TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT THE FREEDOM
OF CONSCIENCE OF ALL AMERICANS!
Listen to the replay of our powerful webcast on this issue.
Webcast panelists included
Congressman Chris Smith and experts from National Right to Life
Dear Pro-life Brothers and Sisters,
As you know, the Obama Administration has insulted believers and pro-life
people yet again, by ignoring our rights of conscience and insisting that
employers will have to cover abortifacients in health insurance plans for
their employees. I have written about this, and our response to it, in my
column
Obama Tampering with Conscience.
One of the possible solutions to this is to urge Congress to pass
legislation that increases and expands the conscience protections that we
enjoy.
We at Priests for Life intend to personally visit the offices of the
members of Congress to deliver this message. Fill out the fields below, and
we will include your name and your message. You may edit the message below
as you see fit.
In addition, we at Priests for Life are opposing this mandate as
employers, not as a religious group. Religious freedom is not a right just
of religious groups; it's a right of every
American.
Moreover, the exemption for this mandate is so narrow that we have been
informed by legal counsel that we do not even qualify for it.
When the announcement was made that the government was neither
changing the rule nor expanding the exemption for those who object, but
rather merely giving a year's extension to those who qualify for the
exemption, we knew we had to act immediately.
For our corporation, this mandate goes into effect for us
this August of 2012, not next year.
Moreover, we don't need a year, nor do we need a moment,
to determine what we are going to do, or to "adapt" to the rule. The rule is
unjust. You don't adapt to injustice; you oppose it.
That's why we have launched a federal lawsuit against the Obama
Administration to block the enforcement of this mandate on us, and to
declare it unconstitutional.

Thank you!
