A small rally was held today at the Arizona state capitol in protest of House Bill 2284, which would allow surprise government inspections of abortion clinics. The bill would also make it a misdemeanor to aid or assist a minor in obtaining an abortion in violation of the state’s parental consent laws.
HB2284 to add unscheduled inspections of abortion clinics passing #azleg House so far. Dems say its unconstitutional, violates privacy

H.B. 2284 would also amend existing reporting requirements, requiring an abortion provider to report “whether an infant was born alive during or immediately after an attempted abortion and the efforts made to promote, preserve and maintain the life of the infant.”

Jodi Liggett is Director of Policy for Planned Parenthood Arizona; the Center for Arizona Policy is a pro-life, pro-family organization which threw its support behind S.B. 1062, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which was recently vetoed by Gov. Jan Brewer. This bill too is likely to draw national attention.
Another Herrod bill, #HB2284, which would allow surprise inspections of abortion clinics is being voted on in AZ House now, and it's close!

HB2284 narrowly passes the House. Will be sent to the Senate. #azleg

#HB2284 was just approved by the #AZ House and will now be sent to the Senate. Email your legislator and tell them to vote NO on #HB2284
