Help Us Safeguard Taxpayer Dollars from Abortion By Maria Gallagher, Legislative Director gallagher@paprolife.org
A state representative is planning to introduce a bill that would threaten your tax dollars. Representative Steven Santarsiero (D-Bucks County) is circulating a co-sponsorship memo for a bill that would repeal Act 13 of 2013.
If you will recall, Act 13 is the common sense law that ensures that no taxpayer funding of abortion will occur in the health insurance exchange created in Pennsylvania under Obamacare. We must safeguard this important law!
Please call and email your state representative with this urgent message: "Please do not co-sponsor Rep. Santarsiero's bill to repeal Act 13 of 2013. I don't want my tax dollars to pay for abortion." (The bill does not have a number yet.)
If you don't know who your state representative is, or you need contact information, please go to http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/findyourlegislator/#address.
To view the co-sponsorship memo for this dangerous bill, go to http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/Legis/CSM/showMemoPublic.cfm?chamber=H&SPick=20150&cosponId=20267.
Thank you for making these critical calls and sending these important emails!

A new paper from the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Pediatrics finds that among premature babies born at 22 to 23 weeks LMP (20-21 weeks post-fertilization) who are given "active" care, 61 to 71 percent survive.

However, that is exactly what euthanasia advocates are seeking to do by now referring to euthanasia as "dignicide" according to this National Review article. | Registration for the Pro-Life Event of the Year is Now Open

House Bill 1799, sponsored by state Representative Marcia Hahn (R-Northampton County), now goes on to the Pennsylvania Senate for review. As Rep. Hahn stated in her co-sponsorship memo, "I believe murder of an unborn child is murder, regardless of the formalism of where this might be set forth in Title 18 (of the PA code)." To read the bill, click here. | Independence Day Bulletin Inserts Now Available
