Elizabeth Graham was born in Kansas City, Missouri. She graduated from Rockhurst College there with a degree in philosophy and sociology. In 1994, Elizabeth moved to Houston, TX to pursue graduate studies in philosophy at the Center for Thomistic Studies at the University of St. Thomas. While in graduate school, she volunteered for Texas Right to Life and developed a sense of urgency about the mission to protect innocent human life. She married Jim Graham in 1997 and temporarily returned to her background of retail management before accepting full time employment with Texas Right to Life in 1998. With her husband Jim, they have grown Texas Right to Life into the largest prolife organization in Texas with a staff of 25 and a membership of over 300,000 Texas households. Through Texas Right to Life’s Family Assistance Program, Elizabeth has advocated for and worked with hundreds of families whose ailing loved ones faced the withdrawal of medical treatment and the futility process at hospitals across Texas. She has also served women and families facing unplanned pregnancies. Texas Right to Life is the oldest, largest, and only statewide organization focusing on the defense and protection of innocent human life. We seek due process of law and equal protection of the law for all human beings from the moment of fertilization (including those whose lives have been manufactured via science in laboratories) until natural death and without regard to their age or physical and mental competence. Texas Right to Life’s purpose is the furtherance and implementation of our view of human life through legal, peaceful, and prayerful means.
