From Julie A. Burkhart, Founder
& CEO, Trust Women Foundation:
You’ve seen the news, 5 states in
the last 5 days have introduced or passed extreme, punitive and dangerous
bills limiting abortion rights even further. Here in Kansas, we know how
destructive and dangerous these laws are.
Now the Kansas legislature is adding an appropriations
amendment that would outlaw embryonic research from fetal tissue. To add insult
to injury, anti-choice Rep. Steve Fitzgerald compared
fetal tissue research to the atrocities of the holocaust during WWII.
Not
only is Rep. Fitzgerald’s comparison abhorrent, false and cruel, but his
proposed amendment would outlaw any research that uses tissue samples from
fetuses. His amendment severely limits innovate research that could help all
kind of patients, including those trying to get pregnant.
Kansas
has always been a state that supports science and seeks to innovate and find
solid solutions. This bill is a step away from the pioneering spirit of Kansas,
as well as a blatant attempt to win anti-choice points on the Senate floor.
We need folks to urge the Approriations Committee to
vote NO! on Rep. Fitzgerald’s amendment, Sec. 101 in SB 269:

States across the country have seen a dangerous course
of anti-choice laws introduced or
passed in just the last week. We need to make sure our state doesn’t
fall prey to inaccurate information, horrific comparisons and lies that make it
into our laws here in Kansas.
Please
call these lawmakers and tell them to vote NO on Sec. 101 in SB 269, because
lies should not be part of our laws!
Thank
you for all you do,
Julie
