House Bill 2876 – State Rep. Martin Moylan – ABORTION CLINICS – NEW – It has been referred to Rules Committee.
Note: This bill is similar to HB 3735 in 2017 which would have created a crime of intimidation at “woman’s health clinics.” Intimidation under the law includes “speech.” I had our pro-life groups go against it because of this. However, with the help of Rep. Mayfield and Rep. Breen, I was able to have the sponsor accept an amendment that would take out the “speech” part of intimidation. While the sponsor (Conroy) filed the amendment, she ended up not moving her bill (probably because “speech” was the reason for the bill in the first place). This new bill HB 2876 now contains our requested language. Peter Breen believed in 2017 that this would help our crisis pregnancy centers which are also “woman’s health clinics” and have had damage to their properties too.
