But efforts to bring the bill to a vote in the House are being blocked. Your action is needed to urge your Representative to sign a discharge petition that would allow this vote to occur. 

Some states have passed laws to expand abortion and to repeal laws providing specific protections for babies born alive after surviving an attempted abortion. The Born-Alive Act would provide these specific protections nationwide to help prevent newborns from being killed or left alone to die. 

We must continue to push Congress to pass the Born-Alive Act, so babies born alive following an abortion attempt are treated the same as any other newborn baby.  PLEASE ACT TODAY!!!

From NJ Right To Life: 
It's working!  Our voices are being heard.  Please read the article below which reflects the
current reluctance by NJ legislators to pass S3030/A4848, the radical
Reproductive Freedom Act during an election year.  

However, this is no time to be complacent.  We must keep up the pressure
with the phone calls, emails and protests and other advocacy tools at our disposal.
 We will be closely monitoring the situation and keep you informed
of any new events or developments.

Please visit njrtl.org for more information and continue contacting your
legislators to oppose S3030/A4848.  Below is a link you can use to send
a prewritten email to your legislators.

Tell your Senators to oppose the Equality Act:  Click here!

Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. The Equality Act, which has now passed the U.S. House of Representatives and is being actively considered in the Senate, in many ways does the opposite and needs to be opposed. Instead of respecting differences in beliefs about marriage and sexuality, the Equality Act would discriminate against people of faith. The Equality Act would: punish faith-based organizations, such as charities and schools who serve everyone in their communities, simply because of their beliefs; force girls and women to compete against boys and men for limited opportunities in sports, and to share locker rooms and shower spaces with biological males who identify as women; risk mandating taxpayers to fund abortions; force people in everyday life, and especially health care workers, to support gender transition; and expand what the government considers a “public” place, forcing even some parish halls to host functions that conflict with Catholic beliefs.


 

Catholic teaching, and recent popes, speak very clearly and strongly about the equality of men and women based upon their equal dignity as children of God. And, although many advances were made for women’s equality in the years immediately following passage of the amendment, the Church recognizes the need to do more to address unjust inequities between women and men. However, the ERA in its current form poses very serious problems, including likely requiring federal funding for abortions, overturning pro-life and conscience protection laws, and even undermining government programs designed to promote women’s advancement in education and the workplace. More information about the ERA and its consequences is presented in this fact sheet.

Because of these serious problems, the Bishops are urging members to oppose the ERA in its current form, and to vote “no” on H.J.Res.17. Please join the bishops and contact your member today!
