"The first right of the human person is his life... [It
is] the
condition of all the others. Hence it must be
protected
above all others. It does not belong to
society, nor does it
belong to public authority in
any form to recognize this
right for some and not for
others. It is not recognition
by another that
constitutes this right. This right is
antecedent to
its recognition; it demands
recognition and it is
strictly unjust to refuse it."
~ Declaration on
Procured Abortion, Sacred Congregation
of the
Doctrine of the Faith, 1974, n. 11 |

Right now, Congress has a unique opportunity to
finally cut off Planned Parenthood and other big
abortion businesses from taxpayer dollars. Planned
Parenthood is responsible for about 40% of abortions in
the U.S. – almost 400,000 per year – and yet receives
$700 million per year in taxpayer funding. While the
Trump Administration recently moved to withhold some of
these funds, more remains. Most members of Congress will
be in their home states during the Easter and Passover
recess, and so it’s a great time to reach out to – or
even visit – their local offices and let them know that
taxpayer funding of the big abortion industry is
unacceptable. Please contact your members of Congress
today! Mothers and babies need real care from
life-loving providers, not Planned Parenthood.
Messages in your own words can be more effective. Please
consider customizing with your own story.
For
more, you may read a recent letter to Congress from
Bishop Thomas, chairman of the USCCB's Committee on
Pro-Life Activities, and Bishop Barron, chairman of the
Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life & Youth,
