• Oppose the so-called Protect Women's Health from Corporate Interference Act (S2578)
• Support the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (S 946)
• Support the Abortion Non-Discrimination Act 
• Support the Support the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (HR 36)
• Support "just and compassionate immigration reform"  (Tell Pres. Obama to Oppose use of "family detention."  Ask Fitzpatrick to Support “a path to citizenship and to oppose repealing or undoing laws that protect vulnerable children, families and refugees.”)
• Support the State Marriage Defense Act of 2015 (HR 824, S 435) – In light of Archbishop Cordileone strong letters of support to the House and Senate, it is anticipated that there will soon be an alert for HR 824/ S 435).  In the meantime, we must remind Fitz, Casey, and Toomey that their  co-sponsorship / support is imperative!

On a state level, the Pa Catholic Conference facilitates requests for our leaders in Harrisburg, to.... 

• Support equal education funding
• Oppose the death penalty (Thank the governor for the death penalty moratorium.)
• Oppose HB 300 / SB 300 (“In other states, this law has shuttered Catholic adoption agencies and trampled religious liberty….Simply put, this legislation is intolerant and prejudiced against people of faith" (Pa Catholic Conference, 10/3/13.
  

  As per the Pennsylvania Family Institute, "if we don’t see the persecution happening across this country and if Pennsylvania families sit idle, out state government is going to force us to conform our beliefs or face the consequences")
