Connecticut "Silent No More" gathering, this SUNDAY, JAN. 22, 2006

Connecticut Women Participate in Campaign Addressing the Reality of Abortion

Hartford, CT – Breaking the silence that surrounds the personal experience of abortion, women from Connecticut will tell their stories on January 22th, between 1-2 pm at the Hartford Capitol, Room 310, in downtown Hartford. The Hartford event is one of 20 happening throughout America and in Washington D.C. in January as part of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, which is co-sponsored by NOEL and Priests for Life.

"The real experience of abortion is quite different than the rhetoric we’ve heard for 33 years," said Rachel Torres O’Leary, event speaker. "Our voices have been locked in silence due to pain, shame, and fear of judgment. But now it’s time for us to be silent no more about the real problems we’ve dealt with after having abortions."

Silent No More Awareness is a nationwide campaign making the public aware of the devastation abortion brings to women and men. The campaign seeks to expose and heal the secrecy surrounding the emotional and physical pain of abortion. Since officially launching the campaign in January 2003, 3,123 people have registered as active members online, 110 gatherings have occurred in 3 countries and 44 states with 1,682 participants sharing their testimonies, and more than 5,000 spectators have heard the message.

The writings expressed herein are protected expression by virtue of the First Amendment of the United States of America AND by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in particular Articles 18 and 19, signed by the U.S.A. in 1948:
1) The First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
"The Free Exercise Clause reserves the right of American citizens to accept any religious belief and engage in religious rituals. The wording in the free-exercise clauses of state constitutions that religious “[o]pinion, expression of opinion, and practice were all expressly protected” by the Free Exercise Clause.[1] The clause protects not just religious beliefs but actions made on behalf of those beliefs. More importantly, the wording of state constitutions suggest that “free exercise envisions religiously compelled exemptions from at least some generally applicable laws.”[2] The Free Exercise Clause not only protects religious belief and expression; it also seems to allow for violation of laws, as long as that violation is made for religious reasons."
2) Article 18 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed by the U.S.A. in 1948, states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."
3) Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
