HARRISBURG, Feb 7 (LSN.ca) - On January 21, the Pennsylvania March of Dimes called for passage of state legislation to create a state birth defects surveillance program. American Life League notes that the bill "would mandate reporting of conditions relating to birth defects, not only at birth but whenever such problems are detected." The proposed law cites "average lifetime medical care costs" as a reason for cutting down on birth defects. The bill proposes developing "prevention education and advocacy strategies for reducing the incidence of birth defects."
Since the March of Dimes has a long history in support of eugenics - the elimination via abortion of those babies deemed to be defective, ALL warns pro-lifers should be concerned with such legislation. House Bill 1625, was sponsored by Representative Jere W. Schuler (R, Lancaster), Chairman of the House Aging and Youth Committee, has more than 40 bipartisan sponsors.
