Admitting Privileges
As
per the Pa Pro Life Coalition, HB 1762 “requires abortionists to have
admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the facility where
they are committing abortions….If your State House member is pro-life,
please write to him or her with a request to co-sponsor H.B.
1762….Please write Rep. Ron Marsico, the Chairman of the Pa. House
Judiciary Committee, and ask him to run H.B. 1762, as soon as reasonably
possible….Please write Rep. Mike Turzai, the Pa. House Majority Leader,
and ask him to run H.B. 1762, as soon as reasonably possible….Pa.
Senator Stewart Greenleaf, the Chairman of the Pa. Senate Judiciary
Committee, indicated that he is open to running H.B. 1762 in this
Committee, which has a pro-life majority." Kudos to Bucks County's Rep
Paul Clymer, who joined in introducing this legislation! (Note: In
addition to Clymer, Bucks County's Rep John Galloway was among those who
introduced the comparable H.B. 1314 in the 2011-2012 term.). Chloe's Law
The Pa Family Inst is asking that we contact our state legislators, in an effort to battle against the silent genocide of pre-born children with Down Syndrome: http://tinyurl.com/HelpChloe.HB 587 Update
HB 587 is now with the Senate judiciary committee, of which Bucks/Montgomery Counties' Senator Stewart Greenleaf is chair. Please urge Greenleaf (sgreenleaf@pasen.gov) to move forward with this legislation, so that it can ultimately receive a favorable vote by the full senate and a signature by the governor.Ultrasound Legislation
"There are about a dozen states that require that ultrasound images be offered to women seeking abortions, before the procedure is performed. Here in Pennsylvania, we do not currently have such a requirement. Here, an ultrasound bill was introduced last session by Rep. Kathy Rapp, R-Warren, and other key members of the House pro-life caucus and quickly gained more than 100 co-sponsors. But the abortion lobby and its allies on the political left – many even from out-of-state – went on the attack and intimidated otherwise well-meaning legislators from moving ahead, for now" (Pennsylvania: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words, Citizen Link, 12/19/13).
Though they identify themselves as "pro life", our legislators in Washington evidence minimal leadership with regard to pro-life/pro-family issues. Some of their sponsorships/co-sponsorships seem absolutely trivial (AT BEST!), when compared with pro-life/pro-family issues. For example,
- Casey is the lone sponsor of S.704: Rachel Carson Nature Trail Designation Act of 2013;
- Fitzpatrick is the lead sponsor of H.R.2856, the Captive Primate Safety Act.
- Toomey is the lead sponsor of S.AMDT.2707 to S.1926, To adjust phase-ins of flood insurance rate increases.
Please copy/paste the following into a message for Senator Casey, Senator Toomey, and Congressman Fitzpatrick (https://www.votervoice.net/NCHLA/Campaigns/30688/Respond):
"It is deeply troubling that
Senators Casey and Toomey voted for S 815, which the USCCB says "could be used to punish as discrimination what the Catholic
Church teaches." We need Mike Fitzpatrick to OPPOSE the
house version, HR 1755.
"In the interest of basic human dignity
- particularly the welfare of children - please CO-SPONSOR/ SUPPORT HR 3279/S1848 (the Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act), HR732/S32/S369 (the Child
Interstate Abortion Notification Act), HJRes51 (an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States relating to marriage), HR940/S1204 (the Health
Care Conscience Rights Act), HR3133/S1808 (the Marriage and Religious
Freedom Act), HR7/S946 (the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act), HR1797/S1670/S 886 (the Pain
Capable Unborn Child Protection Act), HR 3829/S2024 (the State Marriage Defense Act), and HR301/S653 (To provide for the
establishment of the Special Envoy to Promote Religious Freedom of Religious
Minorities in the Near East and South Central Asia).
"Please work to de-fund Planned
Parenthood and to achieve what the USCCB has called 'compassionate immigration reform.'"
Sign the petition, in support of Hobby Lobby:
"I support the right of Hobby Lobby and other companies, schools, and organizations to not be forced to comply with the HHS mandate.
"No company, school or organization should be forced to pay for birth control or abortion-causing drugs for their employees.
"Therefore, I urge the Supreme Court to declare the HHS mandate unconstitutional and protect Hobby Lobby's conscience rights and religious freedoms."
