 Video: PA State Rep. Wendy Ullman claims a miscarriage is "just a mess on a napkin." In one of the most insensitive comments ever uttered by a Pennsylvania State legislator, Representative Wendy Ullman (D-Bucks) complained about a bill dealing with a healthcare facility’s handling of miscarried or aborted babies, calling it a fuss over what she called “a mess on a napkin.” Ullman’s callous comments came during a House Health Committee meeting on House Bill 1890, which would require healthcare facilities to either bury or cremate unborn children who have died from an abortion or miscarriage. This bill is similar to one passed in the state of Indiana that was recently upheld as constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. “A miscarriage, no matter how early, does not result in a ‘mess on a napkin’ but the loss of a child,” commented Tom Shaheen, Vice President for Policy for Pennsylvania Family Institute. “Each human life deserves respect, even when lost at an early stage in development.” Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/9WBMbLF-ChY The video has garnered national attention, including the Daily Wire, the Washington Times, the Daily Caller, Townhall.com, Redstate, Lifenews and others. Pennsylvania Family Institute thanks lead sponsor Frank Ryan (R-Lebanon) and all of the Republican members of the House Health committee who voted to pass this bill to the House floor. All of the Democrats in the committee voted against it. We ask the full House to pass HB 1890. Please contact your state representative and ask them to vote Yes on HB 1890, to uphold the dignity and humanity of unborn children. Visit our action alert at pafamily.org/showrespect. |
