Therefore, be it resolved that the Republican Party of _______________ County recommends the Platform and the Legislative Priorities Committees of the State Convention adopt as both a Platform Plank and Legislative Priority for the 88th Legislative.  In order to avoid costly institutional care and preserve families, we call on the Texas Legislature to invest in and fully fund home & community-based services (HCBS) as a pro-life policy, and enact associated policy solutions to protect, preserve and defend the sanctity and dignity of human life, addressing any loopholes that fail to protect or provide appropriate home and community-based supports and access to care for children and people with disabilities, in addition to providing families with information about life-affirming social and medical services available to them in Texas as alternatives to abortion and costly institutional care.
