Health Care Statement: Catholic Charities USA actively opposes any health care reform bill that would provide for or promote the funding of abortion or compel any health care practitioner or institution to provide such a service. In fact, CCUSA continues to work with the Catholic Health Association and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to remove any such provisions from the proposed legislation. » more
