'Prolife Bus' rolls out of committee

House of Representatives could vote June 12-14

On June 7, the Michigan House Health Policy Committee voted 13-5 to pass the Prolife Bus bill. The Prolife Bus bill represents the largest collection of prolife legislation ever addressed at one time in the Michigan legislature. House Bill 5711 is an omnibus bill combining several currently introduced prolife bills into one large new bill.

Right to Life of Michigan Legislative Director Ed Rivet said, "The resolve of the prolife majority on the House Health Policy Committee was unwavering. The best interests of women, their unborn children and the state of Michigan were well-served by the committee members who voted to pass the Prolife Bus bill."

The unofficial plan is for the bills to be taken up by the full Michigan House June 12-14.

ACTION NEEDED NOW: All prolife supporters should immediately contact their state representative in Lansing and encourage his or her support for the Prolife Bus bill. The message is very simple:

Vote YES on H.B. 5711-5713. Reforming Michigan's abortion industry is long overdue! (Or for short, "Vote Yes on the Prolife Bus!")
