     *****FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*****

Subject: PICKET ON MEDICAL ETHICS
Contact: Lila Cuajunco
Phone:    (310) 324-2751

On Good Friday picketers will stand near the Harbor UCLA Hospital to 
protest a proposed change in federal regulations. Opponents to the 
change say that it will violate the freedom of conscience of health care 
professionals and can endanger patients.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services  wants to repeal the 
so-called Freedom of Conscience clause from its regulations. The Freedom 
of Conscience clause guarantees doctors and nurses the right to refuse 
to do what they consider unethical.

The freedom of conscience provision prevents medical employers such as 
hospitals from forcing medical professionals such as doctors and nurses 
into doing something they consider unethical, such as abortions or 
anything to hasten a patient's death.  Now, medical employers may not 
take reprisals against such medical professionals because of the freedom 
of conscience regulation.

The Good Friday picketers will pass out flyers from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 
p.m. to urge support for the Freedom of Conscience clause. The flyers 
will ask the public to e-mail the U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services to retain the freedom of conscience regulation and not to 
repeal it.

"A doctor's conscience may be a patient's last best hope from possible 
abuses," said spokesperson Lila Cuajunco, a resident of 
Torrance. Cuajunco called for the South Bay picket when she heard that 
Randall Terry called for nationwide pickets on Good Friday to support 
the Freedom of Conscience clause.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) invites public 
comment about the proposed repeal of the Freedom of Conscience clause. 
Send comments by e-mail to **ProposedRescission at HHS.gov* 
<mailto:ProposedRescission at HHS.gov>*.

<mailto:proposedrescission at hhs.gov>* or online through 
www.Regulations.gov (check "Select to find documents" and then enter

***_      Suggested Message_**:* "Please retain the freedom of 
conscience regulation, and enforce the laws protecting the right of 
health care providers to serve patients without violating medical ethics 
or their moral or religious convictions. The government has a 
responsibility to patients to ensure that the conscience rights of 
health care providers are protected."

*Please submit your comments before close of business April 9, 2009.*

ONE MILLION ROSARIES TO BE PRAYED ON PENTECOST SUNDAY-- _MAY 31, 2009_
For the conversion of abortoholic legislators and public officials, 
especially our president.* 

Please visit www.onemillionrosaries.blogspot.com 
<http://www.onemillionrosaries.blogspot.com/> and sign up to be among 
the 1,000,000 Catholic strong praying for the moral conversion of 
pro-abortion legislation.

*PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK*

On October 7, 1571, the European Christian fleet won a monumental naval 
victory over the Turks who threatened invasion. The Turks had a distinct 
material advantage--- the finest naval fleet on Earth against a pitiful 
alliance of Catholics. But the Catholics had the greatest advantage of 
all--- the Holy Rosary.

Pope St. Pius V called for all of Europe to pray the Rosary for victory. 
And when the Catholics, against all natural odds, surprised the world 
with a victory, October 7 became a feast day of the Church, eventually 
being called "Our Lady of the Rosary."

Today, we are up against a similar fate. We have a government in 
America, the most powerful country in the world, which openly promotes 
the murder of unborn babies. We have a president who holds the most 
extreme views on abortion in the history of our country. With each 
passing bill, more and more pro-life rights are being stripped away, and 
our culture is being more firmly entrenched in death.

What we fail to realize is that our ragtag, pitiful alliance does indeed 
have a distinct advantage through prayer, especially through our Lady's 
intercession.

On the Feast of Pentecost- May 31, 2009, please join me in offering a 
rosary for the conversion of pro-abortion legislators in our country, 
especially our president. Remember that Pentecost is the coming of the 
Holy Spirit upon the Church; may He give us the courage to stand for 
what is right in the face of enormous opposition.

Our goal is to have ONE MILLION ROSARIES offered on May 31! Imagine the 
amount of grace that will be available to our country. Please pass the 
message along to everyone you know.
