Abortion Funding Opt-Out for PA Passes Committee

Apr 10, 2013 | 0 comments

Pennsylvania took a step in the right direction today in passing SB 3 out of committee today by a 8-5 vote.

SB 3 would ensure that abortion will not be covered under the health care exchanges (Obamacare). This would maintain the status quo – preserving current Pennsylvania policy prohibiting public funding of abortions.

  1. Senator Donald White (lead sponsor of the bill)
  2. Senator Joseph Scarnati
  3. Senator James Brewster
  4. Senator Patrick Browne
  5. Senator Michael Brubaker
  6. Senator John Eichelberger
  7. Senator John Rafferty
  8. Senator Kim Ward

  2. Senator Lawrence Farnese

(Also, Senator Jake Corman was absent from committee.)
