Whether you caught Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert talking about it or saw it on the front page of yesterday’s New York Times, you’ve probably seen coverage about the mandatory ultrasound bill in Virginia.

 

What you probably didn’t know is that Pennsylvania is poised to pass a bill EVEN MORE DEMEANING than Virginia’s.

 

The Pennsylvania mandatory ultrasound bill (House Bill 1077), makes it clear that the PA House of Representatives doesn’t think that women are smart or informed enough to understand their own bodies, lives and decisions.

 

The bill requires:

 

- all women seeking an abortion to receive a mandatory ultrasound at least 24 hours in advance

- the ultrasound screen to be aimed toward the woman's face but “permits her to avert her eyesâ€

- that a woman seeking abortion care accept two printouts of the ultrasound image, and requires she deliver the image to her physician in order to have the procedure.

 

Medical groups have already come out in opposition to this incredible invasion of the physician-patient relationship, but we need your voice to put an end to this madness and prevent Pennsylvania from becoming the next Virginia! Contact your legislator, share this email and let’s remind our elected officials that we’re paying attention and we are NOT pleased.

 

What you can do:

 

1. Call Ron Marsico (717) 783-2014 and tell them to oppose House Bill 1077 and stop the attacks on women’s health once and for all!

2. Sign this petition.

3. Tell 7 friends about the petition and encourage them to sign it and spread the word!

what's freaky is how this isn't even being covered in the news. i only saw this on a friend's facebook.

how are people supposed to know and mobilize if we're ignorant that this is happening?!

Ahh that's because the evil liberal news media like fox News and Clear Channel (remember how they started call it "liberal" about ten years ago? now everyone assumes that's true) won't report it.

They'll attach a rider that forces the dr to hold the woman's eyelids open. Averting your eyes is such a liberal babykiller move.
