[image: lwv msn logo.png] S*B 352* https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Status/bills_history.cfm?INPUT=352&year=2024&sessiontype=RS modifies the West Virginia abortion ban. Prior to a legal, medically necessary abortion, this bill mandates specific elements of informed consent, including information about medical risks and alternative care options. Physicians have expressed concern that this bill will introduce scientifically inaccurate information into the informed consent process.

*SB 841 https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Status/bills_history.cfm?INPUT=841&year=2024&sessiontype=RS *changes the structure of unemployment benefits in the state. It reduces the duration for unemployment benefits at the same time when two major employers in West Virginia with hundreds of employees are shutting down.

*Both bills have passed the Senate, so please contact your member of the House Delegates https://wvecouncil.org/wv-legislature/house/ to vote NO on SB 352 and SB 841.*
