Connecticut pro-lifers had a great showing against HB 6618, Connecticut’s Abortion Tourism Bill: 460 written testimonies AGAINST the bill vs. only 11 – mostly professional abortion activists – in favor of abortion tourism.

HB 6618 would fund killing the children of poor, out-of-state women through abortion.  Protected in their home state against coercion and trafficking . . . CT pro-abortionists are unsatisfied.  They want you to fund their abortions here.

HB 6618 not only offends the 66% of Connecticut residents who think abortion should be restricted, it adds insult by forcing those taxpayers to fund the abortions for out-of-state people and their travel expenses!

This bill is a $2 million consolation prize to CT abortionists after the defeat of Roe v. Wade last year.  Connecticut can’t afford it and the abortionists don’t need it.

With a 32% reduction of on-site abortions in Connecticut over the past 10 years, Connecticut’s abortion providers appear to be pressuring their legislator-water-bearers to make up that revenue by paying for the abortions of out-of-state residents and their travel expenses.
