Help us defeat Substitute HB 235!
On Tuesday, Planned Parenthood was up on the hill to testify against an unnecessary “trigger ban”. What we were left with is Substitute House Bill 235, an all out Abortion Ban for which Utah’s taxpayers will have to pay 1-4 million dollars.
We believe that Roe should be protected from unnecessary lawsuits and we firmly believe that women of Utah should not be banned from safe abortion procedures.
Today, we call on you to email your lawmakers (to find your Representative go to www.le.state.ut.us).
With your help, we will be able to raise awareness and defeat this ban!

Subject: Vote Against HB 235!
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
1st Substitute HB 235: Abortion Ban Revisions is on the House Calendar for debate. I urge you to vote against this bill when it comes up for a vote. This bill would cost the taxpayers millions of dollars and is a clear case of misplaced priorities. This legislature should focus on preventing unintended pregnancy by increasing access to family planning resources and making women's health a priority.
Sincerely,
|
