We’re fighting back on health care and need your help.

Last month a broad coalition of pro-life Democrats and Republicans introduced the “Protect Life Act,” a new bill that would remove all abortion funding from the new healthcare law. The bill would also create critical conscience protections for doctors and health care workers.

So every Catholic group is supporting this new proposal, right?

Well, we aim to make sure they do -- starting with the Catholic Health Association.

We took to the streets of Chicago to ask people what they thought of Earth Day bus ads by CatholicVote.org.

CHICAGO – CatholicVote.org says it’s time to use Earth Day to celebrate nature’s greatest gift – human life.

With bus ads starting today in Chicago and next week in San Francisco and Seattle, CatholicVote.org is encouraging Americans to rethink how they celebrate Earth Day, and how we to go about building a culture that respects the environment.

“Our goal is to use Earth Day to get Americans to think more deeply about what it means to truly respect the Earth and creation. Prevailing environmental attitudes too often view humans as the enemy of nature. We believe the human person is God’s greatest creation, and the Earth’s greatest resource. Building up a culture of life is the single most important way to build a culture that respects the environment,” said Brian Burch, President of CatholicVote.org Education Fund.

Here's the video we did defending Bart Stupak that we launched together with StandWithStupak.com during the week before the House passed the Senate's pro-abortion healthcare bill.

Here's a post from Thomas Peters over at the American Papist blog (now located at CatholicVoteAction.org). I'm reprinting here to give context as to why this Tim Tebow petition is so important:

It still amazes me how vicious pro-abortion advocates can be, especially when they don’t get their way, or sense that their “cause” is being threatened in a serious way.

For all their talk about respect of mothers, of choice, and of differences of opinions, none of those things apply to actual pro-life people. Or in this case, the mother of Tim Tebow (I explained the background to this story earlier in the week here).

I’ll just excerpt one example. I think it’s important for us to read this and realize the level of anger we are facing. This from Tommy Craggs at DeadSpin:

Breathtaking, isn’t it? And this sort of vitriol is not even limited to individuals. As Matt Archibold points out, the Center for Reproductive Rights, in a letter to CBS, is flat-out claiming Tebow’s mom is a liar.

The wider audience however – those who are not passionately pro-life or pro-abortion – are seeing both sides of this issue for who they are, and that’s always a good thing for pro-lifers. In fact, online and Facebook support for Tim Tebow are extremely strong, as social-media-watching blog Mashable notes.

Here at CatholicVote, we believe in supporting Tim Tebow, the brave choice of his mother, and the smart decision made by the CBS executives. Click here to tell CBS you support their decision to air the Tim Tebow Commercial (and tell your friends, too!)
