Representative Mike Prax’s Co-sponsorship supports HB 195:
1. AUTHORIZES abortionistsand pharmacists to diagnosepregnancies and other health conditions and illnesses under Collaborative Practice Agreements (CPA).
2. REDEFINES patient care services to include prescribing, administering, and dispensing drugs and devices, including abortion pills such as mifepristone.
3. ELIMINATES much of the Department’s and Board’s approval and oversight of CPAs.
4. RELAXES State law to match the federal regulations. The FDA Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) for mifepristone has already been relaxed to permit pharmacists‘prescribing and dispensingmifepristone and other progesterone receptor modulators without in person examinations.
Whereas: Chemical Abortions have surged to 59% of all abortions, claiming 720 babies’ lives in 2024;
Whereas: Every Abortion Pill kills a child in the womb;
Whereas: Insurance data shows that 1 in 10 women that take the abortion pill experience serious or life-threatening adverse events, including hemorrhaging, infections, and sepsis;
Whereas: HB 195 / SB 147 would redefine Patient Care Services to include prescribing, administering, and dispensing controlled substances and Abortion Pills;
Whereas: HB 195 / SB 147would allow Abortionists and Pharmacists to form and operate AbortionPillDistributorships through Collaborative Practice AgreementsWITHOUT approval or oversight;
Whereas: HB 195 / SB 147would create a legal gateway for Pharmacists to Prescribe, Administer, and DispenseAbortion Pills, crossing a line no state should permit;
Whereas: God made man in His own image (Genesis 1:26), human life begins at conception, and God instituted government to protect the right to live (Genesis 9:6);
THEREFORE: so long asHB 195 / SB 147create or maintain a legal gateway for Pharmacists to Prescribe, Administer,ORDispenseAbortion Pills, I urge ALL of Alaska’s Elected Representatives to vote DO NOT PASS or NO and DEFEATHB 195 / SB 147without apology, exception, orcompromise.
