Debate on PA House floor now on Rep. Frank Ryan’s HB 118, the Unborn Child Dignity Act. It would enable parents whose unborn children are lost before birth to claim the remains for cremation or burial at their own expense. PCC supports this bill. @PAHouseGOP @FrankRyanCPA pic.twitter.com/B8uOWJQv7i

Democrats are bringing forth a string of amendments for Rep. Frank Ryan’s Unborn Child Dignity Act. So far they have all been defeated. Ryan continues to correct what he says are mischaracterizations of the bill. @PAHouseGOP pic.twitter.com/lQGxYtkEHa

All Democrat amendments to Rep. Frank Ryan’s HB 118 are either voted down or withdrawn. This was second reading today. The bill heads to a final vote, possibly as early as tomorrow. @PAHouseGOP @FrankRyanCPA pic.twitter.com/V6efneuwDr
