Anti-Dissection Choice Lobbyist Up to No Good Again
Massachusetts Dissection Choice Bill H. 1252 has
been stalled from an otherwise quick passage through the House by
Representative Patricia Haddad, who is acting under the influence
of the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA). The MTA has convinced
Haddad to attempt to add a "local option" to H. 1252,
leaving it up to local school districts to decide whether or not
to allow students the choice of humane dissection alternatives -
thus gutting the bill.
The bill has enormous legislative support , and we cannot let the
MTA's attempt to derail H. 1252 succeed.
IF YOU CARE ABOUT ANIMALS AND COMPASSIONATE STUDENTS PLEASE TAKE
ONE MINUTE to contact Rep. Haddad NOW and ask her to not support
MTA's "local option" language but rather vote to SUPPORT
Rep. Kafka's Dissection Choice bill as is.
WE COUNTED ON EACH OF YOU IN THE PAST AND SUCCEEDED IN BACKING OFF
OPPOSITION - PLEASE LET'S DO IT AGAIN!!!!
