The First Amendment


 Matt Smith
President, Catholic Advocate


The First Amendment in the Bill of Rights reads:



"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assembly, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

So tell me...how did Congress pass a health care law which forces men and women in both the field of medicine and the insurance industry to violate their beliefs by requiring them to perform abortions, make contraception readily available, and provide sterilization?

Patricia,Obamacare violates the core of the First Amendment and Congress must remedy their error by immediately passing legislation to protect religious liberty and provide conscience protections.

That's why I'm urging you to contact your member of Congress today to demand he or she support H.R. 940, the Health Care Conscience Rights Act and your senators to demand they support S. 1204, also the Health Care Conscience Rights Act.
