Planned Parenthood Concurrent Resolution Passes Last Committee
Today, (April 15, 2016) the joint House Committee of Health and Human Services passed the SCR85 SD1 celebrating the work of Planned Parenthood. Let that sink in. While true Health Organizations like Wahiawa General struggles to stay open, both Chambers have decided that passing a non-binding (but very public) resolution celebrating the "health services" provided by Planned Parenthood Hawai'i. Hawaii Youth Services network, Hawaii Nurses Association OPEIU local 50, and the Women's Caucus Democratic Party of Hawaii testified in support. (Along with a few other organizations). The Hawaii Family Forum, Hawaii Catholic Conference, PEACE Hawaii and the Hawaii Federation of Republican Women submitted testimony in opposition. Planned Parenthood used their "PPACTION" tool to secure lots of testimony in support although we noticed that a few champions for life did not stay silent.
The vote in the committee(s) was as follows:
(House Health) Representative(s) Belatti, Creagan, Hashem, Kobayashi, Morikawa; and 4 Excused: Representative(s) Jordan, Oshiro, Fukumoto Chang, Tupola.
(House Human Services) 5 Ayes: Representative(s) Morikawa, Kobayashi, Belatti, Creagan, Hashem; Ayes with reservations: none; 3 Excused: Representative(s) Jordan, Oshiro, Fukumoto Chang.
