Church Urges Opposition to Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA)

FOCA eliminates regulations that protect women from unsafe abortion clinics. FOCA forces taxpayers to fund abortions. FOCA requires all states to allow “partial birth” and other late-term abortions. FOCA subjects women to abortions by non-physicians. FOCA violates the conscience rights of nurses, doctors and hospitals. FOCA strips parents of their right to be involved in their minor daughters’ abortion decision
