AFA of PA ACTION ALERT
December 12, 2017
Issue
Important Life Vote in Harrisburg
Details
House Speaker Mike Turzai has promised to bring SB 3 up for a vote between December 11 and 13. SB 3 would ban abortions after an unborn baby is capable of feeling pain – 20 weeks (five months) and would ban dismemberment abortions. On February 8, 2017 it passed in the Senate by a 32-18 vote. Governor Wolf (former Planned Parenthood escort) has promised to veto the bill if it reaches his desk. The Senate vote was two votes short of a veto override majority of 34, but some Senators could possibly be swayed if it came down to an override vote. The concentration now is on the State House and the upcoming vote.
The passage of SB 3 in the House with a veto override majority of 136 votes would encourage House leaders to take a veto override vote in the State House, when Governor Wolf vetoes SB 3. This would, in turn, encourage the State Senate to do the same.
Action Steps
1.) Pray that the House will move forward with this vote even if pro-abortion activists show up and demand its defeat.
2.) Contact your State Representative and ask him or her to support SB 3 and oppose all attempts to amend the bill.
