Dear Pro-Life Leaders,
With state legislators resuming work in Harrisburg next week, I wanted to give you an update on the status of pro-life and anti-life legislation in Pennsylvania:
1.) State Senator Scott Martin is introducing a resolution which would condemn the abortion of babies who have been diagnosed with Down syndrome. We are urging people to contact their state Senators and encourage them to support the resolution. The resolution does not have a bill number yet. A news conference promoting the legislation is being held the morning of September 19th at the state Capitol.
2.) Senate Bill 3 is under consideration in the PA House Health Committee. The bill, which passed the Senate earlier this year, would ban brutal dismemberment abortions and change the abortion limit in PA from six months' to five months' gestation to reflect advances in medical technology.
3.) House Bill 111, which would take away our right to vote for appellate judges in Pennsylvania, could be voted on by the full PA House at any time. As a result, we are encouraging people to call their state representatives and tell the lawmakers they don't want their right to vote for judges to be taken away by a so-called "merit selection" system.
4.) We are also encouraging people to contact their state Senators and urge them to oppose Senate Bill 238, which would eliminate our long-standing ban on assisted suicide in Pennsylvania.
If you have any questions, you can call me at 717-541-0034. Please share this information with all appropriate lists.
All the best,
Maria V. Gallagher
Legislative Director
