USCCB Encourages Action on Health Care Reform

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is encouraging the faithful to speak up about Health Care Reform and the issue of the sanctity of all human life. The Bishops have issued a nationwide bulletin insert, available on their website here.

In this insert, they state,
"Congress is preparing to debate health care reform legislation on the House and Senate floors. Genuine health care reform should protect the life and dignity of all people from the moment of conception until natural death. The U.S. bishops’ conference has concluded that all committee approved bills are seriously deficient on the issues of abortion and conscience, and do not provide adequate access to health care for immigrants and the poor. The bills will have to change or the bishops have pledged to oppose them."

The website linked above also has an easy way for you to email your representatives and senators to let them know that you stand with the Bishops and the Church on these issues. DO THIS! Our Congressional representatives need to know that there are many people who care about life!
