Thank You for blessing our nation with freedom and thank You for the men and women who fought and are fighting still to protect that freedom. We acknowledge that You require of us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with You. Your word says that You are the giver of all good things.

Senator West offered the following resolution:

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize women judges from across the state and to welcome them to Austin on April 8, 2019, on the occasion of Texas Women Judges' Day at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Women judges in Texas have a storied history dating back to 1925, when Governor Pat Neff appointed Hortense Sparks Ward, Hattie Leah Henenberg, and Ruth Virginia Brazzil to serve as Texas Supreme Court justices for a case from which all of the existing judges on the court had recused themselves; and
WHEREAS, The case involved a fraternal organization that had so many prominent members that no qualified male judges or attorneys could be found who did not have a conflict of interest; the women appointed to serve on the supreme court were all well-established attorneys, and these pioneering women formed the first court in the nation composed entirely of women; and
WHEREAS, The first woman to hold a permanent position on a Texas bench was Sarah Tilghman Hughes, a highly esteemed state representative who was appointed to the 14th District Court in Dallas by Governor James Allred in 1935; Judge Hughes went on to win election to the seat for a full term and was reelected for six more terms; in 1961, she became the first woman to serve as a federal district judge in Texas; and
WHEREAS, Since that time, numerous women have served with distinction on the Texas Supreme Court and on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals; and
WHEREAS, Today, more than 1,100 women preside over courts throughout the state; they exemplify the highest standards of judicial conduct, and their dedication to public service is truly an inspiration to us all; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th Legislature, hereby commend the women judges of Texas for their service and their commitment to equal justice under the law and extend to them best wishes for a memorable Texas Women Judges' Day at the State Capitol; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in honor of this special occasion.

REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED

On motion of Senator Campbell and by unanimous consent, the remarks by Senators Lucio, Hinojosa, and Campbell honoring Troopers Moises Sanchez and Jacob Alexander Graves were ordered reduced to writing and printed in the Senate Journal as follows:

Senator Lucio:  Thank you, Mr. President. Members, it's with a heavy heart that I address you this afternoon. This weekend we had a horrible tragedy in the Rio Grande Valley. Trooper Moises Sanchez was shot while he was in the line of duty. He remains in stable but very critical condition after undergoing surgery. Last night, as I drove here from the Valley, I spoke to Colonel, Director Steve McGraw, and I can tell you he was taking it very, very hard. When a family member of an agency, you know, when something like this happens to a family member of an agency, it's just something that's very, very personal. And it should be personal to us because he's a member of our Texas family here, of those of us who represent the State of Texas and different agencies and departments. I also spoke to Chief Kevin Cooper of DPS, and he equally was saddened of the events that had occurred. He got shot down in the Valley, Senator Hinojosa, will, I'll yield to him in a few moments, and I are very proud of the service that we get from troopers that not only, well, were born, live, and got to join the department but all troopers that come in from all over the state for what they do to protect our citizenry. But the State of Texas is grateful to Trooper Sanchez for his selflessness in protecting the people of our great state. I ask that you keep Trooper Sanchez and his family in your thoughts and prayers. As Chief Cooper told me, he was, is very well respected and loved by all his co-workers, and he has an incredible commitment to the agency and, of course, his work ethic is exemplary. He's an incredible public servant. I invite all Members and staff and the public to join me at a regularly scheduled Rosary this Wednesday. We have one every Wednesday, but this one's at 8:00 a.m. in the civil rights room in the third floor, 3E.4, which will be dedicated for the health and recovery of Trooper Sanchez. Again, I know that this hits us all pretty hard, and I yield to my good friend, Senator Chuy Hinojosa. Thank you, Mr. President.

