FIGHT FOCA

Information courtesy of our friend, Jim White:

The attack of Satan on families, particularly in the abortion arena, is about to be kicked up a notch. The President-Elect, in a campaign speech, promised to sign this repugnant piece of legislation as one of his first acts as president. See the article below and go to the website for more information on this. Also see World Magazine published January 17 for some excellent articles on the abortion issue.

Special Prayer Need: Fight FOCA
Please join in the effort to fight the terrible piece of legislation called "The Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA).
FOCA would establish the right to abortion as a fundamental right (like the right to free speech) and wipe away every restriction on abortion nationwide. President-elect Barack Obama has vowed in a speech to Planned Parenthood that passing FOCA will be his first act as President.
FOCA will eradicate state and federal abortion laws the majority of Americans support and prevent states from enacting protective measures in the future.
FOCA will do away with state laws on parental involvement, on partial-birth abortion, and on all other protections.
FOCA will compel taxpayer funding of abortions.
FOCA will force faith-based hospitals and healthcare facilities to perform abortions.
Unbelievably, FOCA will even invalidate all health and safety abortion regulations, allowing non-physicians such as dentists and social workers to perform surgical abortions without training. Under FOCA, abortion providers will not be required to sterilize surgical instruments or to have functioning emergency equipment. FOCA endangers the health, lives and safety of American women.
