WASHINGTON, March 23, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Another “Occupy” movement has just rocked the United States of America - but with a very different message.
Tens of thousands of men and women gathered in 146 protests on Friday, joining a grassroots effort that organizers say grew far beyond expectations. The rallies were held to protest the Obama administration mandate forcing religious universities, charities, and other groups to pay for abortifacient drugs and other birth control for students and employees.
But while the purpose of the Occupy protests last Fall was sometimes criticized as being somewhat hazy, the message of this event was clear. According to the Friday rallies, the HHS mandate is not a birth control issue, but a religious freedom issue, and a challenge to fight that won’t be ignored.
One fulcrum of the national protests was Washington, D.C., where about 1,500-2,000 gathered on a hot and sunny afternoon before the Health and Human Services building. Beneath the windows of HHS offices was heard the chanting of “We will not comply,” car horns honking in solidarity, and the rallying cries of several prominent speakers, including Pat Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition, Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life, conservative activist Star Parker, and Lila Rose of Live Action.

It’s very sad, but many people, even in my ow family, are simply incapable to see or understand what is at stake here.
Was terrified tonight hearing members of my own family trying support some of this crap. Very sad.
People increasingly are willingly accepting slavery over freedom.
20 % of the babies in Texas are killed every year, about 80,000 thousand babies.
80,000 dead babies. In Texas alone.
USA government wants 80,000 babies or more dead in Texas every year.
Texas has 1.7 million illegal immigrants. These illegal immigrants get to have lives in Texas and the USA government is ok with that.
There are more than 20 illegal immigrants allowed to live in Texas for every baby killed in Texas by abortion every year.
By any standards over history this situation ranks as one of the worst exterminations of legal citizens and supplanting them with illegal alien invaders, ever, in all of US and world history.
The USA is killing our own babies to give the county to illegal aliens. This is the stuff of revolutions, revolutions where they last a long time, and a lot of very unpleasant things happen over a very long period of time.
What a great rally - just wonderful!
I am right. It is rather selfish to only complain about what hurts you most personally, and ignore what also hurts everyone else. The whole thing is bad, and any American Christian should let it be known.
Crazy isn’t it. If I were writing about it in a past tense I think I would have to say “and a time of evil, and great darkness descended on the land”.
The average person in this country has become little more than a propagandized drone who advocates socialism/communism whatever the hell you want to call it without even realizing it ! ! !
