Initiative I-1698 – the “Heartbeat” Initiative is back after having been slowed down in the courts for some minor changes. After a hearing before the judge in Thurston County Court, the initiative has been approved to move forward in a slightly different form (although the body of it remains basically the same). The clock has started ticking, and even though the governor has a “stay at home” order, we can still gather signatures, and hit the ground running when the order is lifted (hopefully soon!).
Permission has been given to print out the initiative on 8-1/2 x 11″ paper (be sure to print it double-sided) instead of the usually-required 11 x 17. Please download and print out a copy for everyone in your household to sign and mail in as soon as possible. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD.
I-1698 states: Every living human being has a right to life, including unborn human beings. We know that life ends when the heart permanently ceases to function conversely life has begun when the heart begins to function. Therefore unborn human beings have an right to life when their HEART BEATS!
If you know of a business that is considered “essential” who would like to place initiatives for signature, let us know and we can get some to them.
There’s not much time to gather signatures, so please help however you can!
