Our most vulnerable sisters and brothers need our help RIGHT NOW.
The Minnesota Senate is expected to vote as soon as this week on what’s called the “PRO Act.” Essentially, it’s a bill that works to enshrine into law an abortion regime that disregards prenatal life. The PRO Act is part of the most extreme abortion legislative agenda in Minnesota history, allowing for abortion for any reason and at any time without any regulation. How disturbing that a pre-born child whose heart is beating, who can feel pain and who may even be viable outside the womb is treated with such disdain.
I ask you to educate yourself on this issue and join me in emailing and calling your state senator immediately to express your views on the proposed legislation. It seems to me that instead of spending tax dollars to support the taking of human life we should be investing in ways to support families – babies, moms and dads, brothers and sisters, such as a state child tax credit. It’s that simple. We need more love and support – not death!
We are blessed that the Minnesota Catholic Conference makes clear for us the different ways in which we can make our voices heard at the State Capitol on a wide spectrum of issues. At www.mncatholic.org/actioncenter, you can find an action alert that will assist you in connecting with your senator about the PRO Act, suggested wording to ask them to protect the most vulnerable, and other ways to become a more activated Catholic. It only takes a few minutes of your time. Again, that’s www.mncatholic.org/actioncenter.
Only together can we create a culture of life that supports women and babies.
Thank you and may God bless you.
