How Pro Life and Pro Marriage/Family Legislation Championed by the Pa Catholic Conference is Faring Among Those Who Represent Bucks County in Harrisburg:

The Bucks County Delegation in Harrisburg			As per the Pa Catholic Confer ence, “Please respect the concerns of all parties involved in adoption proceedings and vote no on HB 162 in its current form.”	As per the Pa Catholic Confer ence, "Ask your legislator to include the language of House Bill 1623 in the Fiscal Code.”	As per the Pa Catholic Confer ence, “I am quite concerned that HB 1510/ SB 974 will run afoul of religious freedom and expose even more… to discrimination. Please oppose the bill in its current form.”	As per the Pa Catholic Confer ence, “Please represent me by voting yes on House Bill 1948.” (i.e., Senator Michele Brooks is expected to introduce the Senate version.)	As per the Pa Catholic Conference, HB 1947 “would retroactively nullify the statute of limitations for filing a civil lawsuit alleging childhood sexual abuse....but it would not apply to public schools or government agencies....a legislative remedy must protect all children, not simply penalize some institutions” (i.e., Vote NO on HB 1947).
