2024 March for Life
The Third Annual Connecticut March for Life drew over 2,000 people to Hartford to proclaim that all life is sacred from conception to natural death. In a state that has almost no limits on abortion, and is a sanctuary state for abortion providers, the March was a big success.

Legislative Committee Votes to Support Constitutional Amendment on Abortion and to Include Gender-Identity under the Protections for Sex Discrimination

After receiving 230 testimonies opposed, and only 8 in support, the Government Administration and Elections Committee voted out proposed legislation, Senate Joint Resolution 4, which redefines "sex" discrimination through a constitutional amendment to include pregnancy termination (abortion) and "gender-identity and expression and sexual orientation" among another items. Obviously, the stage was set for passage of the bill prior to the public hearing. The hearing was just a formality.
The language of SJ 4 redefines sex discrimination to include "but is not limited to, discrimination, in intent or effect, based on pregnancy, including preventing, initiating, continuing or terminating a pregnancy; sexual orientation; gender identity and expression; and related health care. " It also actually redefines "sex" to not just mean male or female, but any gender identity a person assumes. This constitutional amendment will have far reaching impacts.
