Voters can prevent Abortion Control Act's cancellation

A pro-lifer says a constitutional amendment for abortion has a long way to go before getting on a ballot in her state.

Pro-abortion liberals in The Keystone State are actively promoting HB 803, a resolution "providing for personal reproductive liberty." But as Maria Gallagher of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation tells AFN, the proposal is mislabeled; it is a push for abortion without limits, and abortion can only be performed after so-called "reproductive liberty" has taken place.

"This would basically cancel out our longstanding Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act," she asserts. "That would mean no more parental consent for abortion, no more informed consent for abortion, no more 24-hour waiting period for abortion."

Additionally, late-term abortions would be permitted, often using the dilation and evacuation (D&E) method of dismembering and removing the baby, who can likely feel the pain, limb-by-limb.

But Gallagher explains there are lengthy steps remaining to get the proposal on a future ballot.

"The pro-abortion Democrats must be able to pass the legislation in both the House and the Senate in Pennsylvania in two consecutive sessions before it can go on the ballot for voters to decide," she details.

So the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation is urging state residents to contact and urge members of the House to oppose the measure and bring consideration of it to a halt.
