This weekend, Catholic leaders across the state "joined the chorus of church officials urging parishoners to protest and pray about the federal government's decision to require many church-affiliated institutions to cover free birth control for employees." If you agree with those Catholic leaders who support the H.R.1179, you can visit the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment' Action Center, which has a form to help resident contact their legislators about the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act.
