The wind kept our flags unfurled
About 100 turned out for the Spokane, WA rally in front of the federal courthouse.
The winds were 30 MPH, with gusts over 55 – and it was verrrry cold. But we had 4 fantastic speakers, and lots of enthusiasm. And 4 truly excellent speeches!
A good crowd turned out in Spokane
And we heard from Jodi, a pharmacist, explaining how contraceptives are not health care, but, rather, a cause of health problems – from breast cancer to blood clots – and, therefore, we should never be forced to pay for them.
And we had speeches from local small business owners, one citing an increase in health insurance premiums for “women’s preventative services” – which she was forced to cancel, so now she and her family and employees are without health coverage.
Special request:
Our keynote speaker, Dr. David DeWolf, lost his son to suicide the day after the rally. Please keep this wonderful, pro-life family in your prayers.
