(Please note that this email is NOT being sent to Senator Santarsiero (31), whose district encompasses Lower Makefield, part of Upper Makefield, Yardley Boro, and Newtown (both boro & township) - roughly the same area that comprises the parishes of Saint Andrew, Saint Ignatius of Antioch, Saint John the Evangelist, and Saint Martin of Tours.)
As per the below forwarded email below from the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation,
- "A media misinformation campaign by opponents of the Women's Right to Know Act is misleading Pennsylvanians....House Bill 1077 would guarantee that pregnant women have an opportunity to view an ultrasound and to observe the unborn baby's heartbeat before an abortion is performed. The Women's Right to Know Act is good health care, plain and simple. Can you name a medical procedure where the results of a diagnostic tool would be hidden from you?....The consumer protection movement has strengthened Americans' resolve to be informed buyers of health care services. Certainly, abortion facilities should be held accountable--just as doctors' offices are--and should be required to provide all relevant information to a patient--including an ultrasound showing what's really going on with a woman's pregnancy....Please...vote for HB 1077 and... oppose any weakening amendments to it."
As per the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference,
- "In 2012, ultrasounds are a common sense and even expected part of many medical evaluations and procedures. Without this bill, a double standard will remain whereby women in this time of need are not given complete information....The Women’s Right to Know Act addresses this disparity."
Representative Petri - Thank you for supporting HB 1077 in the House Health Committee.
Representative Farry - What on earth were you thinking!
