Tweet Pin It Michael Fedele, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, spoke against forcing Catholic hospitals to provide chemical abortions in his Friday debate with his opponent: Asked about legislation that would require all hospitals, including Catholic ones, to provide rape victims with emergency contraception, Fedele said the issue is now moot because the FDA will […]

Tweet Pin It Al Adinolfi of the 103rd district (Cheshire, Hamden, Wallingford) is one of the most pro-family state representatives in our state legislature. And his opponent is possibly the most anti-Catholic candidate in the 2006 campaign. Earlier this year pro-abortion activists tried to pass a law forcing Catholic hospitals to provide “Plan B,” which […]

Tweet Pin It The FDA’s decision allowing over-the-counter access to a potential abortifacient has led pro-abortion activists to renew their attacks on religious freedom in Connecticut: In Connecticut, women’s advocates who have been lobbying for easier access to the drug for rape victims said they fear the ruling will do little to change the continued […]

Tweet Pin It Connecticut’s pro-abortion activists launched several new attacks on human life and free speech this year…and failed at every one. The restoration of the Choose Life plates marks their latest and much-deserved defeat: A pro-adoption foundation won reinstatement Friday of its right to sponsor special “Choose Life” license plates on Connecticut cars, ending […]

Tweet Pin It It was nice of the Courant to run a few positive items about faith on Easter Sunday. But it would have had more meaning if the paper had not editorialized in favor of the destruction of religious freedom in Connecticut the next day.  On Feb. 23, the Courant’s editors had this to […]

But despite the presence of the Courant’s religion reporter at the event, our local paper of record limited its coverage to one photo with a vague caption noting the Archbishop’s concern about “ominous threats” to the Church “in […]

Tweet Pin It S.B. 46, an FIC-supported bill that would stop unsolicited sexually-oriented electronic messages targeting children, made it out of committee yesterday. In other good news, S.B. 699, a bill that would push Connecticut closer to the legalization of same-sex “marriage,” died in committee. Thank you to all of you who e-mailed your legislators […]

Tweet Pin It You’ve seen the headlines over this past month: A complaint of bias was filed against St. Mary’s Hospital simply because it will not recognize same-sex unions. A bill at our state legislature would force religious hospitals to provide an abortion-inducing drug. Lt. Gov. Kevin Sullivan has called for the resignation of Victim […]

Tweet Pin It Proponents of the bill to force Catholic hospitals to provide a pill that can induce abortions have claimed that it is about helping the victims of crimes, not a pro-abortion attack on religious freedom. Their pretenses have now been blown away by Lt. Gov. Sullivan’s clumsy, over-the-top call for Victim Advocate James […]
