The United States Congress is in the process of advancing the appropriations bill, which, in its current form, excludes both the Hyde and Weldon Amendments. If passed, this would result in elective abortions funded by taxpayers, a legal requirement that health care providers perform and refer for abortion, and a stipulation that employers and insurers must cover and pay for abortions.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is asking all people of good will to sign a petition NO LATER THAN MONDAY, JULY 26, 2021, urging Congress to keep these two historically bipartisan provisions in place.
