Tell Majority Leader Turzai & the Pa House to pass SB 3!

More than 13 months ago, Pennsylania SB 3 passed the Senate. Rather than putting SB 3 up for a vote in the Senate, a separate House version was introduced. More than 7 months ago, Pennsylvania HB 1977 passed the House. Subsequently, both bills have simply languished....

As per the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference (6/29/12):

• "Now that it is known that the Affordable Care Act will stand, Pennsylvania must take action to prevent abortion coverage in the insurance exchanges. Senate Bill 3...would prohibit insurance providers that participate in the insurance exchanges created by the federal health care reform law from covering elective abortion services."

As per the Pennsylvania Family Institute (6/29/12):

• "Senate Bill 3 would prohibit abortion coverage (with certain necessary Medicaid exceptions) from being offered in Pennsylvania’s 'health insurance exchanges.' Without SB3, everyone who purchases insurance through a Pennsylvania exchange will be paying an additional premium for abortion coverage."

As per the Pennsylvania Pro Life Federation (7/16/12):

• "We need to let the offices of House members know that we expect representatives to pass Senate Bill 3 when they return to session on September 24....In addition, we urge you to call House Majority Leader Mike Turzai's office at 717-772-9943 and urge him to bring Senate Bill 3 to a vote."
