Rockford Pregnancy Care Center Files Lawsuit against State of IL
Offering love and help for mom's and babies, daily sacrifice, compassion, and joyfully sharing the gift of friendship and life… this is a description of the Pregnancy Care Center of Rockford. Again, they are courageously and publicly defending truth and love by sacrificing themselves to save lives and souls.
From Alliance Defending Freedom:
On behalf of the Diocese of Springfield and an Illinois pro-life pregnancy center, Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys filed a federal lawsuit Thursday challenging a state law that forces religious organizations to hire employees who violate their religious beliefs on reproductive issues like abortion.
“Illinois can’t force pro-life religious organizations to bend their knee to the state’s secular view of abortion,” said ADF Senior Counsel Mark Lippelmann. “The Constitution protects the right of religious organizations to choose workers who will advance—rather than contradict—their religious beliefs. We urge the court to uphold these organizations’ fundamental right to serve their communities consistent with their faith.”
The Diocese of Springfield affirms, proclaims, and strives to live out the teachings of the Catholic Church throughout the state of Illinois, including indispensable beliefs about reproduction, marriage, and the dignity of human life. The Pregnancy Care Center of Rockford similarly seeks to live out the Christian faith regarding the dignity of human life and the nature of marriage by sharing the Gospel, advocating against abortion, advocating for Christian beliefs on reproduction, and providing pregnant women with much-needed counseling, services, and resources free of charge.
PLEASE keep the Pregnancy Care Center of Rockford in your prayers. Those who kill babies, mock God's gift of life, and promote the killing of little girls and boys in Rockford will again turn their hatred against the P.CC because the PCC stands for love and life.
