Your legislators need to hear from you!
The Heal Without Harm (HWH) Legislative Initiative -
SB 423
/
AB 549
and
SB 424
/
AB 550
(Sen. Terry Moulton, R-Chippewa Falls and Rep. Joel Kleefisch, R-Oconomowoc) - would ban the sale and use of aborted fetal body parts and instead encourage the donation of tissue from children who are stillborn or miscarried for use in research.
Currently, SB 423 and SB 424 have received public hearings, but
Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committee Chair
Van Wanggaard has indicated he will not advance the bills out of committee
unless Senators make their support for these bills known
. AB 550
has received a public hearing
and will be voted out of committee thanks to the quick action of Assembly Health Committee Chair Joe Sanfelipppo. AB 549 has been separated from AB 550 and was sent to the
Assembly Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee chaired by Representative John Spiros and has yet to receive a public hearing
.
Please call your State Senator ASAP and urge him/her to do the following:
- Support SB 423 and SB 424 and make that support known by contacting Sen. Van Wanggaard.
- Ask Sen. Waggaard to hold an executive session on SB 423 and SB 424 and vote to advance these bills out of committee ASAP.
Please call your State Representative ASAP and urge him/her to do the following:
- Ask Rep. John Spiros to hold a public hearing and executive session on AB 549 ASAP.
