To show solidarity with human life in Washington State, please stand up against the following two bills, which have been brought before the legislature:
- Senate Bill 5179 (SB 5179) and House Bill 1281 (HB 1281) would expand assisted suicide in Washington. On Thursday, February 2, the Senate Committee on Health and Long Term Care conducted a hearing on SB 5179. Bishop Joseph Tyson of the Diocese of Yakima testified against the bill.
- SB 8202 and HB 4201 would create a constitutional “right” to an abortion. Although the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, abortion laws in Washington have not changed. SJR 8202 and HJR 4201 propose enshrining abortion in the state constitution. The proposed amendment would expand abortion, allowing babies to be aborted up to the point of their birth.
