FOCA Post Card Campaign
A bill in Congress called the "Freedom of Choice
Act," or FOCA represents the most serious legislative threat to unborn
children ever. FOCA would create a "fundamental right" to abortion that
government could not limit but would be required to fund and support. It
would overturn a broad range of pro-life policies currently allowed
under the Supreme court's Roe v. Wade abortion decision: laws
protecting parental involvement in an underage daughter's abortion
decision, laws upholding conscience rights, limits on abortion funding,
bans on partial-birth abortion, and so on. FOCA itself may become law,
or the harmful policies it represents may become law one step at a time.
In either case, we must oppose FOCA and all that it stands for.
During the weekend of January 24th & 25th, parishioners have an
opportunity to sign and send postcards to their US Representative and
two US Senators. The message on the cards urges our federal elected
officials to oppose FOCA and to retain existing laws against government
funding and promotion of abortion.
Thank you for making your voice heard on this important matter.
