Whereas, current proposed legislation (SB-189) would force large employer insurance plans to provide coverage for the total cost of an abortion and require individual/small group plans to provide abortion coverage if the federal Dept. of Health and Human Services approves it;
Whereas, current proposed legislation (SB-189) would expand the state-run “reproductive health-care program” to allow minors under the age of 19 years to apply for and enroll themselves in the state-funded “family planning services” and “family planning related services” program, which includes access to contraception and abortion referrals without parental consent;
Whereas, current proposed legislation (SB-188) would impose restrictions against the ability of medical providers to terminate contracts of employees who violate lawful Ethical Religious Directives by performing "abortion-related services" (abortion, tubal ligations, etc.).

Thank you for signing our petition to stop radical abortion expansion in our state. We’ll deliver all signed petitions to our state legislators to make your voice heard on this life-and-death issue.
