Trust Women, Oppose H.B. 716

Dear supporter of liberty,   

 

They're at it again. Today, North Carolina legislators are holding a committee hearing on yet another bill that would undermine the public's trust in women and insert the government between a woman and her doctor.

Tell your House representative to vote NO on H.B. 716!

By fining doctors for "recklessly" performing an abortion where sex selection is a "significant factor" in a woman's decision, H.B. 716 would require doctors to read the minds of their patients, turning care providers into investigators and patients into suspects, while at the same time insulting women who make the extremely difficult decision to end a pregnancy by suggesting that they may be doing so for trivial reasons.

Women can and should be trusted to make serious decisions about their own reproductive health.  When they make the very difficult decision to terminate a pregnancy, they deserve caring, non-judgmental health care -- not an interrogation.

Tell your House representative to respect women's private health care decisions and vote NO on H.B. 716!
 
Thank you as always for your continued support of civil liberties for all North Carolinians.    

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Sarah Preston
