Texas Governor Signs Abortion, Marriage Bills

From my old home state of Texas, comes this piece of pro-family news:
Fort Worth, Texas, Jun. 07 (LifesiteNews.com/CWN) - Two strongly pro-family bills, one of which was passed in the Texas Senate last week, have received the signature of Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

The first bill, which requires the consent of parents in order for a minor to procure an abortion, comes into effect with Perry's signature. It is a stronger law than the previous one governing minors seeking abortion, which only required that parents be notified of their daughter's intentions.

The second bill is a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Texas voters are set to cast ballots on the amendment this November 7, making the governor's signature a symbolic approval. "A nurturing home with a loving mother and loving father is the best way to guide our children down the proper path," said the governor in promoting the proposed amendment.
