On Jan. 6, the Center for Inquiry called on members of the House of Representatives to support a bill, H.R. 3774, that would stop taxpayer funding for federal abstinence-only programs and support comprehensive sexual education. The bill, proposed by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), remains in committee. In mid-January, the Center for Inquiry, as well as several hundred of our followers, urged the House of Representatives to reject a bill, H.R. 7, that would eliminate abortion coverage for millions of women. The measure, proposed by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), would create a ban on using federal government funds on health care plans that include coverage for abortion. This means low-income women, civil servants, and women in the military would be forced to pay for abortions on their own. It passed 227-188. Throughout March, the Center for Inquiry joined several groups -- Americans United for Separation of Church and State, Secular Coalition for America, and the ACLU -- in lobbying against a Senate bill, S. 862, that would create a broad religious exemption from the individual health insurance mandate of the Affordable Care Act. Collectively we met with health issues staff members in offices of several co-sponsors, including Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE), Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI), and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). We also issued an action alert urging our followers to contact their U.S. Senator to oppose this proposal, which has not yet been voted on, but could reach the Senate floor at any moment.
