From Mike McMonagle, President
Pro-Life Coalition of Pennsylvania
On February 4, 2014, Rep. Bryan
Cutler and the other leaders of the Pa. House Pro-Life Caucus (i.e., Rep. Jerry
Stern, Rep. Bryan Barbin and Rep. Deberah Kula) introduced this legislation
with 20 co-sponsors, which was assigned to the Pa. House Judiciary Committee.
This legislation requires
abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the
facility where they are committing abortions. (Use this link to view H. B. 1762)
The
Good This Legislation Can Achieve
The implementation of this
legislation can save women and children from abortion and close additional
abortion facilities in Pa.
The implementation of this
requirement in other states has resulted in the closure of abortion facilities
because physicians committing abortions sometimes experience difficulty in
obtaining admitting privileges.
What
Can You Do To Pass H.B. 1762
1. If
your State House member is pro-life, please write to him or her with a request
to co-sponsor H.B. 1762. (The link above of H.B. 1762 lists these
co-sponsors.)
2. Please
write Rep. Ron Marsico, the Chairman of the Pa. House Judiciary Committee, and
ask him to run H.B. 1762, as soon as reasonably possible.
Rep. Marsico's contact information is: PO Box 202105, Harrisburg, PA
17120-2105; 717-783-2014; rmarsico@pahousegop.com
Given the records of the members of this Committee, H.B. 1762 would likely
easily pass if run in this Committee.
3. Please
write Rep. Mike Turzai, the Pa. House Majority Leader, and ask him to run H.B.
1762, as soon as reasonably possible.
Rep. Turzai's contact information is: PO Box 202028, Harrisburg, PA 17120-2028;
717-772-9943; mturzai@pahousegop.com
Given the records of the Pa. House members, H.B. 1762 would likely easily pass
if run in the full House.
At a recent meeting with other Pa.
pro-life leaders and me, Pa. Senator Stewart Greenleaf, the Chairman of the Pa.
Senate Judiciary Committee, indicated that he is open to running H.B. 1762 in this
Committee, which has a pro-life majority.
Please act promptly to assist the
passing of H.B. 1762.
