The House Health Committee is expected to vote TODAY on Senate Bill 3 (SB3) – finally updating our state law to end late-term and dismemberment abortion. If passed, the full PA House may vote on this as early as tomorrow (Tuesday, Dec, 5th).
Would you please do two things:
- Contact your State Representative in support of SB3.
- Our records show that your State Representative is John T. Galloway (717) 787-1292.
- To email your State Representative, use our Citizen Action Center – tinyurl.com/YESonSB3)
- Recruit three others to do the same.

Senate Bill 3 (SB3) was passed by the Senate in February and is now coming up for an expected vote in the House. Planned Parenthood and other extreme abortion activists are pushing hard against this legislation so we need your help on this bill now more than ever.
It is utterly absurd that Pennsylvania abortion law, which was last changed nearly 30 years ago, still permits late-term abortion.
- “In the United States, most pediatrics and obstetrics societies agree that 22 weeks of gestation is the lower threshold of viability…” (CNN – 11/11/17)
- Emma, Leah, Will, Callie, Sofia, Jackson….all children born at 24 weeks and earlier that are now thriving. Thirty years ago, babies born at 24 weeks were very unlikely to survive. Today, the majority of babies born at 24 weeks are now saved. (See their stories: pafamily.org/life)
- Only 7 nations out of 198 allows elective abortion past 20 weeks – a list that includes Communist China, North Korea and the United States. “It seemed extreme for just seven countries out of 198 to allow elective abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. But upon further digging, the data back up the claim.” (Washington Post 10/9/17)
To note, here in the United States, there are now 21 states that have already updated their abortion law to end late-term abortion.
Not only would SB3 update state law to end late-term abortion but would also ban the barbaric practice of dismemberment abortion.
- “The fetus, in many cases, dies just as a human adult or child would: It bleeds to death as it is torn apart limb by limb. The fetus can be alive at the beginning of the dismemberment process and can survive for a time while its limbs are being torn off.” – Justice Anthony Kennedy
- A former abortion doctor, who performed over 1,200 abortion, describes a form of dismemberment abortion called Dilation & Evacuation (D&E) in a video interview (Warning: Disturbing animation).
Please contact your State Representative in support of SB3. Hundreds of both late-term & dismemberment abortions happen in Pennsylvania every year. With your help, we can change that.
Thank you for taking action and for your help in ultimately working to save lives here in Pennsylvania.
Sincerely,
