Arizona needs your help today

Please contact the Arizona Senate

DO NOT PASS HB 2070

Read the bill here.

Bastard Nation Arizona State Page

This horrible bill, at the last moment, has been pulled from the jaws of death and is scheduled to be heard before the Senate Rules Committee on Monday, May 24, 2021.  It will most likely pass and be sent to the Senate Floor. It has already passed the House. Help us stop passage!

Months ago, the once clean HB 2070 was gutted and corrupted. It no longer addresses the rights and needs of Arizona-born adoptees.  The bill has is now

(1) prospective-only starting in 2022

(2) specifically bars the vast majority of the state’s adoptees–those adopted between 1968-2021– from obtaining the state-held record of their births that belongs to them.

In practical terms, the law cannot be used until 2040 long after any perceived controversy that might surround passage is dead.

This monstrosity was passed in the House and the Senate Health and Human Services Committee with the cooperation of so-called “activists” in the state.–Arizona Heritage.  (See Not with a Bang; Not with a Whimper .)

For a full explanation of the issues the bill presents read the letter Bastard Nation sent to the full Senate and House on March 12, 2021. We will send an updated version of this letter tonight. The bill needs to be pulled and re-worked to cover all Arizona-born adoptees or killed.

Please contact the Senators below–especially if you are an adoptee born in Arizona or an Arizona resident– and tell them that nothing but full adoptee inclusion, without restrictions, conditions, or timelines, is acceptable. If you have an Arizona connection be sure to mention it. You might also want to contact House members and let them know how you feel about the bill and urge them to object.
