Guys please pay attention to H.R 586, a bill introduced that would declare human life begins at fertilization.
Don’t let this bill slip by. Call your reps. Spread the word.
Getting real tired.
This has 23 co-sponsors from GA, AR, SC, TX, AZ, WI, OH, MO, TN, OK, VA, and IN. If you live in one of these states, these are your representatives. Link.
I found a decent script for this, thank you reddit user alwaysdrinkingcoffee:
“Hello Representative __________,
As a constituent, I urge you to oppose H.R.586, introduced by Congressman Hice last week, “to provide that human life shall be deemed to begin with fertilization.” This bill simply cannot be allowed to pass, as it is both unconstitutional and it denies women the right to bodily autonomy. This bill is an attack on the rights of women, and therefore the rights of all of us.
The negative effects of restricting abortion, especially for the working and lower class, cannot be understated. It should be the right of every woman to choose what is right for her body, not the right of the Republican Party to legislate those choices. Thank you for your time.”
Also consider implications this could have on some types of birth control and also on in-vitro fertilization. (in case you need additional reasons to yell at your reps abt)
