Your Voices Were Heard to Stop Taxpayer Funding of Abortions!
The Human Services Committee failed to take action on HB 6618 - "An Act Concerning Medical Assistance for Certain Persons Receiving Abortion Care and Related Services in Connecticut". Therefore, the bill died in committee.

Your Voices Were Heard;
Legalization Of Physician Assisted Suicide Fails in Committee
SB 1076 did not have enough votes to be referred to the state Senate
-----------------------
The legislation had been approved by the Public Health Committee and was then referred to the Judiciary Committee by the Senate for further review. Several members of the Committee spoke from both sides of the issue, but the Co-Chairs did not call a vote. It was clearly stated that the proposal did not have a majority of votes for approval to keep the legislation alive.
------------------
This would not of been possible without your efforts in sending emails or calling your Senator and Representative and members of the Judiciary Committee. A special thanks who took time to speak out at the public hearing.

Stay Watchful! The budget process is far from over. The funding and provisions of HB 6618 may be placed back into the budget as the session progresses. The Conference will be watching for any further action on this issue.
