- In addition, "Three chairmen of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
(USCCB) gave their strong support for the Child Welfare Provider
Inclusion Act of 2014....the chairmen noted that 'the
Act would prohibit federal and state officials in the administration of
federally funded child welfare services from excluding child welfare
providers simply because of the providers’ religious beliefs or moral
convictions'....The
chairmen encouraged the colleagues of Rep. Kelly and Sen. Enzi to join
as cosponsors of the Inclusion Act" (USCCB, 7/31/14). You can click here to ask your U.S. representative and senators to co-sponsor.
- On a federal level, it should be noted that there are concerns about the United Nations' so-called Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) treaty: "Several pro-life groups are on record opposing the treaty, including
Eagle Forum, Family Research Council Action, CitizenLink, Concerned
Women for America, Liberty Counsel, and others....The inclusion of the phrase 'reproductive health' affords an
opportunity for abortion advocates to interpret the terms as a euphemism
for 'abortion rights' and push for nations to legalize abortion based
on the treaty....the
pro-abortion faction within the UN has used the realm of disability
rights to provide cover for an attempt to interject the right to
abortion into an international treaty....Americans United for Life
urges all pro-life supporters to contact their United States Senators
and ask them to oppose the United Nations Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities" (Catholic News Live).
