  • 2020 Voter Guide State Legislative Races Pittsburgh Diocese
    2020 Voter Guide State Legislative Races Pittsburgh Diocese The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference is the public affairs arm of the Catholic bishops across the state. We monitor hundreds of pieces of legislation throughout the year and determine whether or not to take a position for or against what we feel are the ones most important to our faith. This Voter Guide includes a cross-section of seven bills spanning seven categories to show how incumbent legislators have voted. We have also invited their challengers in the general election to indicate how they would vote on these same bills. This guide is meant to be an educational piece, which we hope will provide you with information so that you can make your own decisions. A listing of the bills used for this comparison and their descriptions are below. The overall scores given to each candidate indicate the percentage of times they vote in support of PCC’s position and the percentage of times they voted in opposition to PCC’s position. Please understand we continue to work with legislators from all parties on various pieces of legislation. Unlike these, not all of that legislation has been sent to the Governor. The Conference neither supports nor opposes any candidate or political party. The Catholic Conference aims to educate and inform Catholics about a wide range of issues. List of issues included for comparison: Pro Life: House Bill 321 was a prolife measure which would prohibit the aborting of a fetus solely on the basis of a possible diagnosis of Down syndrome. The PCC strongly supported this bill and worked with prolife lawmakers to gain its passage.

  • Expanding Pharmacist-Provided Immunization Opportunities
    Expanding Pharmacist-Provided Immunization Opportunities House Bill 91 and Senate Bill 274 Legislation: • House Bill 91 - introduced by Representative Seth Grove - currently in the House Health Committee. • Senate Bill 274 - introduced by Senator Judy Ward - currently in the Senate Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee. Ask your legislators: • Ask your Representatives to vote for House Bill 91. • Ask your Senators to vote for SB 274. Facts About Immunizations: • Currently in Pennsylvania, there are approximately 9,500 certified pharmacist immunizers available to safely and conveniently administer vaccinations. • According to a 2008 article in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, “With supporting health policy, health education, and communication, health care settings beyond the traditional medical home (e.g. pharmacists) have the potential to effectively augment the vaccination efforts of more traditional settings to deliver vaccines to adolescents.” • Thirteen other states have no age restrictions for pharmacists providing immunizations. • Thirty-six states allow pharmacists to provide all immunizations to children of younger ages than provided in Pennsylvania. PPA supports expanding pharmacist-provided immunization opportunities because: • The public's unique access to pharmacists – including extended hours of operation and weekend availability, coupled with being a trusted health care professional – places pharmacies in an ideal position to have a major impact on reducing vaccine-preventable illness. • Pharmacists are trained to administer immunizations and are a trusted partner in patients overall health care.
