ACTION ALERT: Bill Requiring Mandatory Insurance for Abortion Advances in the Legislature.

by John Geis | February 24, 2012 

The Washington State Legislature (WSL) is moving a bill that forces all individuals to purchase and all businesses sell abortion insurance coverage on a maternity plan. This is clearly an attempt to impose a state abortion mandate at the hands and under the direct bidding of Planned Parenthood and NARAL.

The Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2330 passed from the House floor with 52 yes votes and 46 no votes, where three democrats voted against it. It then passed through several Senate hurdles to end up in the Ways and Means committee for a public hearing yesterday, where our testimony was excellent. The bill awaits an Executive Session in that committee on Monday, Feb 27th at 1:30pm or 3:30pm.  MORE
