Petition to End Petitions!

I am writing to you today as your constituent to ask that you OPPOSE HB 3320 and SB 1209, the so-called Roe Act, which could more appropriately be named the \"Infanticide Act.\"

What precisely is in the bill? The Roe Act would wipe out all parental involvement in underage girls getting abortions - parents would not need to be notified, and underage girls would no longer be required to go to court to get an abortion without the permission of their parents.

It gives a doctor complete discretion on performance of abortions - Medical judgement \"may be exercised in the light of all factors-physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the person\'s age-relevant to the well-being of the patient.\" This strips away any final hurdle to abortion at any stage of the baby\'s development, for any reason.

It removes any requirement to save the life of the child during or after the abortion. So if a baby is accidentally born during a late term procedure, it can still be killed.

It allows late-term abortions (abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy) to be performed anywhere-removing any kind of requirement that late-term abortions (considered to be \"major surgery\") be performed in a hospital. Back-alley abortions will be legal and celebrated-regardless of the safety of the mother.

It allows \"Healthy Start\" funds to be used to pay for abortions on middle-class women that do not have Medicaid/Masshealth. Healthy Start is a wellness program designed to assist pregnant women and their babies to ensure healthy moms and kids. In a sick twist, funds could be taken from needy moms and kids to fund abortions for women not on public assistance.

Even in \"liberal\" Massachusetts, the average person does not want to legalize infanticide or allow 11 year old girls to get abortions without any parental involvement. Recent polling data from the Susan B Anthony List confirms this.

I ask you as a constituent that you please take a stand against the Roe Act today. Thank you.
