The Senate vote is scheduled for this Thursday, May 22.
The House passed SB 319 as amended. Now it returns to the Senate for them to accept or reject the new House version. We’re extremely concerned that SB 319 will curtail the Constitutional rights of citizens to protect private businesses.
SB 319 creates 25-foot “buffer zones” around abortion clinics.
Please CALL senators and ask them to vote ‘NO’ to the House amendment for any/all of these reasons:
SB 319 affects the Constitutional rights of citizens to use public property for public speech and prayer[free exercise of our religion]. Citizens have guaranteed rights to assemble, speak, and exercise their religious duties.
The exercise of every person’s right to offer alternative counseling and medical services is a First Amendment activity must be protected.
SB 319 protects private facilities that conduct abortions. What other private businesses will seek similar protection? Slaughter houses? Gun Shops? Strip clubs?
SB 319 Requires no public hearing or even consultation with property abutters. We should insure notice is given to abutters and a public hearing held before a no linger zone, which may affect their property rights, is imposed.
The Supreme Court of the US has a buffer zone case and will rule on it this term. SB 319 could be unconstitutional.
Senate Contact Info: Names that are highlighted gray voted FOR SB 319 before and we need at least three (3) of them to vote ‘NO’ this time.
