Republican state lawmakers unveiled two pieces of legislation on Monday that aim to restrict abortion access.
Pennsylvania may be on its way to joining a handful of states where abortion is banned after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, something that can occur before a woman is even aware that she is pregnant.
"When you hear a baby's heartbeat, everything changes," Rep. Stephanie Borowicz said during a press conference at the state capitol."If you can be declared dead when the heart stops why not declared alive when it starts?" But if the bills successfully make their way through the General Assembly, Pennsylvania would join a long list of states that moved this year to ban abortion when a fetal heartbeat can be detected. Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio all passed similar anti-abortion legislation earlier this year.
