Pro-Life Bills Supported by Advance America Go To The House!
Two pro-life bills are moving through the General Assembly! Advance America continues to support pro-life legislation in the General Assembly to help protect unborn children and make sure women seeking an abortion are provided with accurate information.
Senate Bill 489 is authored by Senator Mike Young. SB 489 would strengthen Indiana’s current informed consent for abortion law. SB 489 would, among other things require that a woman certify in writing that she does not want to see an ultrasound of her unborn baby and hear the baby’s heartbeat before having the abortion. Hopefully a woman who is thinking about an abortion will choose to not have the abortion when she learns that she can see an ultrasound of her baby and hear her baby’s heartbeat! The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 40-10. The House sponsor is Representative Martin Carbaugh.
Senate Bill 371 is authored by Senator Travis Holdman. Senate Bill 371 would require facilities that perform chemical abortions (RU 486 abortions) to meet the same standards as an abortion clinic that provides surgical abortions. This includes following the informed consent for abortion laws which require an 18 hour waiting period. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 33-16. The House sponsor is Representative Sharon Negele.
Immediate Action Required!
Please call or email your State Representative immediately and ask them to “Vote Yes on two pro-life bills – Senate Bill 489 dealing with informed consent for abortion and Senate Bill 371 dealing with chemical abortions.”
