Dear Senator Savino;

After reading the text and summary for proposed Bill S6045A, I notice that
your name appears on the proposal as follows:

Introduced  by:

Sens.  STEWART-COUSINS,  ADAMS,  BRESLIN, CONNOR, DUANE,
HASSELL-THOMPSON, HUNTLEY, C. JOHNSON,  KRUEGER,  
MONTGOMERY,  PARKER, PERKINS,  SABINI,  SAVINO,  SCHNEIDERMAN,  
SERRANO,  SMITH,  STAVISKY, THOMPSON...

I would appreciate it if you can explain to me why line 36 defines
"Pregnancy" to include "implantation" ?

35    3. "Pregnancy" means the human reproductive  process,  beginning  
with
36  the implantation of a fertilized egg.

There is no doubt in my mind, that use of such a word "implantation" will
create a loop hole for unscrupulous profits seeking corporations to entice
women to become paid fetus factories. If this bill is about abortion privacy,
then the definition of "pregnancy" should be limited to human reproduction
through sexual congress, (the act of sexual procreation between a man and
a woman); and not include "implantation". Why would a woman go through
the trouble of implanting a fertilized egg only to abort the fetus if not for paid
surrogacy for stem cell research?

"A rented womb (surrogacy) may seem the perfect mechanism to relieve
one couple’s struggle with infertility, but it offers a terrible template for a
future when such biomedical breakthroughs become thoroughly exploited,
leaving motherhood and family devalued...".  My opinion is that this
devaluation is exponential when surrogacy includes "implantation of a
fertilized egg" for the purpose of abortion!

Please tell me that there is a reasonable explanation why the writers and
supporters of this proposed bill included this language.

Yours Truly,


Andrew Perretti, D.B.A.
