URGENT ACTION ALERT, Oppose HR 2410

On Tuesday's post I asked you to call. Now there is a very simple link you can e-mail your congressmen regarding this very important matter. Please waste no time & contact them today.

Ask Your Representative to Oppose HR 2410

The U.S. House is beginning to debate HR 2410, the Foreign Relations Reauthorization Act, which would dramatically expand the ability of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to promote abortion in foreign countries and undermine pro-life laws around the world.

Section 334 establishes a new “Office for Global Women’s Issues” headed by an ambassador-at-large in the Office of the Secretary of State. This legislation directs that this office coordinate and support efforts regarding “women’s empowerment” around the world.

On April 22, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified before the Foreign Affairs Committee that this administration “will protect the rights of women, including their rights to reproductive health care” including access to abortion.

Congressman Chris Smith offered an amendment to prevent this new office from promoting abortion around the world, but that amendment is not being allowed to come up for a vote.



Please contact your Representative today and ask that they vote against HR 2410.

OPPOSE CONTRACEPTION MANDATES IN THE STATE BUDGET

Help defend Catholic institutions and religious liberty!

Tell your legislators you oppose new contraceptive mandates in the state budget.

BACKGROUND

The current state biennial budget bill, Assembly Bill 75, was recently amended to include a provision that would mandate that pharmacies, including Catholic pharmacies, have a duty to dispense prescribed contraceptive drugs or devices to a patient without delay.

The state budget bill now also includes a provision that would require many entities, including Catholic institutions, to offer contraceptive coverage as part of their employee health insurance policy. This provision would require health plans purchased by Catholic dioceses and agencies to provide coverage for prescribed contraceptives, and the outpatient services necessary to administer those items.

ACTION REQUESTED

Write or call your legislators now!

Make the following points about these two provisions:

Oppose the Mandate for Health Insurance Policies to Cover Contraceptive Services

- As drafted, the budget would compel Catholic institutions to purchase health care plans that would help pay for contraceptives, including those contraceptives that have an abortifacient effect. This is in direct opposition to the religious identity and values of Catholic institutions.

-As Catholics, we do not believe people of faith should have to choose between their beliefs and their desire to be generous employers.

- Most health care plans in that state already cover contraceptives. This provision unfairly targets those religious and other charitable organizations that provide services to their community based on a mission of faith.

Oppose the Pharmacy "Duty to Dispense" Requirement for Contraceptives

- Catholic pharmacies do not dispense prescriptions for the purpose of birth control.

- At the same time, Catholic providers do stock and dispense hormonal contraceptives because this medication is prescribed for non-contraceptive reasons to manage other medical conditions.

- In Wisconsin, a nurse can also dispense contraception in a clinical setting. Therefore, those who wish to gain access to contraceptives need not rely upon religious providers for access to those medications.

State statute should not compel religious institutions to engage in activities contrary to their faith. These provisions will have little effect on the average person's ability to access contraception in Wisconsin. However, these provisions pose a significant threat to religious liberty and will have the effect of forcing some citizens to act contrary to their religious beliefs.

Call today! Urge a "NO VOTE" on H.R. 2410 bill

Dear pro-life friends,

This is an urgent congressional alert from National Right to Life (NRLC) in Washington, D.C.

On Wednesday, June 10, or Thursday, June 11, the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to take up H.R. 2410, a bill that would create a new "Office for Global Women's Issues" in the State Department. In congressional testimony on April 22, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a strong pro-abortion advocate, left no doubt that this new sub-agency would be involved in seeking to legalize abortion on demand in foreign countries. Clinton said that the Obama Administration is "entitled to advocate [legal abortion] . . . anywhere in the world," and that the Adminstration believes "reproductive health includes access to abortion."

Please take a few minutes to urge your representative to oppose this bill. We make it easy for you -- just go to the NRLC website's "Legislative Action Center," here http://www.capwiz.com/nrlc/callalert/index.tt?alertid=13498196&type=CO. Then, enter your zip code into the "Call Now" box. You will then be shown the name and phone number of your representative in the U.S. House, along with suggestions on what you should say when you call the representative's staff in Washington to oppose the bill.

We also provide an easy-to-use form that allows you to send us a quick e-mail report on how your conversation went.

For more information on H.R. 2410, read the letter sent by NRLC to members of the U.S. House of Representatives, here http://www.nrlc.org/ObamaAbortionAgenda/StateDepartmentHouseFloor.html .

Kansas Late-Term Abortionist George Tiller Shot and Killed

Breaking news on Sunday told of horible news. A man was shot and killed in his church, most likely because of his profession and actions as a late-term abortionist. But anyone who is pro-life should be outraged at this crime against life. No matter what anyones age, race, status, profession or actions it is not our right as humans beings to choose who should live & who should die. Two wrongs do NOT make a right!

Please join me in praying for George Tiller & his family and friends. I'm sure he will be missed by many.
