Senate Committee to Hear Radical Abortion Bill!
Tomorrow (February 20), the Senate Education and Health committee will hear HB 980 (D-Herring) which fulfills Planned Parenthood’s destructive agenda that endangers women and guarantees more abortions.
Please contact your Senator on this Committee NOW and urge them to Oppose HB 980!
HB 980 (D-Herring), along with its companion bill SB 733 (D-McClellan), if passed, will do all of the following:
Allow almost anyone – not just physicians – to perform abortions, including physician's assistants, nurse practitioners and even midwives
Eliminate virtually all requirements of informed consent prior to an abortion, including providing written educational materials which describe a "full, reasonable and comprehensible medical explanation of the nature, benefits, and risks of and alternatives to the proposed procedures or protocols" and "An instruction that the woman may withdraw her consent at any time prior to the performance of the procedure"
Eliminate the requirement for an ultrasound before performing an abortion so that the mother has the opportunity to see her baby’s image and hear her baby’s heartbeat
Remove the 24 hour wait period between the ultrasound and abortion (which paves the way for abuse and coerced abortions)
Eliminate ALL health and safety regulations and oversight from the state’s abortion centers that have proven so very necessary. They will have no accountability without these.
Remove any civil penalties for an abortionist who has failed to do these things.
Don’t let this committee rollback over 40 years of pro-life achievements without hearing from you and your support for innocent unborn life!
Contact your Senator on this Committee now and urge them to stand for life!
