I sent a letter to my representatives in congress urging them to prevent H.R. 1964 FOCA (the freedom of choice act) from passing and I got a response. FOCA would essentially make abortion legal all 9 months for any reason, give even MORE federal funding to abortion providers, undo any pro-life legislation such as parental notification for minors, and it would force any Catholic hospitals to perform abortions or they won't receive any funding. (AT the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, it was decided that we should just shut down the close to 600 hospitals instead of forcing the doctors to murder, but who knows if that is significant enough a threat to make Obama think twice about imposing his murderous policies.)
Anyway, Congressman Robert Wittman wrote us and even if it's a form letter, I really appreciate it. He says he also believes in upholding the sanctity of life and will work to protect the unborn, should the legislation (which didn't even get to the House of Representatives last December) be revived, which it will, according to Obama.
It was a nice letter and even left a number and website to contact him at, if he can "ever be of assistance to [me] or [my] family."
Well isn't that special!?
This has encouraged me to write congress more often. I hope you guys do too! Find out who your congressman is and write him about your concerns and see what you get back!
