  • Rosary of Reparation in response to an inappropriate event at the Warminster Public Library (6/1/19, 1pm, 1076 Emma Lane)
  • Fwd: FW: Action Needed – AMA Vote on Assisted Suicide (Pa Pro Life)
  • "The foundations for legalizing abortion in America were laid during the early 20th-century birth-control movement. That movement developed alongside the American eugenics movement. And significantly, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger recognized the eugenic potential of her cause" (Justice Clarence Thomas, 5/28/19)
  • "Heterosexual marriage is, as G.J. McAleer expresses the point, 'inescapably a call to participate in creation, to render the service of being deposed to the beginning of another person’s existence'....[The child is] the supreme gift of marriage and contributes immensely to the good of the parents themselves since their fulfilment in Christ is cultivated and perfected by sacrifice.... Dr. Gerard J.M. van den Aardweg...maintains that 'The less demanding, softer ways of the post-war Church partly explain why relatively many homosexually inclined and otherwise-less-masculine personality types felt attracted to the priesthood and religious life'....It is reasonable to posit some kind of connection between the homosexualization of the priesthood and the failure with respect to the communication of the Church’s teaching on a range of moral issues" (Rev Kevin O'Reilly, O.P., 5/17/19).
 
  • "stand against legislation, like Medicare for All and the Equality Act, that force tax-payers to pay for other people’s abortions and that strong arms medical professionals to violate their consciences" (March for Life Action).
  • Contact your senators and representative today and urge them to oppose the [so-called] Equality Act! (USCCB)
    • UPDATE: "We are gravely disappointed with the Act’s passage in the U.S. House” (USCCB, 5/17/19).  Republican co-sponsor Brian Fitzpatrick joined Pa Democrats Boyle, Dean, Evans, Scanlon, Houlahan, Wild, Cartwright, Lamb and Doyle in the 236 to 173 betrayal - a vote against pre born children, religious freedom, and parental rights.
    • In the U.S. Senate, Robert Casey is a cosponsor of the so-called Equality Act (S.788), as are Booker and Menendez from New Jersey!
      • "A similar bill, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, or ENDA, passed the Senate in 2013. Four currently serving Republican senators voted in favor of that bill: Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Patrick Toomey, R-Pa." (NBCNews, 3/11/19).  
  • Support the Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act (USCCB)

      While Pennsylvania should be proud that Rep Mike Kelly is the primary sponsor of the Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act in the House (HR 897), only two fellow Pennsylvanians (i.e., Schmucker and Reschenthaler) and one New Jersey representative (i.e., Smith) are joining him! No one from Pa or Jersey is a co-sponsor of S 274 in the Senate!   

  • Trump Moves to Protect Conscience Rights of Health Care Workers (Family Policy Alliance, 5/2/19)
    • "Ultimately Congress needs to pass permanent laws protecting the conscience claims that are now secured by presidential initiatives or by statutes on a year-by-year basis" (Public Discourse, 5/30/18)
      Tell Your Representative to protect conscience rights and to fight against taxpayer-funded abortion [i.e. OPPOSE Medicare for All] (March for Life Action

    • Born-Alive Legislation Deserves a Vote in the People's House (USCCB) (HLA)
        • Further Action Needed to Save Babies Born Alive! (USCCB)
    • "Senator Lindsay Graham...[has] introduced the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, a nationwide ban on abortion after 20 weeks....Senator Graham has introduced this bill or one similar every year since 2013. Although it has never received the 60 votes necessary for cloture, there is some hope that if enacted, it could now be upheld in an inevitable legal challenge due to the majority conservative Supreme Court (Live Action News, 4/11/19).
      • I Cherish Life: I call on Congress to ban late term abortions when babies feel pain!(Family Policy Alliance)
    • Tell the Senate to Reject Religion Tests for Judicial Nominees (USCCB)
    • Ask the Department of Homeland Security to Rescind the "Remain in Mexico" Policy and Support Asylum Seekers by Following Existing Law (USCCB)  
    • Stop Taxpayer Funding of Abortion (Click for Pa Pro Life Federation petition)

    • Call your [Pa State] Senator to oppose assisted suicide (Pa Pro Life Federation, 4/2/19)
