Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) today applauded the introduction of a Senate companion bill to his Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act by Senator Ashley Moody (R-FL). This bill will protect children and uphold parental rights by prohibiting the transportation of minors across state lines for the purpose of receiving an abortion without following the parental notification laws in the minor’s resident state. Senators Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Jim Risch (R-ID), Steve Daines (R-MT), John Kennedy (R-LA), Deb Fischer (R-NE), James Lankford (R-OK), and Pete Ricketts (R-NE) joined Senator Moody as cosponsors of this legislation.
“No one should be sneaking children across state lines to receive secret abortions behind the backs of that child’s parents,” said Congressman Taylor. “This bill will hold all parties accountable and ensure children are not taken advantage of. As states like California and Illinois promote abortions for all and keep parents in the dark about their child’s health, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act will put parents back in the equation and protect the lives of both the child and the unborn.”
