Senate should act on abortion bill

Many women in Pennsylvania are thankful that the state House had the foresight to pass House Bill 1948, a common-sense piece of legislation that bans brutal dismemberment abortions and changes the legal cutoff for abortions from six to five months.

A statewide poll last year found 64 percent of Pennsylvania women support a dismemberment ban, which forbids babies being torn limb by limb from their mothers’ wombs.

A group of OB-GYNs noted that banning dismemberment abortions will actually improve the health of women, since late-term abortions are particularly dangerous.

For the sake of both women and their children, the state Senate should take swift action on this important bill.
