The so-called “Women’s Health Protection Act” seeks to make unlimited abortion up to birth the law of the land. If passed, it would overturn every pro-life protection passed in every state. In addition, it would even force every state to remove all commonsense measures — like waiting periods, ultrasounds, informed consent, and parental consent laws. It would even stop states from setting reasonable health and safety standards intended to force abortion centers to maintain the same cleanliness and safety as any other surgical clinics. Worst of all, the bill would legalize the barbaric late-term abortions that murder a baby just before it is naturally born.

Unpacking the absurd lies in this bill ...

In addition to the obscenities mentioned above, HR 12 and its Senate companion bill, S 701, are outrageous.

Section 2.8 asserts that abortion creates “better maternal bonding.” How, I wonder, does a woman “better bond” with a dead child?

Section 2.11 claims that state abortion bans prevent women from receiving “potentially lifesaving treatment for ectopic pregnancies and miscarriage management.” But that is a bald-faced lie! Treatment for ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages is NOT the same procedure as an abortion, and nowhere in the U.S. have those lifesaving treatments been banned.

Section 2.17 claims that abortion bans cause a loss of “liberty, dignity, bodily autonomy, equality, due process, privacy, health, and freedom from cruel and inhumane treatment.”

But again, at least one person in the abortion scheme loses every time. And having one’s brains scrambled, spine severed, and/or arms and legs unceremoniously yanked off before the head leaves the womb seems to me to be the ultimate in “inhumane treatment.”

Section 2.20 states, “Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures in the United States.” But abortion is NEVER safe for the child. With each abortion performed, at least one person winds up dying.

Don’t let Planned Parenthood allies legalize late-term abortion!

But perhaps most eye popping of the federal abortion bill’s demonstrably false claims is found in Sections 2.12 and 2.13. In those sections, the abortion advocates claim that abortion bans are racist in nature and primarily hurt minorities.

In overturning Roe, the Supreme Court referenced Liberty Counsel’s amicus brief that detailed the racist, eugenic origins of the abortion movement, as well as the ongoing genocide of black and brown children through abortion.  

Section 2.12, in particular, claims that access to abortion “has always been deficient in the United States for Black, Indigenous, Latina/x, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and People of Color (BIPOC) and their families.” But that is a lie!

Margaret Sanger’s writings show quite clearly that she wanted to stop the proliferation of black and poor people, whom she deemed the “human weeds” of society. Further, the overwhelming majority of abortion clinics are in black and brown neighborhoods, revealing the specific demographic Planned Parenthood and its allies are targeting.

Further, the section claims that abortion is “reproductive justice” and that creating the right to kill a child will somehow make up for the “forcible removal of Indigenous children” that happened in the 19th century.

Section 2 reveals this bill’s insanity. Section 3 lowers the boom.

In Section 3, the bill states that any and all restrictions, or any and all rules, laws, and policies that might delay an abortion must be erased. That means that ultrasound laws, which have saved many children, will be eliminated. Parental rights also will be eliminated. Section 3 further insists that state and local regulations that force abortion clinics to meet the same health and safety standards as any other surgical center should be abolished. Any law that could make abortion “more difficult to access” would be gone.

The bill states that any restriction based on the age of the unborn child must be overturned. Laws like Florida’s “Heartbeat Law” and even the federal partial birth abortion ban will be overturned, and unlimited abortion on demand up until birth will be the law of this American land.

So who is really being “protected” in this bill?

Section 2.10 admits what this bill is REALLY about. It claims that abortion bans reduce patient access to health care services, including “contraceptive services,” “sexually transmitted disease testing,” and “LGBTQ” services. In other words, it refers to the services Planned Parenthood offers in addition to its primary profit center — baby killing.

HR 12 has 213 co-sponsors. Its companion bill, S 701, has 49 co-sponsors. That means the pro-abortion crowd only needs to convince ONE Republican in each chamber to vote their way to make unlimited abortion the law of the land. And to pass in the Senate, Kamala Harris wants to abolish the 60-vote filibuster rule. This would allow multiple evil laws.

Congress needs to hear from you NOW demanding they hold the line against Planned Parenthood and its baby-killing schemes.

Tell Congress to VOTE NO on HR 12 and S 701 and DO NOT abolish the filibuster rule!
