CATHOLICS CALLED to respond to repeal threat of Hyde Amendment
Since its enactment in 1976, the Hyde Amendment has been critical in preventing taxpayer funding of abortion. Each year, Congress reauthorizes the Hyde amendment as an attachment to the appropriations bill for the Department of Health & Human Services. Sadly, the amendment is now facing a serious threat, as it has been announced that it will not be included for fiscal year 2022. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is looking to activate Catholics in a largescale response to this repeal threat and YOUR help is needed. Please see the information background sheet HERE and/or pick up a sheet at one of the church entrances. The bishops also ask you to sign up at notaxpayerabortion.com to learn how you can help.
