Senate Bill 9 and House Bill 215 may be heard and killed in the Kentucky House Health and Welfare Committee on Thursday.
Please pray that legislators will allow these bills to come to the floor of the House to receive a fair hearing and vote. And, if you haven’t done so already, please contact your legislator and the members of the committee to urge approval of the bills.
Senate Bill 9 would require that a woman who is seeking an abortion be given the opportunity to see an ultrasound image of her baby before she makes a final decision. House Bill 215 would prohibit abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy.
House and Welfare Committee Chairman Tom Burch, D-Louisville, has promised to kill both bills as he has done for the past two years. Pro-abortion leadership in the House are afraid to allow either bill to receive a fair hearing in front of lawmakers because they know both bills would be approved.
Call 1-800-372-7181 and leave a message for your legislator and other House leaders asking that these bills be sent to the full House for a vote. You don’t have to know the name of your legislator. The operator will help you get the message to the right individual.
