Greetings my fellow Central Committee members!
I hope you are all well and ready to fight harder than ever to protect our precious Pro-Life Republican platform. Things are really heating up in Annapolis, and we need all hands on deck. So keep reading, get involved AND SAVE LIVES!
UPCOMING PRO-LIFE EVENT!
Rape/Incest exceptions in abortion law are universally touted as “mandatory” by the liberal media, allegedly on behalf of these legitimate victims. Yet, these are the only two crimes in America where an innocent third party is put to death for the criminal act of another without ANY due process of law. More and more women now are choosing Life for their children because they understand that abortion trauma does not erase rape/incest trauma. (KA)

LEGISLATIVE ALERTS!

UPCOMING PRO-LIFE HEARINGSMark your calendar and visit the Maryland Right to Life website for info on how to call, email and testify.
HEARINGS: MARCH 19 1:30
1. EQUAL PROTECTION FOR THE UNBORN ACT (SUPPORT)
**PRIORITY BILL**Sponsor: Delegate Metzgar
Bill Number: HB997
First Reading: February 5th in the Health and Government Operations Committee.
House Hearing: MARCH 19TH @ 1:30
Synopsis: to provide for the equal protection of all pre-born human beings in Maryland.
Maryland Right to Life supports with Amendment
I NEED THREE MORE PEOPLE WILLING TO TESTIFY FOR THIS BILL. TESTIMONY BULLET POINTS WILL BE PROVIDED. CALL ME ASAP AT 301-575-4889 TO SIGN UP!
Passage of this bill alone would eliminate the need for all of the following bills:
2. HB1198 Public Health – Abortion – Drug-Induced Abortion Delegate Cox Hearing 3/19 at 1:30 p.m. Health and Government Operations (SUPPORT)
The purpose of this bill is to push back on the outrageous initiative using COVID as an excuse to wholesale force DIY (Do it Yourself) chemical abortion pills on young women and teen girls, including human trafficking victims without any oversight or regulation. A chemical abortion is four times more dangerous than a surgical abortion (watch the movie Unplanned). Pimps and boyfriends can order these pills and coerce or even use these pills like date rape pills, except to end a human life.
(mdrtl)
3. HB0846 Public Health – Abortions – Prenatal Diagnosis of Down Syndrome (Down Syndrome Dignity Act) Delegate Cox Hearing 3/19 at 1:30 p.m.Health and Government Operations. (SUPPORT)
This is another of the growing human rights bills to push back on the idea that disabilities alone make entire classes of people worthy of extermination. Downs people are some of the most loving, beautiful, innocent human beings I have ever known. (KA)
4. HB1109 Health – Abortion – Ultrasound and Waiting Period Delegate Ciliberti In the House – Hearing 3/19 at 1:30 p.m. Health and Government Operations
(SUPPORT)
Ultrasound imaging of a preborn child and wait periods save lives because it gives women a chance to really understand prenatal development of their child. A picture is truly worth a thousand words, and a thousand lives. (KA)
5. HB1112 (SB0891) Public Health – Maternal and Child Mortality – Review and Perinatal Hospice Services Delegate Wivell In the House – Hearing 3/19 at 1:30 p.m.Health and Government Operations (SUPPORT)
More and more women are choosing to give birth and Life, however temporary, to children with fetal anomalies (birth defects). These precious children and their parents deserve support. (KA)
6. HB1167 Maryland Nondiscrimination in Health Care Coverage Act Delegate Cox In the House – Hearing 3/19 at 1:30 p.m. Health and Government Operations (SUPPORT)
This is a post-born Life bill that prevents insurance companies from denying coverage for life-sustaining care because of covid infections.
The assisted suicide Democrats have shifted their focus from a direct euthanasia Bill this year to involuntary healthcare rationing which is another form of human euthanasia.(mdrtl)
The Dems are using COVID, not just to steal elections, but to change and lower the standard of care for COVID patients, ESPECIALLY THE ELDERLY. (KA)

OPPOSE
HB1349 (SB0777) Public Health – Maryland Prenatal and Infant Care Grant Program Fund Delegate Sample-Hughes In the House – Hearing 3/19 at 1:30 p.m. Health and Government Operations
Why is Maryland Right to Life opposing “prenatal and infant care” grant program you may ask? Sounds like a good thing, right?
As I mentioned in a prior MDGOP newsletter, the rising tide of Pro-Life support since President Trump was elected is putting the abortion industry on the defensive. Their latest tactic is to disguise abortion bills as “help” for women and infants to draw them into Planned Parenthood facilities and then pressure them into abortions. Some of our wonderful, hard-working, overwhelmed Republican legislators have been deceived into supporting these bills until they understood the fine print thanks to Maryland Right to Life and then have withdrawn their support.
