Despite the avalanche of pro-abortion propaganda in the Sunday Courant (see Don Pesci’s must-read blog) the bill forcing religious hospitals to provide chemical abortions “died in committee” yesterday, sparing pro-abortion lawmakers the embarrassment of a losing vote. While the death of that bill is a significant victory for pro-family and religious freedom advocates, a number of threats still loom before the close of this legislative session.

We cannot be lulled into a false sense of complacency by yesterday’s victory! Before the end of this week there could be public hearings on a bill to force Connecticut to recognize out-of-state same-sex “marriages” and a bill for “transgender (those who have had sex-change operations) rights” that would prevent school systems from disciplining or declining to hire cross-dressing teachers. The bill forcing religious hospitals to provide chemical abortions could also resurface as an amendment to another bill before this legislative session is over.

This is why it is so important to attend FIC’s Rally for Religious Freedom tomorrow, Wednesday, March 22 at 10:00 a.m. on the steps of the state capitol. Forward this blog posting to as many pro-family people as you can, especially your church lists.

At tomorrow’s rally, Brian Brown and other speakers will address the threats against religious liberty in our state and what those present can do to stop those threats. Following the rally, FIC Action will provide information and guidance to rally attendees as they lobby their legislators for the protection of our religious freedom.

We urge every pro-family state resident who reads this message to attend tomorrow’s rally and to bring as many people as you can. The threats to our freedom are real–and growing. The time to stand up and make our voices heard is now.
