The so-called “Prenatal Non-Discrimination Act,” introduced last year by Rep. Trent Franks and sponsored by 98 members of the House, pretends to care about sex discrimination and gender inequity.

The proposed law would profile women based on race, place barriers between women and the reproductive health services they need, and force doctors to question the motives of their patients.

The lawmakers behind this bill have consistently opposed laws intended to protect women from violence and discrimination, such as the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, the Paycheck Fairness Act, and the Global Sexual and Reproductive Health Act. They are the same people gunning for Planned Parenthood’s funding and allowing women with life-threatening pregnancies to suffer and die rather than allow a doctor to provide abortion care.

Still time to let your Rep know how you feel about this.
