S.B. 529 Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act

Action Needed

S.B. 529 introduced by Senator Chip Pearson March 18th passed the Senate 33 – 14 March 26th and could pass this session. It (a) prohibits abortion based on the sex or race of a child and (b) prohibits coercive (forced) abortion. After it passed the Senate and went to the House, the Speaker put it in the House Judiciary Committee, whose members will decide its fate.

S.B. 529 is the Senate version of the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PreNDA), which was introduced as H.B. 1155 and died in the House Non Civil Judiciary Committee. S.B. 529 will be killed, also, unless an avalanche of contacts is made to Judiciary Committee Chairman Willard and his committee members.
