✡︎ Shalom & Good Day! ✡︎
We have until tomorrow Thursday March 24th at 3:00 pm ET to submit opinions to the Connecticut Government Administration and Elections Committee on pending Senate Joint Resolution 30 that would enshrine unlimited abortion into the Connecticut Constitution. The PUBLIC HEARING is FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 2022. It will be aired in a zoom meeting, where you will have an opportunity to share your submission. Here is the link to the zoom registration:
The registration form gives instructions about how to submit your comments, stating:
Please email written testimony in Word or PDF format to [email protected]. Testimony should clearly state testifier name and related bill number. The Committee requests that testimony be limited to matters related to the items on the Agenda. The first hour of the hearing is reserved for Legislators, Constitutional Officers, Chief Elected Municipal Officials and State Agency Heads. Speakers will be limited to three minutes of testimony. The Committee encourages witnesses to submit a written statement and to condense oral testimony to a summary of that statement. All public hearing testimony, written and spoken, is public information.
Unfortunately, yet again it is a Jewish elected official, this time Rep. Matt Blumenthal, D-Stamford, the vice chair of Judiciary and the co-chair of a new Reproductive Rights Caucus, who said the legal theory behind out-of-state abortion bans affecting Connecticut is not far-fetched. “I think people are realizing how endangered these rights are, not only in the states where they would be banned but across the country, even in states like Connecticut, where they’re expressly legally permitted,” Blumenthal said. “And it’s an urgent problem that needs to be addressed.”
Abortion fight, once deemed settled, resumes at Connecticut Capitol
