No Taxpayer-Funded Abortion Petition  The Hyde Amendment and similar laws have protected taxpayers from funding elective abortion for 45 years. Now, powerful members of Congress want to take away these laws that both Democrats and Republicans have supported for nearly half a century. Billions of taxpayer dollars could be used to pay for abortion. It is critically important for Catholics to send a strong message before Congress moves forward to impose taxpayer-funded abortion. Take action and sign the petition to Congress at NoTaxpayerAbortion.com.  Mass Schedule Donate Online to Support Our Ministry Thank you for your continued support The University Catholic Center continues its mission of proclaiming the good news of the gospel at Emory University and Agnes Scott College thanks to your sacrificial support.
