Stop Dismemberment Abortions in PA

 

From Maria Gallagher, Legislative Director, gallagher@paprolife.org

Action Alert: Call and email your representative in the PA House of Representatives with this urgent message: "Please vote yes on House Bill 1948, which bans dismemberment abortions in Pennsylvania. These abortions are brutal for babies and harmful for mothers, and they need to be outlawed."

Please note this is state legislation rather than federal legislation so you do not need to contact your Congressman or U.S. Senators Bob Casey and Pat Toomey.

Background:

The PA House Health Committee has just approved House Bill 1948, which bans gruesome dismemberment abortions. A vote by the full House could come soon. Dismemberment abortions typically occur in the second trimester of pregnancy. They involve tearing a baby limb by limb from the mother's womb. They are also known as a D & E abortions. As U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote, "No one would dispute that, for many, D&E is a procedure itself laden with the power to devalue human life."

Thank you once again for making these life-saving and life-changing calls and sending these critical emails!
