The Down Syndrome Protection Act has been reintroduced in the
Pennsylvania House of Representatives and referred to the House Health Committee.
The latest Down syndrome bill is sponsored by House Speaker Mike Turzai (R–Allegheny County) and state Rep. Kate Klunk (R-York County). The bill has also garnered dozens of co-sponsors from all across the political spectrum.
The popular bill passed the House last session by an overwhelming, bipartisan, veto-proof majority, but stalled in the state Senate. The common sense legislation would ban abortions for the sole reason of a Down syndrome diagnosis.
Research shows that the vast majority of children who receive a Down syndrome diagnosis in the womb lose their lives to abortion. Many parents report being pressured by doctors to turn to abortion after receiving a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome.
