Thanks be to God, on June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. This decision set into place a trigger law, that went into effect August 25, 2022, making abortion illegal in Texas. While there is now legal protection in our state, unfortunately, women are continuing to find themselves in crisis pregnancies. Houston Coalition for Life is committed to saving them and their unborn babies from the horror of abortion.
Currently only three of seven abortion clinics have closed in Houston. The others – including Planned Parenthood -- remain open referring women out of state for their abortion and in many cases providing the funds for their travel and the abortion, as well as offer follow up abortion “care”. Planned Parenthood and other abortion facilities continue to devalue the dignity of the human person by offering transgender hormone therapy and birth control for minors, further encouraging a culture of abortion.
From the beginning, Stand & Pray has been a cornerstone of our ministry. It consists of standing outside of an abortion facility and peacefully praying for the women seeking abortion, for their unborn babies, and for the conversion of abortion workers. We know prayer works because two of Houston's busiest abortion facilities closed where we had consistent ongoing prayer vigils! Thanks be to God!
Houston Coalition for Life has a weekly Prayer Vigil in front of Planned Parenthood on I45 every Wednesday morning from 9am - 10am. We welcome you to join us as we continue to pray for the end to abortion. If you plan to come out, pleaseemail a Statement of Peace to flor@houstoncoalition.com.

The most vulnerable among us are innocent, defenseless unborn human beings. These babies have no voice. Their pain, their anguish and their cries are silent. They depend on us to speak up. They depend on us to act in defense of their lives.
Even though Roe has been overturned and abortion in Texas is illegal, women continue to find themselves in crisis pregnancies and still turn to abortion facilities. The largest Planned Parenthood in the Western Hemisphere on I45 is still open referring women out of state for their abortions.
Houston Coalition for Life has partnered with 40 Days for Life since the beginning and coordinates the largest campaign in the country. More than 100 churches throughout Houston and thousands of individuals have had a profound impact on innocent, unborn babies and their moms being saved from the devastation of abortion.
God has used 40 days throughout salvation history to transform people. It is a special time to unite with people across ths country and pray for an end to the horror and injustice of abortion. If you would like to sign up for vigil hours please click here.
