We have a chance to pass this pro-life bill THIS SESSION. But, your help is needed.
from Ted Meehan
Currently, the Judiciary Chair has indicated that he intends to run this
bill in his committee in "late May or early June". Every rep I have spoken to
about it has no opposition to it, and says that they are inclined to support it,
and will co-sponsor once they review it.
I believe that if we get over 100 co-sponsors, we can push for the bill to
be voted upon sooner. On April 29, Planned Parenthood is bringing busloads of
pro-aborts to Harrisburg to lobby against this bill, and for more Family
Planning (subsidized contraceptives) money. Elected officials get nervous when
things like that happen, and so I believe our best chance of quick passage is to
get more than 100 co-sponsors - ASAP.
Estimates are that between 130 and 160 of
our elected reps identify themselves as "pro-life". But its easy to say that,
and meaningless from a legislative perspective. When there is a vote, that's when
reps establish their credentials. We NEED a vote. And, we must lean on every
"pro-life" rep to co-sponsor.
There are already 26 co-sponsors, and several more have indicated their
intention of adding their names onto the bill. To get to the target number of
100+, we need every section of the state to prevail upon their local reps to
co-sponsor HB 1762 - NOW. Use this link to view H.B. 1762 and this link to read previous article on this bill.
Whatever it takes, lets get this done ASAP, and then begin pushing to get this bill before the full house.
