Fw: Pennsylvania Senate Bill 3, to prevent taxpayer funding of abortions

Senator Charles T. McIlhinney, Jr.
Senate Box 203010
Harrisburg, PA 17120

Dear Senator McIlhinney,

I am troubled by your lack of response to my recent email, requesting support for Pennsylvania Senate Bill 3. In spite of disingenuous, self-interested outrage from Planned Parenthood, the Pennsylvania Family Institute explains that Senate Bill 3 “would respect the conscience and respect for life of millions of Pennsylvanians, and ensure that their tax dollars do not subsidize abortion coverage through the back door of the new state insurance exchanges.” Senate Bill 3 received a favorable vote in the Banking and Insurance Committee (Kudos to Senator Stewart Greenleaf) and now particularly needs the support of other senators.

Though you identify yourself as Roman Catholic, Planned Parenthood identified you as one of their "pro-choice endorsed candidates" in the November elections (In fact, they gave you a 100% rating.). In spite of what you may have been misled to believe, respect for human life and respect for consciences are not optional, sectarian issues and only applicable to Catholics. The Natural Law requires that all of us respect human life and consciences.

Sincerely,
