The Freedom of Choice Act is much more than an issue of Pro-Choice vs Pro-life. You can be pro-choice and still be against this act. It proposes to make abortion a fundamental right. Which means among other things that you as tax payers would be forced to pay for abortions… it would allow partial birth abortions and abortions after the first trimester … it would force medical facilities and staff to perform abortions even faith bases hospitals such as the one we have in La Crosse….it would take away all laws requiring a waiting period before abortion so that women can take time to think about the decision and get educated… And it would allow under age girls to have abortions with no parental consent… Can you imagine a 15,16, or even 17 year old girl who gets pregnant… which do you think she’d rather.. Tell her parents she got pregnant and deal with the consequences.. or go to someone who would make it go a way… for free… without anyone knowing …the very same day she found out???In the year 2000 there were 3,600 abortions per day…that’s 150per hour.. 2.5per minute… 1 every 24 seconds….1% of all abortions occured because of rape or incest; 6% because of potential health problems to mom or baby & 93% because of social reasons (unwanted or inconvenient). In just one year, more children die from abortions than died in the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World wars I & II, the Korean, Vietnam & Gulf Wars COMBINED! Think what passing this FOCA would do to these stats..Hopefully we can blow our congressmen away with the number of postcards they get.. but even then our job is not done. If the FOCA does not go through they will keep coming with more legislation that we need to keep fighting.. so stay informed.. send more than one letter & sign more than one petition… and don’t underestimate the power of prayer.Lord and giver of all life, help us to value each person, created in love by you. In your mercy, guide and assist our efforts to promote the dignity and value of all life, born and unborn. We ask this through Christ our Lord.. Amen.