Senator Hinojosa:  Thank you, Mr. President. Members, I, too, rise to share some of my thoughts and comments on this tragic accident, an incident that happened Saturday night right before midnight. And it happened right, pretty close on the street next to my state office. Trooper Sanchez was responding to a routine traffic accident, and one of the people involved in the accident ran away and left the accident. Trooper Sanchez followed that person, and the person ambushed Trooper Sanchez with a .357 Magnum, shot him in the shoulder and in the head. A very unfortunate situation on a routine call, responding to an accident, and Trooper Sanchez was taken to emergency. He had surgery that same night and he is in critical condition and still the mortality rate for this type of situation, this type of incident is 90 percent. And, and it's very difficult for a simple reason that when a law enforcement officer responds to a routine accident or a routine traffic stop, there's nothing routine about it. You never know, and it's very sad because when they stop somebody they don't know if they're encountering individuals with a gun or a criminal or a violent person. And Trooper Sanchez was well known in the community. Not only was he out there patrolling late at night, taking care of our families and our communities, but also he was very much involved with the Boys & Girls Club. So, think about this, our law enforcement people also have families who are at home and don't know if their loved one will return that night. We simply take it for granted that our law enforcement officers don't face any dangers but once in a while. But that is not the case. Our troopers and our law enforcement people face danger every single day, every time they respond to a call, every time they stop, make a traffic stop, and in this situation it is, it just pains me that I know this gentleman, I know who he is and his work in the community, to see him suffer this type of injury. The person committed the, allegedly committed the crime, but he committed the crime, is in custody, a 24-year-old young person who's at a party, probably all drugged up, and again it just shows the danger and the commitment that our law enforcement has that they, they will even pay with their lives to protect our families. So, Mr. President, Members, I would ask that our thoughts and prayers are with the trooper, Moises Sanchez, and his family as they stand guard, who, trooper now is in the hands of God, and hopefully he will recover.

Senator Campbell:  Thank you, Mr. President and Members. Today, I rise in memory of Jacob Alexander Graves, who passed away almost a year ago on April the 12th. He graduated from San Marcos Baptist Academy in 2003, and then he served in the United States Army with the 1st Cavalry Division as an infantryman and cannon crew member in Iraq. For his service, he received numerous awards including the Army Commendation Medal and the National Defense Service Medal. His service didn't stop there. Upon returning from the Army, he became a deputy sheriff in Hays County. He was known as a man of courage, strength, selflessness, and kindness. He lived each day to the fullest and will never be forgotten. In the gallery, we are joined by Jake's loved ones who remember him and his wonderful spirit every day. I would like his family and friends to stand, to be introduced. Go ahead and stand up to be recognized. Jake is survived by his wife, Jessica; his parents, Mark and Kim; his sister, Krystal Graves and her children, Hadlie and Cole; his grandmother, Jerri; his sister-in-law, Hannah; and friends, Joshua, Debra, John, and Joe; and so many others that he worked, served, and lived with, who were touched by his generous spirit. Members, will you please help me thank Jake's loved ones who are here today and those watching back in Hays County for his service to our country and our state. And, Mr. President, I also ask that we observe a moment of silence or we close today's session in honor of his memory and have these remarks reduced to our Journal.

(Senator Fallon in Chair)

REASON FOR VOTE

Senator Zaffirini submitted the following reason for vote on SB 23:

As a pro-life Democrat who believes in the sanctity of all life, I always have believed deeply that we must protect not only the rights of unborn children, but also programs that meet their needs throughout their life.
Unfortunately, many divide us all into two categories–as being either pro-life or pro-choice. The reality is, however, that there are countless pro-lifers like me who also support Planned Parenthood; family planning; sex education; access to health care; and, because abortion is the law of the land, access to safe and legal abortions. The reality also is that there are pro-choicers who, like me, support reasonable regulations that protect the interests of unborn children and who also support issues associated closely with pro-life, such as parental consent and parental notification. The lines are not as clear-cut as some think–or wish.
The picture painted by SB 23 is horrific. The idea that a doctor would, in the aftermath of a failed abortion, witness a newborn child struggle for life and do nothing to assist is incomprehensible and abhorrent. My most serious concern about SB 23 is that its criminal penalties may cause some doctors to restrict a woman's legal right to a safe and legal abortion. Once a baby is born alive, however, he or she is born alive. Not taking care of the infant certainly would violate the doctor's standard of care. Accordingly, I believe the doctor likely could be charged with murder even without the bill.
Although declining to provide all life-saving measures possible to a child who was born alive already is against the law, a child born in such extenuating circumstances is vulnerable and warrants additional protections and penalties that will deter physicians from acting in a manner contrary to the law. What's more, requiring persons who witness such illegal acts to make a report will ensure any physician who acts against the interests of a child born alive after a failed abortion answers for that crime.
For these reasons, I voted for SB 23.
