SB1146 would require the State Treasurer to divest from organizations that promote, facilitate, or advocate abortions for minors or the inclusion of sexually explicit material in grades K-12.
The House passed SB1146 on May 15, 2023, by a vote of 31 to 27, prior to it being vetoed by the Governor. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because parents have the right—which the government has a duty to uphold—to protect their children from elicitation by abortion providers, as well as from exposure to other forms of obscene, indecent, or profane activity. This right is retained under and guaranteed by the 9th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
