The National Right to Life Committee Report

The National Right to Life Committee Report

The NRLC website, at http://capwiz.com/nrlc/home/ provides us with information on how our representatives in Congress and in the Senate vote on pro-life issues.

This letter will inform us on how the 12 Democratic Catholic-label politicians voted in the Senate on 3 fundamental bills. In the past these 12 Senators have already voted to remove conscience protection for doctors and health care workers in Obama Health Care Bill. They are also with a political party that promotes and supports same–sex marriage.

Here are the names of the 12 Senators: 1.) Tom Harkin (IA) – 2.) Dick Durbin (IL) – 3.) Mary Landrieu (LA) – 4.) John Kerry (MA) – 5.) Barbara Mikulski (MD) – 6.) Claire McCaskill (MO) - 7.) Robert Menendez (NJ) - 8.) Robert Casey (PA) - 9.) Jack Reed (RI) – 10.) Patrick Leahy (VT) – 11.) Maria Cantwell ((WA) – 12.) Patty Murray.

The above 12 Senators voted against the Repeal of Obamacare law (2-2/2011, Roll Call No. 9. [The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) strongly supported the repeal as explained in a letter sent to the U.S. House members that passed the House on Jan. 19, 2011. Unfortunately, the McConnell motion failed, 47 to 51 (60 votes were required to prevail), on a straight party-line vote.]

The 12 voted against Blocking funding for Obama health care law (4-14-2011, Roll Call No. 59) [The bill was supported by 47 Senators, all Republicans, and opposed by 53 Senators (51 Democrats and two independents who caucus with the Democrats).

The 12 voted not to Cut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood (4-14-2011, Roll Call No. 60) This bill was supported by National Right to Life. [The bill failed, with 42 senators (all Republicans) voting in support of pro-life, 58 (53 Democrats and 5 Republicans) voting against it.

WE COME NOW TO THE CRUX OF THE ISSUE.

HOW WILL THE ABOVE 12 DEMOCRATIC CATHOLIC-LABEL POLITICIANS VOTE ON “TESTIMONY ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AND RELIGIOUS RIGHTS” BY BISHOP WILLIAM E. LORI TO THE COMMITTEE ON US. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE CONSTITUTION, OCT. 26, 2011 IS SO IMPORTANT TO ALL CATHOLICS ESPECIALLY MEMBERS OF THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS AND OTHER CHRISTIANS?

WILL THEY VOTE FOR THE 3 BI-PARTISAN BILLS THAT WILL PROTECT RELIGIOUS RIGHTS? THESE ARE:

1)THE PROTECT LIFE ACT (H.R. 358), - 2.) THE ABORTION NON DISCRIMINATION ACT (H.R. 361

3.) THE RESPECT RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE ACT (H.R. 1179)

I BELIEVE THE ABOVE 12 SENATORS WILL VOTE AGAINST THE ABOVE 3 BILLS THAT WILL PROTECT
RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES AND RELIGIOUS RIGHTS. WHAT SHOULD BISHOP WILLIAM E. LORI DO? WHAT SHOULD THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS MEMBERS DO? DO WE NEED TO INFORM VOTERS?
