HB2564 update

I am happy to report that the Arizona House Health and Human Services Committee approved HB2564 by a vote of 5-0 because the, “Democrats boycotted the 1 1/2-hour committee hearing, saying they were taking a stand against legislation that would crimp the availability of abortion services and emergency contraception, particularly in rural areas with fewer health care options. ” This is great news! The bill will now be proceed to the full house of a vote! As I have written before the bill would for the following:
1. For health care professionals to not be required to participate in the performance of abortions (under the current law whether you like it or not you are required to help with the surgery.)
2. Create a 24-hour pre abortion waiting period for the women seeking the abortion to consider all of the facts.
3. Increases prenatal rights to now about if an abortion is preformed on a minor.
4. Criminalizes the performance of an abortion by anyone with out a license to practice medicine.

In response to this you need to go to the link below and find your state rep’s email address and write to them asking them to support house bill 2564. Be kind to the rep and be informed. To find good arguments I recommend visiting Abort73..com or looking at my post archive for January.

Additionally, please keep praying that the bill passes and more importantly seek to engage the issue on a personal level in two ways; share the gospel with women and find a way to be part of the national pro life movement. A great way to start getting involved is to go to abort73.com and by a T-shirt and wear it.
