The fourth week of Session has been disheartening to say the least. Simon's law, which was a simple bill to ensure parental involvement and consent in Do Not Resuscitate orders died in the full Health and Human Services Committee. The fact that Democrats do not even want reasonable parameters, makes me remorseful and scares me for families like ours. These parameters are necessary for children with medical complications, and families of children with disabilities.
As I was sitting waiting for committee, I witnessed democrats kill a bill that would have helped save children who survive abortions. This bill is common sense, with provisions for gestational age, provisions for parents to make end of life decisions etc. My friend, Nick Freitas fought fervently for this bill, and I am grateful he brought it forward.
