    Texas Heartbeat Law Learn about the new pro-life law protecting the unborn in Texas. The Texas Heartbeat Bill, SB 8, passed the Texas Legislature with bipartisan support and was signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott on May 19, 2021. This new law requires physicians to check for a baby’s heartbeat and inform the mother if the presence of a heartbeat is detected. Once a heartbeat is detected, the doctor must take all necessary steps to protect the life of the child.

    Arsakeia-Tositseia Schools Model United Nations 2019 Committee: Economic and Social Council Issue: Ensuring access to legal abortion services Student Officer: IoannaFlessa Position: Deputy President INTRODUCTION Dear delegates, ECOSOC’s third topic is one of the most controversial and complex issues of our era. Formerly, abortion without medical necessity was considered as an illegal action which was chastened by the law. However, people’s concept changed throughout the years and medical abortions were legalized under certain circumstances. Nowadays, the topic of abortions is a subject of ongoing debate with many people having different opinions on the matter. This study guide will provide you with a very good starting point for your research. However, it is extremely important that you do your own research as well, regarding your country’s policy. Should you have any questions on the topic or the conference in general, feel free to contact me via email ([email protected]) or my Facebook account (IoannaFlessa). I hope that this experience will be special and enlightening for you and I am looking forward to meeting and working with all of you at the conference! Kind regards, Ioanna Flessa 1 Arsakeia-Tositseia Schools Model United Nations 2019 Important note from the chairs’ team In order for the chairs to fully understand the dynamics of the committee, discovering any misunderstanding prior to the debate and for the better preparation of the delegates you are asked to proceed as indicated below; 1) Conduct your chairs via email and informing them about your mun experience so that they can know what exactly to expect of you.

Colloquially, parents say, "Before you were born. ." The clear meaning, of course, is that the "you" ("our son" or "our daughter") existed in the womb before the coming out known as birth. That son or daughter began biological existence, with a unique DNA, at the moment when a spermatozoon fertilized a human egg. Not inaccurately, the resultant fetus is often called an "unborn child." Pregnant women sometimes say, "I can feel my baby moving," or, if they know the sex, "He's (or she's) really kicking, now." We can then understand why that entity, a unique individual of the human species, is recognized as a rights-bearing entity, deserving-as of right-protection from unjustified harm, as any born human individual would possess that right.1 * Professor of Law, Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, Cleveland State University.

    Janet Porter 954-465-1500 Lori Viars 513-932-3554

    Janet Porter Responds to Heartbeat Opponents Quoted in Ohio Senate President’s Letter Contact: Janet Porter 954-465-1500 Lori Viars 513-932-3554 May 3, 2012 – For Immediate Release A letter dated May 2, 2012 from Senate President Tom Niehaus said that because H.B. 125, the Heartbeat Bill, offers a challenge to Roe v. Wade, it is somehow misleading to state what the bill, when enacted, will do. As Right to Life founder Dr. Willke stated, the Heartbeat Bill will protect 90-95 percent of the babies who would otherwise be aborted. Using a very conservative estimate, based on the annual number of Ohio abortions, the Heartbeat Bill would, indeed, save 26,000 babies each year--more than 70 each day--which is more than can fit into any school bus. While it is true that the Senate has passed several regulatory bills, every Senator who ran on a pro-life platform promised to vote to end abortions, not merely regulate them. It is also true that the Ohio Senate has had the Heartbeat Bill since last June--for nearly a year. As Dr. Willke said in his letter, “After forty years and 54 million dead babies, don't ask us to wait any longer.” The pro-life people of Ohio agree and that agreement is demonstrated with more support than for any bill in Ohio history-- 500 national and state pro-life leaders, dozens of the nation's leading pro-life attorneys, and a poll that revealed support from 2 out of 3 likely voters in Ohio--more support than for any bill of its kind.
