The U.S. bishops’ conference is augmenting its pro-life postcard campaign by launching an e-mail initiative urging to oppose abortion and retain pro-life policies.
Like the postcard campaign, the e-mail campaign is being coordinated through the USCCB’s partner organization, the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment (NCHLA).
The e-mails urge a constituent’s Senators and Representative to “please oppose FOCA or any similar measure.” If passed and signed into law, the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) would remove all local, state and federal restrictions on access to abortion.
The e-mails also request that Congress “retain existing laws against funding and promotion of abortion,” stating, “It is especially important that Congress retain these laws in the various appropriations bills, e.g., the Hyde Amendment in the Labor/Health and Human Services appropriations bill.”

WASHINGTON, DC, March 5, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - On March 10 men and women who have had abortions and who now regret their choice will be joining 40 Days for Life campaigns across the country. Women who are involved with the Silent No More Awareness Campaign will carry signs that read, "I regret my abortion," and men will hold signs saying, "I regret lost fatherhood."
"We are highly encouraged that the Silent No More Awareness Campaign is urging women and men who have found healing in the wake of abortion to stand witness in front of abortion facilities on March 10 in connection with 40 Days for Life," said Shawn Carney, spring campaign director for 40 Days for Life. "The message of post-abortion healing plays an important role in the dismantling of the abortion culture and the construction of a new culture of life."
The date, March 10, was chosen because it is the same date that the abortion industry has marked as Abortion Provider Appreciation Day. . .
