Pennsylvania Catholic Conference Action Alert
Support House Bill 1948 to Ban Late-Term Dismemberment Abortion Procedure
"Safe,
Legal and Rare" is a common refrain of abortion supporters. However, a
legal late-term procedure known as "dismemberment abortion" carries
significant risk to the health of the mother and requires the baby's
limbs to be torn from his or her body. This results in an increased risk
of infection and laceration for the mother. But it is still legal in
Pennsylvania.
Obviously
the procedure is lethal to the unborn baby as well. Medical research
shows that babies feel pain and can live outside the womb at 20 weeks,
yet the dismemberment abortion is allowed in Pennsylvania until 24
weeks, or about 6 months gestation.
Would
you be surprised to find out that only 7 countries allow elective late
term abortions, and in addition to North Korea and China, the U.S. is
one of them?
Even though survey after survey shows that Americans want to limit late-term abortions, here in Pennsylvania babies can be aborted until six months gestation.

It's
time to update PA's laws to be in line with the will of most Americans
as well as medical advancements that reveal the baby's ability to feel
pain and live outside the womb. And we should continue to work to
support women and men who are faced with unplanned pregnancies, so that
they don't feel abortion is their only option.
Send a message to your elected officials today asking them to ban all dismemberment abortions in Pennsylvania as well as all abortions after 20 weeks, when the baby can feel pain and risks to the health of the mother increase significantly.
