Oppose Amendment (Support Motion to Table)
Senate Journal Page: 1619

Motion to Table; May 2, 2011; Journal Page 1619: 19 Yeas, 12 Nays


YCT Yea on Motion to Table.  Floor amendment 2 would have allowed an abortion provider to avoid the require? ments of HB 15 (the Sonogram Bill) if they had a “good faith” belief that there was a medical emergency.  Such loopholes have been abused by abortion providers in other contexts.  YCT opposes measures that provide ave? nues for abortion providers to avoid complying with the law.
