PA House Bill 1077
http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/billinfo/bill_history.cfm?syear=2011&sind=0&body=H&type=B&bn=1077"An Act providing for ultrasound test requirements to determine gestational ages of unborn children; establishing the right to view ultrasound image and ultrasound video of unborn child and the right to observe or hear the fetal heartbeat; providing for powers and duties of the Department of Health and for duties of physicians performing abortions; requiring certain reports to be filed with the Department of Health; imposing administrative sanctions and criminal penalties; and providing for remedies."
Just received word of this today in an e-mail from my local Representative. He is one of the sponsors.
Does "right" mean requirement?
The bill does not list the administrative sanctions, criminal penalties, or remedies.
I hope the ACLU and Planned Parenthood are aware of and doing something about this.
