Abortions on the Decline in PA

Posted on by

Pro-life advocates are hopeful because the latest abortion statistics show that the total number of abortions declined in the Commonwealth in 2010. Pennsylvania’s abortion totals would be much higher were it not for the state’s Alternatives to Abortion program, administered by Real Alternatives. The program provides everything from day care referrals to diapers to empower women to choose life for their children. While even one abortion is a tragedy, we are encouraged that the abortion rate is declining in our state.

Governor Signs Abortion Center Regulation Bill

Posted on by

Governor Tom Corbett has signed into law Senate Bill 732, which is intended to increase regulation at abortion facilities around the state. The law is a response to the massive tragedy in West Philadelphia, where abortionist Kermit Gosnell is charged with the murders of seven newborn babies and one female patient. Gosnell’s “house of horrors” abortion center had not been inspected in 17 years. The new law includes unannounced inspections of abortion facilities, among other increased regulations.

Bill to Protect Taxpayer Dollars Closer to Passage

Posted on by

A Pennsylvania House bill to protect taxpayer dollars from being used for abortions is closer to passage. HB 1977 would ensure that Pennsylvania opts out of abortion funding under the new health care law. Public opinion polls show the vast majority of Americans do not want public money to be used for abortion, so this bill only makes sense. The PA House may vote on the measure next week.
