Gestational Contracts

Strengthening Families, Protecting Life and Promoting Health > Protecting Innocent Human Life > Gestational Contracts
We believe rental of a woman's womb makes child bearing a mere commodity to the highest bidder and petition the Legislature to rescind House Bill 724 of the 78th Legislature. We support the adoption of human embryos and the banning of human embryo trafficking.
(plank deleted)

78th legislature's HB 724 has nothing to do with womb rental.

The rest of the plank is addressed elsewhere.

Preserving American Freedom > Limiting the Expanse of Government Power > Livestock and Pet Locations
We oppose mandatory participation in the National Animal Identification System until it no longer burdens smaller livestock operations.We oppose a mandatory national animal identification system requiring registration of all animals, of animal owners and their properties, including GPS coordinates. We urge repeal of HB 1361.
Reason:

There is no credible movement to mandate tagging of non-commerical animals like pets.

HB 1361 refers to the 79th Legislature's HB 1361 by Texas Representative Rick Hardcastle (R-Vernon). This allows the state to enact the US Department of Agriculture's National Animal Identification System. Some have criticized this program for unfairly burdening smaller agriculture operations. Until the disproportionate costs are worked out, the program should not be mandatory.

GPS is a red herring. For the purposes of this program, GPS coordinates only refer to the location of animal husbandry operations, not tracking of people or animal. It is merely an alternate representation of address or property records already in the public domain.
