One proposed bill would make abortion legal until the moment of birth, require doctors who do not perform the procedure to provide references to abortionists, and establish a “buffer zone” around clinics. The second bill would also establish buffer zones, making pro-life witness near abortion clinics illegal.
Archbishop Fisher encouraged Catholics to sign a petition urging legislators to protect human life, and suggested individual contact with lawmakers as well.
