No on AZ House Bill 2547

To: Gov. Hobbs, Rep. Simacek, Sen. Bolick, Rep. Wilmeth

From: A verified voter in Phoenix, AZ

April 11

I am writing to express my concerns regarding House Bill 2547, which seeks to prohibit the use of public funds for facilities or organizations that provide or promote abortion services. As your constituent, I strongly believe that this bill undermines access to essential healthcare and disproportionately affects low-income individuals and vulnerable communities. Medical decisions, including those related to reproductive health, should remain between patients and their healthcare providers. Restricting public funding for facilities that offer comprehensive healthcare services, including abortion, could lead to reduced access to critical care for many Arizonans. This bill risks creating barriers to healthcare that are not only unnecessary but also harmful to the well-being of our communities. Furthermore, HB 2547 appears to contradict the principles of personal autonomy and freedom that are fundamental to our state and nation. It is crucial that we prioritize policies that respect individual rights and ensure equitable access to healthcare for all. I urge you to oppose House Bill 2547 and any similar measures that seek to limit healthcare access or interfere with personal medical decisions. Instead, I encourage you to support legislation that upholds the values of choice, autonomy, and comprehensive healthcare for every Arizonan. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
