rick Perry targeted Jonathan Stickland, a man who has the most consistent conservative voting record in the Texas House!  In that race Perry endorsed Straus's hand picked candidate against Conservative Hero Jonathan Stickland!

Now the Austin Establishment has pulled out Rick Perry again, this time to endorse Austin Establishment Candidate Stephanie Klick against grassroots conservative candidate David Lowe!
 
But Texans know who Rick Perry is.    
 
I am a Stephanie Klick constituent and I encourage you to support David Lowe as her replacement!
 
Here is how you can help David Lowe:
 
1. If you are in House District 91 you can vote for David Lowe!
 
2. You can donate to the David Lowe Campaign.  Lowe is a grassroots candidate.  Klick will out raise him with corporate and PAC donations, like the $4,000 dollar donations her campaign received from PACS representing a clinic that performs gender mutilations on children in Texas!  Lowe won't be getting their financial support, he needs yours!
 
3. You can volunteer!  If you live in this part of Texas, you can help walk neighborhoods.  Even if you do not, you can help with phone banks from home!  There are plenty of ways to help.  Klick will have the money to pay hired campaign workers to walk neighborhoods, but David Lowe only has you! 

In closing I am reminded of an old story of a couple about to be married. They lived in a small village and had invited everyone from the village to their wedding. Each guest was asked to bring a jug of wine for the celebration. Each jug of wine would be poured into a giant vat to be shared by everyone. As the wedding day approached, each member of the village thought, “If I do not bring my jug of wine, it will not be missed among so many other jugs.”

The wedding day arrived and the couple were married and everyone was excited. But as the tap of the vat was opened, not a drop of wine flowed from it, for everyone had been sure that someone else would provide their share.


Do not count on someone else to do your part, you do your part!

Rino Stephanie Klick Blocked Bills to Protect Children from Gender Mutilation!

 


 
My State Representative Stephanie Klick was first voted into office with strong conservative "Tea Party" support.  And at first she was very conservative.  In 2013 her first session Texans for Fiscal Responsibility "Fiscal Responsibility Index" was a whopping 99!  But sadly, like so many politicians, she has forgotten Conservatism.  Look at how her Fiscal Responsibility Index numbers have plummeted, getting lower and lower each legislative session, as Klick began to turn RINO and sell us out:

2013  99
2015  90
2017  76
2019  56
2021  54

How low could Klick go in selling out the conservative principles she has professed? In 2021 she single handedly blocked legislation to to protect children from being subjected to gender reassignment medical procedures, including procedures to castrate young boys!

You would think that this would have been no problem to outlaw in Texas.  Moreover outlawing gender modification of children was designated by the delegates of the Texas Republican Party as a  Legislative Priority for the 2021 session!  

The gatekeeper of all of the child gender modification bills in the House was my State Representative Stephanie Klick, who was chair of the committee to which all of these bills were assigned.  

Klick never even gave s hearing to House Bill 68 which would have made gender modification of a child outright illegal in Texas.   Her office was flooded with calls from the public asking that this bill be given a hearing, but she ignored them all.

A father who is fighting to stop his ex-wife from subjecting his son to genital mutilation surgery says the Republican leadership in the Texas House refuses to support legislation ending the practice.

Jeff Younger has made headlines for his years-long fight to protect his 8-year-old son, James, from the scarring surgery....

Younger took part in a meeting between Toth and Klick about the bill last month and decided to come on the record with Texas Scorecard to express some concerns he has as a result of the conversation.

Younger indicated that the meeting was on the subject of the bill. He says Klick refused to support the bill in the meeting and she expressed concern that it would instead “set the wrong tone” in any public hearing and “trans people would be traumatized” as a result of it being heard.

Younger says he felt none of her concerns were about his son but instead about the LGBT community itself and how it would make the House of Representatives look

The Texas Senate passed Senate Bill 1646 which also would have outlawed gender modification of children, but guess what?  That Bill was held up in Klick's committee too.  She also never even gave it a hearing.  

There was one very weak bill, House Bill 1399, which would not have actually outlawed gender modification of children, but which would have effectively banned insurance companies from providing liability insurance to doctors who performed such procedures.  Klick let this bill sit for 40 days in here committee!  Finally she gave it a token hearing when enough time had passed that it could be killed in the Calendars Committee.  

Jack Hadfield of National File wrote:

 ...former State Rep. Matt Rinaldi recently told National File that the plot to kill H.B. 1399 was a “team effort” by the Phelan leadership team. HB 1399 would have stripped doctors of their ability to acquire liability insurance if they engaged in child transgender surgeries or chemical castrations at their practices, and was killed last week. “The bill was slow-walked the entire way by Reps. Klick and Burrows, presumably under orders from the Speaker [Dade Phelan],” Rinaldi told National File. “The fact that House Republicans would work so hard to preserve sex change surgeries for minors is beyond contempt,” Rinaldi continued. “The Texas GOP needs a housecleaning next primary.

