Action Alert: Ultrasound Bill S1349 Comes Under Fire Dear Pro-Life Friends: Please read the article from the Spokesman Review. Then call or email your legislators to SUPPORT The Ultrasound Bill, S1349. This protective legislation will require that a pregnant woman have an ultrasound prior to having an abortion. She must also be informed as to where she can obtain an ultrasound at no charge. Most abortions clinics now charge about $200 for the ultrasound which is included in the cost of the abortion. This Ultrasound legislation protects the mother’s right to see her unborn child in real-time ultrasound. Because the decision to have an abortion is such a major one, having potential ramifications not only on the life of the unborn child, but also on the physical and psychological health of the mother, it is only right and proper that the state guarantee the mother access to information relevant to her decision. It provides the opportunity for her to learn all important facts before making this life-changing decision. Information empowers women to make informed choices. The Ultrasound Bill will help make available to the mother scientifically accurate information that will enable her to make a truly informed decision. It is extremely important that you call or email your Idaho senator and 2 representatives NOW to support this legislation. A full hearing and vote on the Ultrasound Bill will be held on Wednesday, March 14, at 8:00 am in the Senate State Affairs Committee. Idaho State Legislator Contact Information:
We appreciate your continued prayers!
Update on March for Life and New Ultrasound Legislation Dear Pro-Life Friends: The 2012 March for Life was an inspiring event. In Boise, we were joined by approximately 1200 prolife persons who braved the cold and rain to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Hundreds also marched in Coeur d’Alene and Moscow to mourn the 1973 Roe v Wade decision which has resulted in the deaths of over 50 million unborn children in the United States alone. In Boise, Sen. Chuck Winder and Rep. Brent Crane, sponsors of the Fetal Pain Capable Statute passed into law last year, blessed the crowd with their prolife words, courage and leadership. Brandi Swindell, founder of Stanton Healthcare, a life-affirming medical clinic specializing in unexpected pregnancy care, gave the crowd an enthusiastic update about Stanton Healthcare’s move right next to Planned Parenthood of Idaho on State St in Boise. It was also announced that Right to Life of Idaho will be attempting to strengthen Idaho’s 2007 Ultrasound Statute making it more protective for Idaho’s unborn children and their mothers. We ask your prayers for the success of this legislation. We will keep you updated as this legislation progresses through the legislature. Please visit our website, here, or connect with us on Facebook. Many blessings to all of you!
