Happy Easter,

I am writing to area individuals, groups, and parishes asking them to get the word out about the need to call Sen. Rob Kupec’s office THIS WEEK about the “2023 Health Omnibus Bill.” A version of the bill was passed by the House and another by the Senate with the House bill containing many provisions that repeals a number of bills that are meant to provide at least some “minimal” controls over abortion in the state. Set to be repealed are such things as 1. Ending abortion reporting requirements (allowing people to track the numbers of abortions, the reasons for them, and where they occur), 2. the law that only allows physicians to carry out an abortion, 3. rules governing the disposal of fetal remains among many other provisions (see below for the entire list). Incredibly, the House bill also repeals the $3.5 million/year that are going to organizations around the state that assist women in need who wish to have their baby. These organizations provide support to pregnant mothers and to their babies once born. These organizations provide free services that cannot be found elsewhere.

Here is where you can be helpful. Our local senator, Rob Kupec, is part of the conference committee that will work out a compromise between the Senate and House versions of the bill. PLEASE CALL SENATOR KUPEC’S OFFICE THIS WEEK (651-296-3205)

Please let me know if you have any questions. AND PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO ANYONE THAT YOU BELIEVE WOULD BE WILLING TO MAKE A CALL.

God Bless

Dcn. Mark Krejci
