The New York Senate (S5808) and then Assembly (A11484) will be considering the Reproductive Health Act known as RHA.
Dangerous Abortion Bill
For a distilled interpretation click here. The pro-abortion agenda generally attempts to do one of two things; deregulate abortion or regulate the pregnancy center industry. The RHA attempts to do the former and it is unparalleled in its heinousness. A brazen deregulation eliminating conscience clauses forcing hospitals to provide them, making it legal for medical professionals who are NOT physicians to provide abortions, potentially legalizing all forms of abortion at any stage of pregnancy, making abortion a fundamental right, removing unborn children from the definition of homicide, permit females of any age access to any contraception including the dangerous RU 486. Basically, the bill attempts to scour through all New York legislation with a legal scalpel and surgically remove all abortion regulatory language thereby making New York the nation’s most deregulated abortion state, making it an abortion hub.
All human life is valuable (Societal Costs of Abortion). All attempts to destroy it at any phase of existence is evil. The role of government is to reward those that do good and punish those who do evil. The RHA does the exact opposite and in fact gives hearty approval not only of the act of abortion but of those who perform them. If the pregnancy center industry does not regulate itself it will be regulated by the abortion industry. The movement is vulnerable. This abortion bill is highly unethical. More reason to adopt a linear service model.
