Urgent Plea from Fr. Frank Pavone

Dear Friends,

I'm sending this next column to you early, because the US Senate is voting tomorrow, July 25, on the matter of which the column speaks - a bill that can drastically cut into the abortion business in this country. Please read the column carefully, and then please make two phone calls - one to each of your US Senators, to tell them to vote for this bill.

The bill is the Child Custody Protection Act, Senate bill 403, and it would make it a crime to take a minor to another state's abortion clinic to bypass a parental involvement law in their own state.

The Senators should be urged to vote for the bill as it is, without accepting any amendments. The number is the same: 202-224-3121. Just provide your zip code and the operator will connect you to your Senator's office.Thank you for doing this. You don't have to get into any discussion or debate when you call - it takes less than a minute. Just say you want your Senators to vote for this bill without any amendments, and then politely say good-bye.

If you could then do one more thing - please let me know that you made the call. Just email me back (Email us at mail@priestsforlife.org) and tell me you did it. The reason for this is what a wise business owner once told me: "If you can't measure it, you're just practicing." In other words, when we visit the offices of lawmakers, just a block away from our Washington DC office, what makes our visits effective is that we can tell them that we have a big team out there - namely, you - and that when we urge them to act, they act. The problem is that we don't always know who actually takes action and who doesn't. So, I would be very grateful to hear from you in a short email saying that you called your Senators.

Let me also provide you with the upcoming schedules for our own TV shows and Radio programming:
