Take Action - Show Respect for Life: Pass the Unborn Child Dignity Act

The Unborn Child Dignity Act, House Bill 118, would show respect to human life by providing for the proper disposition of a baby that is miscarried or aborted in any health care facility. The lead sponsor of House Bill 118 -- Rep. Frank Ryan (R-Lebanon) -- introduced this bill because of the loss of his own unborn child. All unborn children should be given the respect and dignity of proper care (even in death), rather than discarded with bodily fluids, organs, tissue, and other medical waste.

The Unborn Child Dignity Act is the same legislation where former State Representative Wendy Ullman (D-Bucks) said during committee debate that an early miscarriage is just "some mess on a napkin." A miscarriage, no matter how early, does not result in a "mess on a napkin" but the loss of a child.

Healthcare facilities should uphold the dignity and humanity of unborn children by properly handling the disposition (whether burial or cremation), of unborn children who have died from an abortion or miscarriage, according to the parents' wishes. And the U.S. Supreme Court have ruled similar state legislation constitutional in a recent case involving the state of Indiana.

Show Respect for Life: Pass the Unborn Child Dignity Act

Ask your State Senator to uphold the dignity and humanity of unborn children, even at an early stage.

Subject: Respect Life - Yes on the Unborn Child Dignity Act, HB 118

Message:

Each human life - created in the image of God - deserves respect. When there is loss of innocent human life in the earliest stages, we need to respect this life while also honoring the family's wishes at a painful time. That's why I urge you to support House Bill 118, the Unborn Child Dignity Act.

The legislation provides for the respectful interment of the remains of a child who dies prior to birth. Similar legislation in Indiana was declared constitutional by the United States Supreme Court.

Please vote YES on HB 118.
