Heartbeat Bill

Kudos to Senators Telena Nelson, Chris Duenas, Tony Ada, and Frank Blas Jr. for introducing the Heartbill law, which was patterned after the Texas law.  The bill prohibits doctors from performing an abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected.  The bill would only allow an abortion when the woman’s life is in danger.  According to The Pacific Daily News:

The “Guam Heartbeat Act of 2022” prohibits doctors from performing abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected. Exceptions are made for medical emergencies “where a pregnant woman would lose her life or her health would be severely impaired.”

The passage of this bill would save thousands of unborn babies and would also for couples to act more responsibly toward sex.  Archbishop Michael also came out and publicly supported the bill.  You can read Archbishop Michael’s letter here.  We are hoping and praying that the bill would pass the Guam Legislature.  Again, a big thank you to Telena Nelson, Chris Duenas, Tony Ada, and Frank Blas Jr.