(Rinaldi is now Chair of the Republican Party of Texas).

Realize that while Klick was stonewalling and stalling legislation to outlaw gender modification of children in Texas, a Legislative Priority, she gave a hearing to HB2213 to protect exotic animals on day 9!

Why did Klick work so hard to insure little boys would continue to be castrated in Texas?  Maybe because PACS affiliated with the Southwest's largest children's gender clinic in Dallas and Rio Grande (and which caters to transgender illegal immigrants) paid the Klick campaign $4,000!   

So why is Klick being endorsed by most of the Precinct Chairs in her District, including my own Precinct Chair Mary Childs?  Because we Conservatives are being SOLD OUT by the Party Establishment!

Now Conservative David Lowe is running against Klick for her seat in the State House (District 91).    David Lowe is a US Army veteran who served our country for twelve years in the wake of 9-11, 43 months in combat zones.  David is endorsed by Jeff Younger (who has made headlines trying to protect his 8 year old son from gender reassignment and gender mutilation).  

I live in Texas House District 91, Stephanie Klick is my State Representative, and I am endorsing David Lowe as well!

Gun Grabbing Judge Munford ia also an Anti-Spanking Judicial Activist

 


 

Tarrant County Judge James Munford has earned the nickname the "Gun Grabbing Judge of Texas" for his anti-gun rights judicial activism,  However Judge Munford is also known as an anti-spanking judicial activist as well.  

In fact, Open Carry Texas, in a 2018 statement on Judicial activism, spoke out not only against Judge Munford's anti-gun judicial activism, but also his anti-spanking judicial activism, saying  "It appears that Judge Munford has issued other unsolicited orders involving parents’ rights to discipline children as is permissible under state law." 

In his column in the New Your Post in 2014 Kyle Smith wrote:

Prediction: In 10 years, it’ll be illegal to spank your kids.

Progressivism’s never-ending zeal to intrude into our lives, bust up families and force us all to march to its grim beat means that yesterday’s absurdity turns into today’s hot topic in lefty opinion magazines, which turns into tomorrow’s law.

If the people resist such a change — if an actual statute can’t be passed — that matters little. Judges will simply impose their vision on us, chiding us all for not having the imagination to recognize that what looks like a radical new policy was there all along, lacking only a wise interpreter to come along to clarify it.

(Kyle Smith; Why liberals will try to outlaw spanking; New York Post; July 26, 2014)

 

This is the general liberal method of operation.  If their leftist agenda cannot pass at the ballot box, then they will force that agenda upon us thru activist courts which legislate from the bench.


This is not just happening in other countries or in blue states, it is happening right here in Texas.  And not just in blue counties, this is happening right here in deep red Tarrant County! 

This blogger has obtained such a court order signed by Associate Judge James Munford!  In Tarrant County, James Munford’s court is one of these activist courts that legislate from the bench.  As I documented in a previous blog, Texas law allows a parent to spank and reasonably discipline their child.  This is a basic parental right. 

Yet Munford’s court wrote an order, not requested by either parent, which not only prohibits both parents from spanking their child, but from even sending their child to bed without dinner… or even dessert!  In fact the court order would even prohibit a parent from assigning their child extra chores!

The court order states:

There shall be no corporal punishment of the child[ren].  The child[ren] shall not be hit, slapped, spanked at any time.  There shall not be any physical contact with a child.

In addition, a parent shall not use any form of punishment that would require physical style punishment or an extreme style of punishment.  For example, pushups, chin-ups, running laps, physical restraints, withholding food etc.

A parent may only use non physical means to discipline the child[ren] such as grounding, removal of privileges or “time out”.
  
This is a bunch of liberal drivel we have come to expect to come out of a California court, not a Texas Court, and especially not one in Tarrant County!
 

 

You might have thought that such liberal nonsense would only come from a Democrat.  But not so, Associate Judge James Munford is an anti-spanking judicial activist, legislating from the bench against a parent’s rights to reasonably discipline their child in accordance with Texas law.  Munford does not uphold Texas law, he replaces it with his own liberal anti-spanking anti-child discipline agenda!


 

 Judge Munford will be up for reelection in in the 2022 elections.  We need to be getting prepared now to make sure that the Gun Grabbing Judge of Tarrant County, and judges like him, are "primaried" and voted out of office in 2022.
