pete, this is a letter i sent to the two pennsylvania senators and our local representative. FOCA, i am now hearing, will not be attempted as FOCA but rather there will be an attempt to pass it piecemeal as amendments to and parts of other, possibly unrelated legislation. so this still remains valid as a list of things with which we disagree however they are passed. any questions, 215-721-9821. God bless you, steve
dear representative dent,
i understand that president obama has promised to push for passage of FOCA (freedom of choice act) which will codify abortion as well as DO AWAY with current COMMONSENSE LIMITATIONS such as:
1. those coming for abortions need to understand clearly what they are doing (they need to see an ultra sound of their baby as well as a video of an abortion being performed along with showing what comes out). this we know as INFORMED CONSENT.
2. they need to have a TIME FOR REFLECTION (at least 24 hours) to seriously consider whether or not they really want to do this and, to a degree, escape any pressure being put on them by others so that this is truly their own decision.
3. if they are minors they need PERMISSION granted BY THEIR PARENT, verified by identification, in person just as they would for any other operation.
4. the currently UNLAWFUL abortion proceedure that induces labor of a late term preborn baby whose skull is punctured, brains vacuumed out, skull crushed while still within its mother and then pulled out ( PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION).
5. the requirement that a LICENSED MEDICAL DOCTOR PERFORM the ABORTION just as would be required for any other operation.
6. the MINIMUM HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARDS required by law for all other operations.
7. that TAXPAYERS, WHO MORALLY OBJECT TO ABORTION as an infringement on their belief that God has told us, 'thou shalt not kill', NOT BE REQUIRED TO FUND such killing with their taxes. (the hyde amendment being done away with) also taxpayer money goes to support planned parenthood, the largest provider of abortions in the country, which was more than $1,000,000,000 profitable last year.
8. that ABORTIONS may NOT be performed AT MILITARY HOSPITALS.
9. a RESTICTION ON medical INSURANCE COVERING ABORTION FOR GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES for the reason listed in #7 above.
10. BANS ON ABORTION of preborn babies AFTER VIABILITY.
11. LIMITS ON the use of PUBLIC FACILITIES, such as hospitals and medical schools at state universities, for PERFORMING ABORTIONS.
12. PROTECTION FOR THOSE individual health care providers and private businesses (ie. pharmacies, etc.) WHO DECLINE TO PARTICIPATE IN ABORTION.
13. PROTECTION FOR THOSE roman catholic and other religion-based hospitals and clinics WHO WILL NOT PERFORM ABORTIONS for the reason stated in #7 above.
if passed FOCA would strike down over 550 state and federal laws now limiting abortion and would not be pursuant of the stated goal of making ABORTION SAFE AND RARE. would you please let me know your position on abortion in general and what your vote would be should FOCA be presented in the house of representatives for a vote.
thank you for all you do for good and may God bless and help you in so doing. sincerely, stephen paine
