On Friday, June 8th, there will be several “Stand Up for Religious Freedom” rallies across the state. This is a
nationwide day of rallies in response to the recent U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services mandate forcing religious institutions to pay for
procedures/drugs which violate their core religious beliefs, such as
abortion-inducing drugs.
Similar rallies were
held across the nation in March.
Initially, this
mandate has had the greatest impact on the Catholic Church. However, if it is not reversed, it has
the potential to restrict the freedom of religion and conscience of every faith
in the entire nation. It is
important that those of us who cherish religious liberty, as handed down to us
from our forefathers in the First Amendment to the Constitution, let our voices
be heard. We are joining
with dozens of state and national pro-life
organizations in support of
this effort including the Alliance Defense Fund, Concerned Women for America,
Americans United for Life, The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty and dozens
more.
There are four rallies
scheduled for Virginia. All
are from noon until 1:00 p.m. If
you are within driving distance of one of these events, please make every
effort to attend. The
