Healthcare Bill- 2 Quick Phone Calls

It's not too late to speak up for life and conscience protection in health care reformThe U.S. House of Representatives has delayed its rule vote on the health care reform bill. It could take place this weekend. This critical decision will determine whether there will be an open vote on the floor for an amendment to the health care reform bill offered by Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) and Congressman Joe Pitts (R-PA) that would restrict abortion funding and preserve conscience rights. If a closed vote rule goes into effect, there will be no chance to amend the bill to assure that abortion restrictions apply to health care reform. It is not too late to call your Congressmen and women to urge them to first vote NO on the closed rule, then vote YES on the Pitts/Stupak amendment, or vote NO on a health care reform bill that does not include explicit restrictions on abortion funding and conscience protection.You can look up your elected official's contact information on the Pennsylvania Catholic Advocacy Network page at www.pacatholic.org.
