Message From Priests for Life

“Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, is a piece of legislation that protects children in the womb from 20 weeks of development forward.
Why 20 weeks? Because, given the fact that such babies can feel pain by that time, and that most of the public favors protecting such children from abortion, a majority of lawmakers are now ready to pass such a bill!
And in fact they have passed it in about a dozen states, and even in the US House of Representatives in the last Congress! Now, the current Congress is ready to vote on it again – this week! (NOTE: ON WEDNESDAY, SO PLEASE TAKE ACTION NOW.)

Let me say at the outset that of course, we are determined to protect every baby and stop ALL abortion. And we reach that goal step by step, by protecting now the babies that we are able to protect through legislation that we have enough support to enact. After all, they are persons, they deserve protection now, and the fact that others aren’t protected yet doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be.

I firmly believe that the “Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” is the most significant piece of pro-life legislation to be introduced so far on the federal level, and is the next chapter in our ongoing battle to end abortion.
Please make a phone call today to your Representative in Congress to urge him or her to vote for this bill. I will give you information below as to how best to do that.

The House bill is called H.R. 36, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. This bill is a nightmare for the abortion industry. Not only do they not want to see it passed, but they don’t even want it discussed. Imagine the anxiety caused to the abortion business when people start talking about the pain the child feels when her arms and legs are torn off by the abortionist who is paid to do so!

We can stop this painful dismemberment of children through this Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. As you know, our country has already prohibited on the federal level (and in many states) the particular procedure of partial-birth abortion. That, too, was a step forward.
But whereas that law stops only one method of killing these children, the Pain-Capable bill would protect those same children from any and all methods of killing!

And you can help advance this legislation with a simple phone call.
So please click here for the information http://www.priestsforlife.org/alert/alert.aspx?id=65 on how to make that phone call today, and what to say. And please forward this email to as many other people as you can!”
