URGENT PRO-LIFE ALERT!!! - ABORTION MANDATE IN HEALTH BILL

The healthcare reform legislation currently before Congress contains an abortion mandate that is a grave threat to human life. The bill's language will result in federally mandated abortion coverage by nearly all health plans, recruitment of abortion doctors into local health networks, and the nullification of many state laws that place reasonable limits on abortion.

The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) has called this legislation the "largest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade."

We urge you to write to your senators and congressman today. Click here where you can learn more about the health legislation and send a message to your two senators and congressman.

To read a letter from 19 House Democrats who insist they will not support a health bill unless it explicitly excludes abortion, click here.

Time is of the essence as congressional leaders want to pass the bill in the Senate and House by the end of July.

A coalition of prominent pro-life leaders have arranged a Stop The Abortion Mandate live webcast for the public this Thursday, July 23rd, 2009, at 9 PM Eastern (8PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific).

In solidarity with our Holy Father

Pope Benedict XVI is the spiritual leader of more than a billion Catholics around the world. As the Vicar of Christ, he guides the Church with courage and fortitude, seeking always to build a civilization of love.
As the Holy Father recovers from injury, people of good will join in praying for his return to full health as well as for his spiritual and temporal welfare.
For more than 127 years, Knights of Columbus have been faithfully united to the Church, the pope, and the bishops and priests in union with him.
