09 Feb Vote “No” on HB 1009 Abortion Insurance Mandate
Friends,
Our opposition to abortion is rooted in our belief that people have a fundamental right to life, and that the life of the human person begins at conception. We oppose abortion because we believe that it violates the equal right to life to which all human persons are entitled.
Unfortunately, HB 1009 seeks to expand abortion’s reach by requiring insurance companies to cover abortions in student health plans.
HB 1009 is morally objectionable, not only because it assists abortion, but also because it forces companies and students who share our principled opposition to abortion to fund it – directly or indirectly – with their own money.
Just as pacifists should not be forced to fight wars, people who oppose abortion should not be forced to pay for it.
Please contact your Representatives and urge them to “Vote ‘No’ on HB 1009.”
You can reach Representatives through the legislative hotline at 1-800-562-6000 (the hotline staff are non-partisan and very helpful), or directly by phone or email.
You can find your legislators’ contact info by district here and the full lists of committees here.
Legislators do track how many people contact them; it makes a difference. Feel free to use this email to help craft your own message. If you do use it, we recommend adding a personal note.
Thank you for standing up for life!
