HARRISBURG - Rep. Brad Roae (R-Crawford/Erie) today issued the following statement in response to passage of House Bill 1957 :

"I'm stunned the majority of my House colleagues would support abortion on demand up until the birth of a child. As Christians celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior in about a week, I am grateful Joseph and the Virgin Mary chose life. Science has evolved immensely since Jesus was born. Aborting a child that has reached the point of viability outside the womb is murder. We are a barbaric society if this is allowed to occur."

The 6th Legislative District includes the city of Meadville; Beaver, Conneaut, East Fairfield, East Fallowfield, East Mead, Fairfield, Greenwood, Hayfield, North Shenango, Pine, Randolph, Sadsbury, South Shenango, Spring, Summerhill, Summit, Union, Vernon, Wayne, West Fallowfield, West Mead and West Shenango townships; and Cochranton, Conneaut Lake, Conneautville, Linesville and Springboro boroughs in Crawford County and Conneaut, Elk Creek and Springfield townships and Albion and Cranesville boroughs in Erie County.
