Oh good! Ours is posted on the church bulletin board.
I’ve called my priest and eparchy and left messages, called CatholicVote, tweeted, plussed, commented, and written here. And I said I’ll email tonight. What more help do you want from me?
C’mon guys…everybody take a deeeeeeeeeep breath, and chill
We’re all on the same side, here, after all 
Don, if I were you I’d start writing letters to your bishops and Metropolitan. I think I’m going to write a letter to our Eparch, Kyr Samra.
I’m not Tom, but I would suggest contacting your leaders, fellow members of the Faithful, etc. and get them involved in writing their senators and representatives. I posted a plea for help on some Orthodox pages on facebook but haven’t had much response. Perhaps you could consider stating a thread like this at Orthodox Answers or another related forum if you are a member of them.
There’s a movement of non-Catholics who are saying this isn’t just a Catholic issue. Baptist and Jewish leaders are making up most of it right now. It would be great if your bishops participated in their campaigns. Or in light of the joint pro-life efforts between us this month, if they could stand with us. Or both!
Thanks! I’ll get to work on a letter tonight, and mail it out to my bishop, metropolitan, and priest, and ask them to get involved as well. This is exactly the kind of issue where we can stand together. I’ll post later the body of my letter, and in the weeks to come any responses that I receive.
I think there is a thread, but it’s in the private politics board.
In addition to “regular” birth control having abortifacient qualities as an intentional second and third back-up mechanism to its primary aim of preventing ovulation, there mandate also includes intentional primary abortifacients. It covers “all Food and Drug Administration approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity.” That includes Plan B and Ella.
Interesting. I must not have access to that one. Either way, some support from our Orthodox sisters and brothers would sure be helpful! Can you relate any of the trends of the discussion taking place? Are we likely to gain support from the Orthodox community?
off topic
We’d love to have you! Ask away when you’re ready!
Will do, I appreciate it! Anyplace that takes their perogies that seriously is a place I need to go at least once!
