ACTION ALERT: Stop House Bill 26: The Reproductive Freedom Act

Radical pro-abortion legislators have introduced House Bill 26, a dangerous piece of legislation that would completely dismantle Pennsylvania’s longstanding protections for the unborn and rewrite our laws to promote even more widespread abortion. This bill is extreme, it ignores common-sense regulations and it endangers vulnerable mothers and children.

What HB 26 Would Do:

• Repeal Pennsylvania’s Abortion Control Act, thereby eliminating decades of pro-life protections.
• End parental consent requirements allowing minors to obtain invasive abortions without a parent’s knowledge.
• Eliminate informed consent by removing the 24-hour waiting period and preventing some patients from obtaining critical health information before an abortion.
• Allow non-physicians to perform abortions – expanding already dangerous abortion procedures beyond doctors to nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
• Legalize late-term abortion for “mental health” reasons – a vague standard that has been exploited in other states to remove any time limits on abortion.
• Permit telemedicine chemical abortions, which eliminates in-person medical evaluations, ultrasounds, and other basic health safeguards.
• Remove Born-Alive protections, denying medical care to babies who survive botched abortions.
• Permit taxpayer-funded abortions, forcing Pennsylvanians to pay for elective abortion procedures.

HB 26 represents a complete shift in Pennsylvania law. It would move abortion regulations from the Crimes Code to the Health and Welfare Code, doubling down on the lie that abortion is “health care” instead of revealing what it truly is: the taking of an innocent life. Furthermore, this bill criminalizes pro-life counseling by making it a felony offense to “coerce” a woman into keeping her baby – another vague standard that could easily be used to silence pastors, pregnancy resource centers, and even family members.

This bill is radical, reckless, and completely out of step with Pennsylvania values.
