The PA House is preparing to vote on legislation that would make sure that a woman seeking abortion would first be offered an ultrasound image of her unborn baby. House Bill 1077 – the Women’s Right-to-Know Act – is expected to come up for a vote in the PA House very soon.
Here’s what HB 1077 would do:
-
Require abortion clinics to perform an ultrasound at
least 24 hours before an abortion (or provide a list of other ultrasound
providers, including pregnancy care centers);
-
Require that pregnant women be informed of their right
to view the live ultrasound image of her unborn baby while the test is being
performed;
- Require that printed photos of those ultrasound images be provided to women.
A tape of the Prayer Breakfast held by People Concerned for the Unborn Child and a DVD presentation on David Beright’s 40 Days for LIfe DVD is being scheduled to air on PCTV on Comcast 21 and Verizon 47 in the city and in some ZIP code areas of Allegheny County at the times below. The programs will air online simultaneously at pctv21.org.
