Senate Bill 96: Sponsor Senator David Vitter (LA)
Amends the Public Health Service Act to include a health care entity's refusal to provide coverage of, or pay for, induced abortions among the bases for which the federal government or any state or local government that receives federal financial assistance may not discriminate against such an entity. Expands the definition of "health care entity" to include a hospital, a provider sponsored organization, a health maintenance organization, a health insurance plan, and any other kind of health care facility, organization, or plan.
We need to support this. It may be the only way Christian doctors and hospitals in business if the Freedom of Choice Act is ever enacted.
H.R. 45: Sponsor Rep. Bobby Rush (IL)
Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 - Amends the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act to prohibit a person from possessing a firearm unless that person has been issued a firearm license under this Act or a state system certified under this Act and such license has not been invalidated or revoked. Prescribes license application, issuance, and renewal requirements.
Prohibits transferring or receiving a qualifying firearm unless the recipient presents a valid firearms license, the license is verified, and the dealer records a tracking authorization number. Prescribes firearms transfer reporting and record keeping requirements. Directs the Attorney General to establish and maintain a federal record of sale system.
We need to fight this one and keep a close eye on it. It seems like it invalidates every gun permit in America and force gun owners to reapply under this law's stricter rules. But the scariest part is the "federal record of sale system". Where is the ACLU? Where are all the people who complained about the Patriot Act being intrusive? What happened to the progressive ideal of a right to privacy?
