U.S. Catholic Bishops Warn Congress on Health Reform

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops today sent a letter to the House of Representatives and Senate to warn lawmakers that the church would oppose a final bill if it did not do the following:

– Exclude mandated coverage for abortion and incorporate longstanding policies against abortion funding that are in favor of conscience rights.

– Adopt measures that protect and and improve people’s health care.

– Include effective measures to safeguard the health of legal immigrants, their children and all of society.
