____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Other protective bills not connected to Life Gauge's
efforts, bills that serve the purpose of disguising legislators' recorded votes against the
babies . . . It doesn't take anything to introduce a
bill. It costs nothing in terms of political capital, and means
nothing in terms of actually protecting babies. All of the lead
sponsors in this list have on record actions or votes that harm unborn
babies, and therefore these legislators have received a permanent grade
of F from Life Gauge. SB 92 --- parental notification for minors.
Prezioso, Bowman, Unger. HHR, Judic,
Finance. (Prezioso up for re-election; for years has killed all Life
Gauge bills in his committee.)

state funding of abortions. Kessler, Plymale, Bowman, Love,
Prezioso, Green. Kessler has killed many Life Gauge bills in his
Judiciary committee
HB 2151 --- parental notification. Cann,
Stalnaker, Pino, Fragale, Kominar, Pethtel, Craig, Perry, Beach,
Iaquinta. All of them covering for March 2006 vote to kill parent

HB 2727 --- criminal offense to injure to a pregnant
woman that results in death of baby. Hatfield (pro-abort who cares about the woman,
