NRL News Parental Notice Bill Reintroduced Pro-life Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fl.) has reintroduced the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act (CIANA), a bill strongly supported by National Right to Life. The same legislation was approved by the House of Representatives in 2005 and again in 2006, but Senate Democrats blocked it from receiving a final vote in September, shortly before the congressional elections. The bill would require an abortionist to notify a parent, in most cases, before performing an abortion on a minor who is a resident of a different state. The new bill number is H.R. 1063. To see a current list of cosponsors of the bill, or to send an e-mail to your representative in support of the bill, go to the Legislative Action Center on the NRLC website (http://www.capwiz.com/nrlc/home/) and click on “Issues and Legislation.” |
