Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

MANASSAS, Virginia (Zenit) - Many organizations are joining the U.S. bishops' conference to publicly protest the conscientious objection ban for health care workers, before the April 9 deadline.

Thursday is the last day to give public comments on the proposed ban on conscience protection for pro-life doctors and nurses.

The Cardinal Newman Society announced in a press release today that they are joining dozens of groups in requesting people to take action, and sign a petition against this withdrawal of objection rights.

The statement urges: "The Obama administration is actively working to remove sensible conscience protections that prevent doctors and nurses from being discriminated against when they refuse to perform morally objectionable procedures, such as abortions.

"Please, pro-life doctors and nurses need your help today!"

The organizations have set up a new Web site, Freedom2Care.org, to gather signatures for the petition and inform people about the issues at stake.
