Regarding the Senate Bill:

The USCCB “Bishops are first moral teachers and we have insisted from the beginning that health care reform must protect the life, dignity, and health of all… We cannot support a bill that conflicts with our deeply held moral commitment to the protection of all life, from conception to natural death. The Catholic Bishops have long supported health care coverage for all and do not want to have to oppose legislation… but we will have no choice but to do so if our essential moral criteria are not met.”

(From the USCCB Nationwide Bulletin Insert Pulpit Announcements & Prayer Petition Found here.)
This is what Pope John Paul II said in his Papal Encyclical Evangelium vitae:

Jesus Himself Has Shown Us By His Own Example That Prayer And Fasting Are The First And Most Effective Weapons Against The Forces Of Evil (Cf. Mt 4:1-11). As He Taught His Disciples, Some Demons Cannot Be Driven Out Except In This Way (Cf. Mk 9:29). Let Us Therefore Discover Anew The Humility And The Courage To Pray And Fast So That Power From On High Will Break Down The Walls Of Lies And Deceit: The Walls Which Conceal From The Sight Of So Many Of Our Brothers And Sisters The Evil Of Practices And Laws Which Are Hostile To Life. May This Same Power Turn Their Hearts To Resolutions And Goals Inspired By The Civilization Of Life And Love. (Pope John Paul II Evangelium vitae, 100)
