Joliet Diocesan Life Office Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 3:15:23 PMSubject: ACTION ALERT: HB 2354 Out of Committee (State FOCA)
Hello all:
House Bill 2354 (state FOCA) passed the House Human Services Committee this morning. The bill will now head to the House floor for the consideration of the entire body.
Quick action is very important! We need everyone to call their state representative and ask him or her to vote no. Please get those phone and email trees going!
The message should be as follows:
House Bill 2354 seeks to:
make abortion a fundamental right, preventing any common-sense regulation such as parental notification;
expand public funding of abortion through Medicaid and possibly state health insurance plans;
undermine the Illinois Health Care Right of Conscience Act protecting health care professionals and employers; and,
mandate comprehensive sex education for all children in public schools.
The bill is extreme and a radical change from current law. Please vote NO.
If you do not know your state representative, visit the Illinois General Assembly's web site at https://66.99.38.136/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.ilga.gov/ find the Legislator Lookup link at the bottom-right of the web page and when prompted enter your address and zip code. The name of your state representative and his or her contact information should come up. If you have any problems, please call our office at 312-368-1066 for assistance.
