 Louisiana Legislature Moves to End Abortion - Read about HB645, which, while not perfect, is a 100% abortion ban - on our "Personhood USA Update". HB 645 is going to be heard early next week! As Representative John Labruzzo, the bill's sponsor, stated, “Every year, more and more abortions take place, and every year we pass legislation to deal with the issue.  We've been going at it piecemeal--trying to get two yards at a time--but we haven't gotten one first down. This bill shoots for the end zone." Amen to that! 

 

 Attorney and pro-life speaker, Rebecca Kiessling, was invited to represent Personhood USA and share her story at the hearing.  Adopted as an infant, Rebecca learned at age 18 that her conception was the result of rape and that she was nearly aborted. Watch this POWERFUL VIDEO of Rebecca's testimony - (Click HERE to watch the video) - put up by the pro-aborts! Please "Like" the video and post an encouraging comment to Rebecca.

The Human Life Protection Act now heads to the full House.  Floor debate is scheduled for this Monday, June 6th.

The Alabama Senate Bill, SB301, passed the Senate 23-7. Last minute changes to the bill changed it from a personhood bill, which would have banned all abortions, to a ban of all surgical abortions and many chemical abortions. If the bill passes the House, it will be the first time in state history that all surgical abortions will be outlawed since Roe v. Wade.

The original text, introduced by Senator Phil Williams, read : “The term ‘persons’ as used in the Code of Alabama 1975, shall include any human being from the moment of fertilization or the functional equivalent thereof.”

The amended text now reads “The term ‘persons’ as used in the Code of Alabama 1975, shall include any human being from the moment of fertilization and implantation into the womb.” SB301 is now scheduled to be heard Thursday, June 9th.
