It just takes two minutes for you to be a pro-life advocate!

HB 818 may come up for a vote very soon and your senator needs to hear from you. Even if you’ve sent a message before, now is a critical time for this bill. Send another message today!

ATTENTION: FLEA MARKETS CANCELLED

The Saint Frances Cabrini Men’s Club has announced that, due to lack of participation, the flea markets scheduled for Saturday, May 4th, and Saturday, June 8th, have been cancelled.   As of today, there have been no requests for table reservations and, therefore, with no sellers, the flea markets are being cancelled.   We apologize for any   inconvenience.

A MESSAGE FROM The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) specifically permits states to prohibit insurance providers that participate in the exchange from covering elective abortions. House Bill 818 clearly prohibits the taxpayer supported insurance plans from covering elective abortions.

Abortion coverage has long been prohibited in Pennsylvania’s Medicaid program (except in cases of rape, incest or to avert the death of the mother). Currently no tax dollars are used for elective abortions in Pennsylvania. HB 818 guarantees that the taxpayer supported plans in the federal government’s new health insurance exchange are in line with this long-standing policy.

HB 818 passed the House today with a vote of 144 to 53. It now heads to the Senate, where a vote is expected in the coming weeks. Your senator needs to hear from you TODAY- click on the link below!

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM The National Committee for a Human Life Amendment

April 22, 2013
Dear Friend,

Thanks to all those who sent in comments opposing the Obama Administration’s latest proposed regulations on the contraceptive/abortifacient/sterilization mandate. More than 56,000 messages were sent by persons responding to the NCHLA alert!

At this time it is vital that we re-dedicate our efforts to pass the Health Care Conscience Rights Act (H.R. 940). The U.S. House of Representatives again should be urged to include H.R. 940 in upcoming “must-pass” legislation.

Please click on the link below to send a message to your Representative today!    You will also be asked to send a message to Speaker John Boehner (R-OH).

Even if you have already contacted your Representative in support of H.R. 940, it is important that Members again hear of the need to pass this legislation.

The Administration’s contraceptive/abortifacient/sterilization mandate will begin to be enforced against nonprofit religious schools, charities and health care providers on August 1. In the days to come, Congress must decide whether to address this problem through must-pass legislation before that deadline. Please act today to protect conscience rights and religious liberty!

Thanks for all you do in support of life!

Sincerely,

Michael Taylor
Executive Director
