Stop PA HB1077 to permit transvaginal ultrasound w/o consent

Dear Pennsylvania MoveOn member,

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives is poised to pass HB 1077, which requires all women seeking an abortion to be subjected to a mandatory ultrasound at least 24 hours prior to having the abortion.

The bill would subject women to invasive, transvaginal ultrasounds, requires the ultrasound screen to be aimed toward the woman's face, and requires that she deliver a print of the image to her physician in order to have the procedure. 

This bill operates under the guise that women aren't smart enough to understand their own bodies. The Pennsylvania Medical Society and other medical groups have already come out in opposition to this incredible violation of the physician/patient relationship.

Your representative can help stop this demeaning and unnecessary attack by voting no on HB 1077, but we need your help! That's why I created a petition to the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives on SignOn.org, which says:

Stop the cruel, demeaning attacks on women—vote NO on HB 1077 and stop mandatory, invasive ultrasounds from becoming law in Pennsylvania!

Will you sign the petition? Click here to add your name, and then pass it along to your friends:
