ACTION
ALERT: REMOVE ABORTION AMENDMENT FROM DEFENSE BILL
Action
Requested: S. 3280 is expected to be on the Senate floor
the week of July 12. Contact members of the U.S. Senate
through e-mail, phone calls or FAX. Call the U.S. Capitol
switchboard at 202-224-3121, or call the local offices of
your Senators. Full contact information can be found at
www.senate.gov. Also make contact by meeting with Senators
when they are home for the July 4 recess.
Message:
"When the Senate debates the National Defense Authorization
Act for 2011 (S. 3454), remove the Burris amendment to 10
U.S.C. S/S1093 that authorizes performing Elective abortions
at military hospitals in this country and around the world"
Archbishop
Timothy Broglio of the Archdiocese for Military Services
wrote to all Senators on June 17, urging Congress not to
impose this tremendous burden on the consciences of Catholic
and other health care personnel who joined our armed
services to save and protect innocent life, not to destroy
it.
Cardinal
DiNardo concurred, saying ".the Department of Defense has
barred use of these facilities for elective abortions since
1988. President Clinton reversed the policy in January 1993,
but in 1995 Congress voted to restore the ban, and it has
remained intact for the last 15 years.

Interior Right to
Life is in trouble. It needs you. Yes, you.
They have so few
hands and almost no money that they are �going
dormant� for a while. This is a loss to our
community. This organization does things that
most of us take for granted are being done by
�someone�. They get pro-life info out at the
health fairs; they have an expensive Tanana
Valley Fair Booth, a Midnight Sun Festival
Booth, and organize awareness demonstrations on
key right to life days throughout the year.
They also maintain a phone line for people to
call with life issue questions.
They meet 2nd
Mondays at the Noel Wien Library at 630pm.
Please attend the June meeting if possible, just
to show your support. If you can not attend,
please consider donating either a few dollars
(or more if you have it) and your time at an
event. They need people to man the booth at the
Midnight Sun Festival in June, and the TVSF
booth in August.
Please call me to
discuss your ability to help, or with ideas.
This matters, take a minute and pray for
Interior Right to Life right now and ask God how
you can help.
Thank you for your
prayers and God Bless You,
April Smith

Urgent Action Requested: Please act
immediately! Call, email or FAX members of the Senate
Finance Committee, listed below, especially those from your
home state, asking them to SUPPORT the Hatch and Enzi
amendments regarding abortion prohibitions and conscience
protection in the health care reform bill.
Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at
202-224-3121, or call the local offices of your
Representative and Senators. Full contact information can be
found on Congressional members' websites at
www.house.gov and
www.senate.gov. Make contact as a constituent -- not as
a Catholic Daughter.
Message: In the health care reform
bill, vote for the Hatch and Enzi amendments prohibiting
abortion coverage and protecting conscience.
Background: The Senate Finance
Committee is debating health care reform this week and is
considering more than 500 amendments. Sens. Orrin Hatch
(R-UT) and Michael Enzi (R-WY) have submitted amendments to
correct flaws on abortion and conscience rights.
1. Hatch Amendment #C14: Abortion
Funding Prohibition. The bill authorizes federal tax credit
subsidies for private health benefits packages that cover
elective abortion. Everyone purchasing such a package would
be required to pay a surcharge to help pay for others'
abortions. This is contrary to longstanding federal policy,
including the Federal Employees' Health Benefits Program,
where benefits packages with elective abortion may not
receive federal support. Hatch Amendment #C14 prohibits
federal funds authorized or appropriated in the bill from
being used for abortion and the cost of plans that cover
abortion, except to save the mother's life, or in cases of
rape or incest. Insurers wanting to offer broader abortion
coverage may do so only in a supplemental policy funded
solely by the private premiums of those who choose to
purchase it.
2. Hatch Amendment #C13:
Nondiscrimination on Abortion. The bill lacks a provision in
current law that prevents government bodies receiving
federal funds from discriminating against health care
providers who decline involvement in abortion (Weldon
Amendment). Hatch Amendment #C13 states that a federal
agency or program, or state or local government receiving
federal funds under this Act, may not discriminate against
individual or institutional health care providers that
decline to perform, refer for, or pay for abortion.
Identical language has already been approved as part of the
House Energy and Commerce Committee's version of the health
care reform bill, H.R. 3200.
3. Enzi Amendment #C15: Respect for
Moral and Religious Convictions. The bill does not apply
longstanding federal policies on conscience rights in health
care to this new program. Enzi Amendment #C15 ensures that
governmental bodies receiving funds under this bill may not
discriminate against health care providers who do not
provide specific items or services to which they have a
moral or religious objection. This amendment respects
conscience and religious freedom beyond the abortion
context.
