ACTION ALERT
Urge Florida
Senate and House Members to Pass HB 1143
Containing Vital Pro-life Provisions
Background: Earlier
today, the Florida Senate amended HB 1143 to add critically
important pro-life provisions. The bill is poised to be voted on by
the Senate.
Senator Andy Gardiner led the effort to require that all women
contemplating an abortion view an ultrasound of their unborn child unless
they sign a form to opt out or meet certain exemptions. This gives the
woman the ability to make an informed choice regarding her future and the
future of her child.
Senator Mike Haridopolos sponsored an amendment that
prohibits health insurance policies purchased with state or federal funds
in the State Insurance Exchange established by federal health reform
from providing coverage for abortion. A majority of
Americans believe that public funds should not be used to pay for
abortions.
After passage by the Senate, HB 1143 will return
to the House, which must vote on the amended bill before the Session
concludes this Friday, April 30.
ACTION: Please urge
your senator and representative to vote ‘yes’ on HB 1143 without additional
amendments.
Send an email message immediately as time to consider this bill
is limited. Action is needed now.
