Pro-Life E-mail Campaign

The U.S. bishops’ conference is augmenting its pro-life postcard campaign by launching an e-mail initiative urging to oppose abortion and retain pro-life policies.
Like the postcard campaign, the e-mail campaign is being coordinated through the USCCB’s partner organization, the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment (NCHLA).
The e-mails urge a constituent’s Senators and Representative to “please oppose FOCA or any similar measure.” If passed and signed into law, the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) would remove all local, state and federal restrictions on access to abortion.
The e-mails also request that Congress “retain existing laws against funding and promotion of abortion,” stating, “It is especially important that Congress retain these laws in the various appropriations bills, e.g., the Hyde Amendment in the Labor/Health and Human Services appropriations bill.”
Deirdre McQuade, assistant director for policy and communications at the USCCB’s Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, said in a press release announcing the e-mail campaign, “To guard against the erosion of current pro-life measures — and to keep abortion from becoming a federal entitlement — our voice is needed now more than ever.”
