Visit the website to register how many rosaries you have prayed. https://www.praytogetherstaytogether.net Stop your tax dollars from paying for abortion! A serious effort is underway in Congress to force all taxpayers to pay for elective abortions. The Hyde Amendment and other similar laws have long protected taxpayers from funding elective abortions. Now, powerful members of Congress want to get rid of these laws, which have been supported by both Democrats and Republicans for 45 years. Learn more: https:// www.notaxpayerabortion.com/learn.
