Aurora began her pro-life work after being rescued from an abortion by the father of her baby the year Roe v. Wade was passed in 1973.  Their daughter was born the following year, in January 1974.  Three years later, Aurora and her husband, Xavier, used their own experience with abortion to talk a young engineering student at SMU out of aborting her baby.  That young woman married the father of her baby and together they had 8 more children. That experience showed them the importance of working to save the lives of the unborn and they started going to sidewalk counsel at the abortion centers in Dallas.

They joined the lifesaving efforts of Operation Rescue and then joined the second Saturday rosaries with Bishop Charles Grahmann. In 2003, she began working full-time pro-life with the Catholic Pro-Life Community, and retired three months after Roe vs. Wade was reversed. She continues to volunteer with the Catholic Pro-Life Committee providing education on the issues of defending life, faith, and family in parishes. Having spoken in dioceses nationally and internationally, in 2008, she founded the Pro-Life and Evangelization Congresses that are still actively held in different dioceses throughout the country and are now sponsored by the United States Conference Catholics of Bishops.

In 2005, with her husband Xavier,  they received the “Edward J. Robinson Pro-Life Person of the Year Award” from the Catholic Pro-Life Community.

After her retirement in 2023, she was awarded the "People of Life Award" from the Pro-Life Secretariat of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in Toledo, Ohio.

She has also hosted a radio program about life, family and faith, “Celebrando la Vida” on Radio Guadalupe La Red Network for the past 15 years.

Aurora is a mother of 5 daughters and grandmother of 24 grandchildren and a member of Immaculate Conception Church in Grand Prairie, TX.
