The Supreme Court’s decision to take away the reproductive rights of tens if not hundreds of millions of Americans marks the ascension of the Conservative Christian zealot movement in our country. There have been many pop-up forced-birther groups around the country over the years. One of those groups was Texas Right to Life. Its former political director is a man named Luke Bowen, but you might not realize that because Texas Right to Life has spent the last couple of weeks quietly getting rid of Bowen’s digital footprint in their organization.
Texas Right to Life is what passes for a standard anti-abortion, pro-forced-birth group. They support candidates who call LGBTQ+ people and teachers “groomers,” and stick to the general conservative Christian lines. Here’s a countdown to answer why Bowen is no longer employed there: three, two, he’s been arrested and charged with soliciting sex from a minor online.
He was arrested on Aug. 3 in Conroe, Texas. According to reports, that is the same day that he became the “former” political director of Texas Right to Life. Houston-based Chron reports that Bowen’s charge is a second degree felony in the Lone Star State that carries up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
