Diocese: Oppose the Freedom of Choice Act

The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) again before Congress (S. 1173, H.R. 1964). FOCA is a radical bill. It creates a “fundamental right” to abortion throughout the nine months of pregnancy. No governmental body at any level would be able to “deny or interfere with” this right, or to “discriminate” against the exercise of this right “in the regulation or provision of benefits, facilities, services, or information.” For the first time, abortion would become an entitlement the government must condone and promote. Please see the attached Action Alert for more information as well as resources available at http://www.usccb.org/prolife/issues/FOCA/index.shtml. If you do not have access to the web and need printed resources, please contact the Office of Pro-Life Activities and Chaste Living at marie-seale@austindiocese.org or 512-949-2487.
