HB5414 prevents state officials from taking certain actions to assist in judicial cases involving individuals accused of providing or receiving support for abortion-related services that result in crimes in another state. It also authorizes nurses, nurse-midwives, and physician assistants to perform abortions.
The Senate passed HB5414 on April 29, 2022, by a vote of 25 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the nays because states should act to ban abortion and secure the right to life for all persons. The right to life is the most fundamental God-given and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and is guaranteed by the 5th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
