Members & Friends,
The "Near Total Abortion Ban" bill is moving quickly in both chambers. SB 300 will be heard in its last Senate Committee on Tuesday, March 28 at 8:30 am in the Fiscal Policy Committee. Remember that this bill does the following:
Bans abortion after 6 weeks before many women even know they are pregnant;
Has exceptions for rape and incest, but only before 15 weeks and only if these survivors of violence can present “proof” like a restraining order, police report, medical record or other court order or documentation;
Funds an additional $25 million per year to fund anti-abortion fake clinics, where untrained volunteers or staff regularly give medically inaccurate and potentially dangerous pregnancy information and where they are not bound by state and federal privacy laws that prevent sharing that information with others;
Mandates that only a physician may perform or induce a termination of pregnancy or dispense abortion-inducing drugs;
Prohibits telehealth abortions;
Mandates that abortion medications MUST be dispensed by physicians in person and cannot be dispensed through the US Postal Service or other shipping service;
Prohibits funding of out-of-state travel for abortions to government institutions.
