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.

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.
