Harrisburg


The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference indicates support for HB 587, SB 75, and HB 2111 / SB 1339.  The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference is opposed to HB 162 and HB 300 / SB 300.  The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference supports marriage and is opposed to its re-definition (Click to Email Gov Corbett, Lt Gov Cawley and all of Bucks County's representatives and senators in Harrisburg on these matters.).

Email Gov. Corbett and all of Bucks County's representatives and senators in Harrisburg, asking that they oppose SB 872 and HB 1848.
  • Oppose SB 872: ''the American College of Pediatricians and the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality insist that adolescents retain their right to choose SOCE [sexual orientation change efforts] with full informed consent under the care of experts in the field'' (Adolescents, Therapeutic Choice and Scientific Integrity, American College of Pediatricians, 2/13/14).

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.
