ISPN: Action Alert - GOP Secret Plan to Ban Abortion Vote TONIGHT

Tuesday March 28:

***ACTION ALERT: Secret GOP Abortion Bill***

Just minutes before a scheduled committee vote, Republicans dropped a secret plan to prohibit abortion beginning as early as 6 weeks, called "fetal heartbeat".

Make no mistake about it, House Republicans are pushing this bill through at the last minute for the special interests because they don't want to hear from Iowans. The House Human Resources Committee is planning to vote on this bill TONIGHT. (You can read the secret plan here)

We need just two Republicans on the Human Resources Committee to vote with Democrats and help us stop this plan. Can you call these four Republicans right now and tell them to vote NO on the fetal heartbeat amendment to Senate File 471?

Rep. Michael Bergan - 563-380-3974

Rep. Dave Heaton - 319-931-4792

Rep. Tom Moore - 515-281-3221

Rep. Rob Taylor - 515-281-3221

Here's what we know about this terrible bill so far:

It was unveiled just hours ago, but they want to vote on it tonight

It appears the amendment will ban common forms of birth control

It bans abortion as early as 6 weeks, before many women even know they are pregnant

Similar fetal heartbeat bills have been ruled unconstutional (Arkansas) and vetoed by Republican Governors (Ohio)

I called and mailboxes are full or the number doesn't pick up.
