We need HR 1179 immediately, because “pregnancy is not a disease, & children are not a ‘health problem’"

Dear Monsignors & Fathers,

As per Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, chair of the USCCB's pro life committee,



  • "The Administration’s failure to create a meaningful conscience exemption to the preventive services mandate underscores the need for Congress to approve the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act....That bill (H.R. 1179)...would prevent mandates under the new health reform law from undermining rights of conscience....HHS says the intent of its 'preventive services' mandate is to help 'stop health problems before they start,'....But pregnancy is not a disease, and children are not a 'health problem' – they are the next generation of Americans.'

Please alert your parishioners to the "We need HR 1179 immediately, because “pregnancy is not a disease, & children are not a ‘health problem’" petition, which will go to Health & Human Services, Congress, & the President. Please also consider adding your own name to this petition.

Thank you.
