Help Stop FOCA
Participate in the
Postcard Campaign
The
so-called “Freedom of Choice Act” (FOCA) is the most
radically pro-abortion bill ever to emerge in Congress.
On the weekend designated by your parish, please sign
a set of 3 postcards to urge your representatives in the
U.S. House and Senate to oppose FOCA. The postcards
will be available at all Masses. Let Washington hear
your voice on behalf of the innocent unborn who have no
voice. Besides participating in the postcard campaign,
please offer your prayers for the protection of all
human life.

WHAT WOULD FOCA DO?
|
|
FOCA eliminates
regulations that
protect women from unsafe abortion clinics
|
 |
|
FOCA forces
taxpayers to fund
abortions |
|
FOCA requires
all states to
allow “partial birth” and other late-term
abortions |
|
FOCA subjects
women to
abortions by non-physicians |
|
FOCA violates
the conscience
rights of nurses, doctors, and hospitals
|
|
FOCA strips
parents of their
right to be involved in their minor daughters’
abortion decision |
Pro-abortion groups and
their allies in Congress are promoting FOCA. If this
extreme measure is enacted, widely supported and
constitutionally sound abortion regulations will be
knocked down nationwide.
FOCA would impose upon the
entire country an abortion regime far worse than
anything brought on by Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court
decision that legalized abortion. And the current level
of 1.1 million abortions a year will go up, not down.
The Catholic bishops of
the United States have unanimously called us to prayer
and action to prevent this radical bill’s passage and to
oppose other attempts to overturn existing pro-life laws
and policies. This year, our voices—and our prayers—are
needed more than ever.
