AMERICAN LIFE LEAGUE ISSUES STATEMENT ON USCCB DIRECTIVE AGAINST OBAMA’S DEATH-CARE PROGRAM

American Life League’s Judie Brown, a member of the Pontifical Academy for Life, issued the following statement on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ national campaign mobilizing every parish to oppose abortion in health care reform and demand conscience protections for health care workers. “We applaud the USCCB’s unprecedented action in its national campaign to mobilize parishes against the current versions of the health care bill. It has taken an important first step in activating Catholics to take back our health care system and our country from the radical pro-aborts in the legislature and sometimes even in the pulpits. We proudly stand with the USCCB in its statement: “Health care reform should be about saving lives, not destroying them.”
