The Rhode Island House voted on Friday to pass the Reproductive Privacy Act<\/a> in a vote of 44-30. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Anastasia Williams, will allow abortion up until birth and will remove all protections for preborn children — including removing a statute that would allow an assailant to be criminally charged with the killing of a preborn baby against the mother’s will.<\/p>\n

Under the guise<\/a> of protecting women’s health, the Reproductive Privacy Act will allow abortions for any reason through all nine months of pregnancy. Barbaric abortions for healthy mothers on viable children who are capable of surviving outside of the womb\u00a0will be completely legal in the event that Roe v. Wade<\/em> is overturned, which was the mission of Williams and her fellow pro-abortion House members.<\/p>\n

Unlike a separate pro-abortion bill introduced in Rhode Island – The Reproductive Health Care Act – The Reproductive Privacy Act will keep the ban on partial-birth abortion and keep the parental notification law intact; however, it will add grandparents and siblings to the list of people able to approve of a teen’s abortion.<\/p>\n
