Advocacy Needed on Life and Family Issues

faithfulinthe8th.blogspot.com/


  • Call your [Pa State] Senator to oppose assisted suicide (Pa Pro Life Federation, 4/2/19)
  • NJ Governor Phil Murphy signed assisted suicide into NJ law. To express your outrage, Murphy can be reached at 609-292-6000 or https://www.state.nj.us/governor/contact."

 
  • 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!
  • Contact your senators and representative today and urge them to oppose the [so-called] Equality Act! (USCCB)
      • 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!
        • "If the [so-called] Equality Act reaches a full vote in either chamber of Congress, it will mark the first time the bill — which has been introduced in various forms since 1974 — has done so. 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).  
      • In the U.S. House, Brian Fitzpatrick is one of three Republican co-sponsors of the so-called Equality Act (H.R. 5).  
    • Contact your U.S. senators and representatives today and ask them to support the LIFT for Charities Act! (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)
