The Upper Connecticut River Valley Chapter of Americans United is hosting the third of its series of monthly discussions on First Freedom First topics. This month's discussion is on "Reproductive Health." Our freedom to make choices concerning our own health in keeping with our personal beliefs is endangered by public officials who seek to impose narrow religious views into law and public policy. Our "first freedom" will be preserved only by safeguarding separation of church and state and protecting religious liberty.
A short film will be shown. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please call 802-649-1496 or email americansunitedvt-nh@hotmail.com
