Contra Contraception--The State of Illinois
A link at Mere Comments (the Touchstone blog) sent to me by my good friend Tom. Those of you in the state of Illinois, in a position to do the most good--please respond. The rest of us, please pray. Daily, it seems, there is some new assault on the right to practice our faith as we see fit. This is simply another, more egregious, more obvious problem.

While I'm glad to have my family back in Michigan close to family, I regret that I can't be back in Illinois helping fight this with my and my wife's votes.
