As per the Pa Catholic Conference and/or the Archdiocese,
- Support "Supportive, Comprehensive End of
Life Care" [i.e., Oppose
"doctor-prescribed suicide." While the battle rages over assisted suicide, many forget that in 1990, the United States Supreme Court allowed euthanasia
by dehydration and starvation. First, by declaring
artificially-administered food and water (ANH) as a form of 'life support' and then, granting third parties the ability to remove ANH
(feeding tubes) from persons with disabilities, it became effectively legal to deny a human being food and water against their will in the
United States....Anyone requiring only a feeding tube is not brain dead, but often brain injured....Even fully-conscious people may require tube feeding" (Dr. Jacqueline C. Harvey)]
- Oppose the death penalty; thank the governor for the death penalty moratorium.): http://www.votervoice.net/groups/pacc/Advocacy/?SiteID=-1&IssueID=29560
- Oppose HB 300 / SB 300 (As the Pa Catholic Conference explains, “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."): https://www.votervoice.net/PACC/Campaigns/33451/Respond
- Oppose the nomination of Pedro Cortes:
"Please call and email your state Senators with this message, 'I
urge you to vote against the appointment of Pedro Cortes to serve as
Pennsylvania Secretary of State. He failed to stop abortionist Kermit
Gosnell by failing to shut down his dangerous abortion operation.'"

"The Pennsylvania Family Institute
publishes a voter guide that touches on many issues that are also
important to Catholics. But the most effective way to research is to
contact the candidates themselves. Most local and judicial candidates
have their own websites or social media sites which proudly list the
endorsements they received" (Judicial & Local Elections Just Days Away!Judicial and Local Elections Just Days Away!, 5/13/15). Click for the Pa Family.Org's 2015 Judicial Primary Voter’s Guide: http://pafamily.org/2015/05/primary2015guide/

pro-life issues can also be found through our partner organization, the National
Committee for the Human Life Amendment" and "Action alerts for
issues related to immigration reform can be found through the USCCB-led

As per the Pennsylvania Family Institute,
"Planned Parenthood is a business, and their business is abortion. Of the ten facilities with the highest annual abortions performed in Pennsylvania, Planned Parenthood runs eight of them (Source: Dept. of Health - Abortion: Quarterly Facilities Report). Over half of all abortions performed in our Commonwealth are by Planned Parenthood. And in 2013, their revenue was $35.8 million while receiving over $7 million in taxpayer funding.
"Pennsylvania tax dollars can better serve our communities by not being provided to Planned Parenthood or any other abortion business. There are other qualified health centers in Pennsylvania that provide proper care for women, and that are not motivated by the business of abortion.
"TAKE ACTION - Tell Your State Lawmakers: 'Stop Paying Planned Parenthood!'"
