PETITION
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 147 would allow Abortionists and Pharmacists to form and operate Abortion Pill Distributorships through Collaborative Practice Agreements WITHOUT approval or oversight;
Whereas: HB 195 / SB 147 would create a legal gateway for Pharmacists to Prescribe, Administer, and Dispense Abortion 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 as HB 195 / SB 147 create or maintain a legal gateway for Pharmacists to Prescribe, Administer, OR Dispense Abortion Pills, I urge ALL of Alaska’s Elected Representatives to vote DO NOT PASS or NO and DEFEAT HB 195 / SB 147 without apology, exception, or compromise.
The number of Chemical Abortions in Alaska has more than doubled in five years – from 307 in 2019 to 720 in 2024.
That’s 720 babies killed by abortion pills like Mifepristone and Misoprostol – and that number is growing every year.
For every ten chemical abortions, one woman ends up in the emergency room with serious or life-threatening complications.
These are not “safe” abortions. Every abortion pill harms a mother – and every abortion pill kills a child.
In 2024, the Alaska Superior Court ruled that nurse practitioners and physician assistants can legally perform abortions up to 16 weeks, opening the door to more abortions in Alaska.
Now HB 195 / SB 147 pushes that door open even farther, converting pharmacists into abortionists and converting Alaska’s corner drug store into Abortion Pill Mills.
- Modeled after Washington State’s Pharmacist Abortion Access Project .
- A Trojan Horse for deregulating Chemical Abortion.
- A pathway to turning pharmacies into Abortion Dispensaries.
HB 195 / SB 147 Sponsors and Champions: Senator Cathy Giessel (R), and Representative Genevieve Mina (D).
Representative Julie Coulombe voted to amend HB 195, allowing abortionists to hire pharmacists in virtually unregulated Collaborative Practice Agreements (CPA) in which pharmacists could diagnose pregnancies, prescribe, administer, and dispense abortion pills.
In Legislative Committees, the only acceptable vote when considering bills like HB 195 / SB 147 is a vote to DO NOT PASS.
By voting to amend HB 195, Representative Coulombe allowed the bill to advance without opposition.
1. AUTHORIZING abortionists and pharmacists to diagnose pregnancies and other health conditions and illnesses under Collaborative Practice Agreements (CPA).
2. REDEFINING patient care services to include prescribing, administering, and dispensing drugs and devices, including abortion pills such as mifepristone.
3. ELIMINATING much of the Department’s and Board’s approval and oversight of CPAs.
4. RELAXING 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 dispensing mifepristone and other progesterone receptor modulators without in person examinations.
In its current form, HB 195 allows abortionists to form Collaborative Practice Agreements (CPA) with pharmacists. The CPA authorizes the pharmacist to “provide patient care services.“
Patient care services are redefined in HB 195 (on page 6, line 6), adding the authority for “the prescription or administration of a drug or device to a patient…”
Under a CPA, a pharmacist gains the authority to prescribe and dispense drugs – including abortion pills (mifepristone).
The CPA establishes the rules under which the pharmacists will prescribe, administer, and dispense abortion pills (mifepristone).
This makes it possible for an abortionist in Anchorage to form a CPA with a pharmacist in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Tok – or virtually anywhere in the state, allowing for a very inexpensive expansion of the abortion business into a part of Alaska they previously could not distribute abortion pills.
The current version of HB 195 also prohibits the Department of Commerce and the Pharmacy Board from approving, regulating, or disqualifying any abortionist/pharmacist Collaborative Practice Agreement.
If enacted, HB 195 allows pharmacists to go into business with abortionists in a nearly unregulated business partnership that prescribes and dispenses abortion pills with virtually no oversight in almost any city, town, or village in Alaska.
We call on every elected official in Alaska to:
OPPOSE HB 195 / SB 147. It’s a poison pill for ALL Alaskans.
Vote DO NOT PASS or NO on HB 195 / SB 147 so long as they create or maintain a legal gateway for Pharmacists to Prescribe, Administer, OR Dispense Chemical Abortion Pills.
Defend the most vulnerable—without apology, exception, or compromise.
HB 195 / SB 147 MUST BE STOPPED.
