"at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy"

As per CNSNews, "The 2,009 page fiscal 2016 spending deal...does not prohibit funding of Planned Parenthood, according to the House Appropriations Committee."  As per a 12/17/15 email from the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment (an affiliate agency of the USCCB), "while the Abortion Non-Discrimination Act (ANDA) came very close to the finish line, it was not included in Congress's end-of-year funding legislation....I anticipate sending more news to you shortly on how we might follow up with our elected officials about their epic failure."

I struggle to understand how  officials who consider themselves "pro life" could vote for the Omnibus when it funded Planned Parenthood and was purged of ANDA.  Of the 20 members of the Pennsylvania Congressional delegation, only 8 opposed the Omnibus (Kudos to Representatives Kelly, Perry, Meehan, Shuster, Marino, Barletta, and Rothfus, as well as to Senator Toomey.):




While the world relentlessly tries to tell us otherwise, Christ and His Church tell us that human life and marriage/family are of inestimable value!"
  
Federal Level

Pro-Life




As per the USCCB, "Action alerts for pro-life issues can also be found through our partner organization, the National Committee for the Human Life Amendment."  The NCHLA's "Current Action Alerts" include the following:

Marriage and Family


 
Come 2016, our voices in defense of human life and marriage/family need to be MUCH better heard!
