The pro same-sex “marriage” lobby is holding a press conference next week to soften up lawmakers prior to a renewed push to redefine marriage: [Anne] Stanback hopes Rell will meet with gay marriage proponents before issuing an opinion. “If at that point she disagrees, then we’ll accept that,” Stanback said. Ah, but Anne, she already has issued her […]
From the front page of today’s Courant: Even as the Plan B emergency birth control pill was heading toward more widespread availability at pharmacy counters, 40 percent of rape victims who sought care at Connecticut hospitals in the first half of 2006 were not offered the medication or were sent home without the full dose […]
