Dear Pro-Life Leader,

 

Please call your representative in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives with this urgent message: "Please oppose House Bill 111. I don't want my right to vote for judges to be taken away."

 

House Bill 111 is a dangerous piece of legislation which would allow a pro-abortion Governor to appoint judges for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, Superior Court, and Commonwealth Court. This so-called "merit selection" system is supported by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Women's Law Project—two organizations that oppose all of our pro-life laws.

 

If you don't know who your state Representative is, or you need contact information, please visit http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/findyourlegislator/#address .

 

A vote on House Bill 111 could come next week, so it is important to contact your state representative now.

 

Thank you for your help!

 

Take care,

 

Maria V. Gallagher

Legislative Director

Tommy Tomlinson were co-sponsors of  HB 300 / SB 300, which the Pa Catholic Conference described as "intolerant and prejudiced against people of faith"
• HB 300 has evolved, if you will, into House Bill 1410.  Among its co-sponsors are Tina Davis, John Galloway, Perry Warren, Kathy Watson, and Marguerite Quinn. 
• The old Senate Bill 300 has evolved into Senate Bill 613.  Among its co-sponsors is Chuck McIlhinney.  With McIlhinney stepping down, both Santarsiero and Quinn are looking for fill his seat.

This life-altering surgery harms children and adults alike."

Pro-Life Coalition of Pennsylvania

"A strongly pro-life Pa. Governor can significantly advance pro-life public policies by

- signing or vetoing legislation;
- budget decisions; and
- selection of Administrative Officials who make enforcement decisions regarding current Pa. laws concerning Pa.'s abortion chambers.....



"Paul Mango is Much Better than Scott Wagner

"Both of these principal candidates for the Republican nomination for Pa. Governor would sign pro-life legislation and would be much better than current Pa. Gov. Tom Wolf on issues concerning the protecting the sanctity of all human life.

"However, Paul Mango is clearly and significantly a better selection for pro-life citizens in Pa....

"Please do not be deceived by Jeff Bartos' current claim to be pro-life.  He has never disavowed his lengthy support for pro-abortion Democrats and his 2015 support for Planned Parenthood Board Member, Scott Zelov, for Montgomery County Commissioner....



"Now is the Time to Assist Paul Mango's Campaign

"Pro-life citizens in Pa. have exerted a significant impact on most elections and a huge impact in Republican Primary Elections.  For this Tuesday, May 15, 2018 Primary Election, please commence making the necessary sacrifices and volunteer your time and efforts now to achieve this impact.



"How Can We Provide this Assistance?

"We can assist Paul's campaign by all the usual election campaign activities, which include



- phone calling and/or visiting frequent Republican voters in our area;
- distributing campaign literature in certain areas and/or venues;
- placing a yard sign in front of your home and/or a bumper sticker on your vehicle; and
- distributing Pro-Life Voter Guides at Sunday Masses or Services at Catholic Churches and/or pro-life Protestant Churches....." (from a 4/12/18 email)

"Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn as a haven for political and religious diversity....SB 613 would punish Pennsylvanians for their religious and moral beliefs....SB 613 was introduced as a Senate counterpart to the Fairness Act, which was reintroduced in the House as HR 1410....Just last month, the city of Philadelphia halted the placements of two Christian foster care agencies —Catholic Social Services and Bethany Christian Services— because of their religious beliefs about the nature of the family. The agencies are now under investigation for discrimination under the city’s Fair Practices Ordinance, the city’s sexual orientation and gender identity policy.....SB 613 would leave regular Pennsylvanians constantly vulnerable to be targeted by the government for their beliefs.... Pennsylvania should uphold its rich history of peace and diversity and abandon this dangerous initiative" (Daily Signal, 4/25/18).

• Pa SB 613 has co-sponsorship from Bucks County's own Chuck McIlhinney!
• PA HB 1410 has co-sponsorship from Bucks County's own Tina Davis, John Galloway, Perry Warren, Kathy Watson, and Marguerite Quinn!

Alfie Evans, RIP.  Let us pray for the consolation of his family and other loved ones.

Subject: Please Participate in Sat., Apr. 28, 2018 Protest PP Day

Dear Pro-Life Friends:

The Main Event

The attached flyer promotes participation in the National Protest Planned Parenthood (PP) Day that occurs at 12th and Locust Streets in center-city Philadelphia from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM.  A Mass occurs at St. Patrick Church at 18th and Locust Streets at 10:30 AM.

Other Protest PP events occur in our Southeast Pa. area at the following times and locations.

Northeast Philadelphia

9:00 AM to 10:00 AM at Comly Road and the Roosevelt Boulevard, Philadelphia, PA 19154

Norristown

10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon at 1221 Powell Street, Norristown, PA 19401

West Chester

11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at 8 South Wayne Street, West Chester, PA 19382

Why Participate?

The elimination of government funding for and the growth of public rejection of PP would significantly advance a Culture of Life.  However, legislative leaders in Congress and the Pa. General Assembly continue to lack the resolve to enact this defunding.

We should continue to urge them to achieve this defunding despite the intense criticism that they would receive from PP, the entire abortion industry and their media and pop culture allies.

We should also be willing to make sacrifices to oppose PP.  Participation in one of these events provide the opportunity to make such a sacrifice, as well as continuing an activity that has proven to also be temporally effective.

May God bless you!

Best wishes,

Mike McMonagle
