By Hawaii Family Forum @ 9:01 PM :: 6917 Views :: Ethics, First Amendment, Health Care

Hawaii Family Forum: Religious Freedom takes a Beating in Legislature
By Hawaii Family Forum @ 12:31 PM :: 7905 Views :: Energy, Environment
|
...we noticed a very strong change in the legislature this year towards religious entities. Comments directed at Hawaii Family Forum, and other religious organizations, were negative. Pro‐family supporters walked away from several hearings disheartened at the way legislators allowed, and in some cases perpetuated, back‐ended derogatory comments about religious institutions. We have never before seen this type of discrimination at the capitol....

Hawaii Family Forum wins vs Suicide, Gambling—Healthcare Right of Conscience still pending
By Hawaii Family Forum @ 12:04 AM :: 5773 Views :: Energy, Environment
|
The Senate had rejected requests for a "healthcare right of conscience" exception for SB 218 (Emergency Contraceptive) and passed the bill 22 to 3. We are grateful to Senators Gabbard, Kochi and Slom for standing courageously to oppose SB218. The bill has been referred to the House Health and Judiciary Committee for hearing.

How They Voted: Civil Unions passes House 31-19
By Hawaii Family Forum @ 9:59 PM :: 6249 Views :: Energy, Environment
|
Today, SB 232 HD1, Relating to Civil Unions, passed the House by a vote of 31-19 (with one excused - Rep. Cabanilla). That means that the bill will now go back to the Senate for reconsideration. It is expected that the Senate may accept the changes made by the House Judiciary. If that happens, the bill could end up on Governor Abercrombie’s desk for signature as early as next week. The Governor has publicly stated he would sign the bill.

SB 232 Civil Unions to be voted in House Friday
By Hawaii Family Forum @ 7:00 PM :: 6115 Views :: Energy, Environment
|
If SB 232 SD1 HD1 (civil unions) passes the House, it will then go over to the Senate and they will have to agree to the changes. If they do not agree, the bill will go to a conference committee with members from both chambers so they can work out their differences. What you may not know, is only members who VOTED IN SUPPORT SB 232 can be appointed to the conference committee. In conference committee, no input from the public is accepted.
If the Senate agrees to the amendments, the bill could go straight to the Governor who has publicly stated he would sign the bill.
