The Democrat leadership in the Massachusetts House of Representatives announced that it... is abiding by the wishes of the abortion industry and is going full steam ahead with this radical bill. As you know, the bill permits passive infanticide, allows 16 and 17 year old girls to get abortions without the consent of a parent or any judicial oversight, and eliminates the requirement that abortions be performed by a physician only.
Two state representatives, Alyson Sullivan (Abington) and Marc Lombardo (Billerica) have filed an amendment to the bill in an effort to stop the infanticide. The Amendment is entitled, "Guaranteeing Medical Care to Babies Born Alive." It states as follows: "If an abortion is performed pursuant to section 12N, the facility where the abortion is performed shall maintain life-supporting equipment, as defined by the department of public health, the physician performing the abortion must use life saving measures to preserve the life and health of a live birth and the patient."
The vote on the bill, H 5179, and the proposed amendments to the bill, are expected to be taken today. This is urgent! Please call your state representative this morning and urge him or her to vote in favor of the Sullivan - Lombardo amendment to H 5179!
