URGENT ACTION ALERT

Lobbyists for pro-abortion rights groups are pushing for the State House of Representatives to Vote on HB 5424. 

If you have not already done so, please contact your state representative to protect religious freedom of Catholic hospitals.

HB 5424 “An Act Prohibiting Adverse Actions Against Health Care Providers For Providing Certain Health Care Services”
Next Stop is the State House of Representatives

This proposed legislation is framed as a bill to protect health care providers who want to provide access to “reproductive health care services,” and a person's right to access “gender affirming health care services”. In reality, HB 5424 is solely aimed at Catholic hospitals in our state, which operate under ethical and moral guidelines against such services. This legislation reflects a national attack by advocates of abortion and transgender care on Catholic health care institutions across our country.  

HB 5424 is an effort to weaken the oversight and control Catholic hospitals must maintain over their providers to ensure compliance with the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Services (ERDs), under which all Catholic hospitals operate.
