BOSTON — Braving the frigid temperatures and icy sidewalks over the weekend, pro-lifers gathered at 1055 Commonwealth Avenue, the site of a Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts clinic, as part of a nationwide effort to push Congress and President Donald Trump to defund the organization.
This past Saturday, 218 such rallies happened across the nation, with three occurring in Massachusetts. Speakers addressed the gathered crowds, giving testament to their own pro-life vision and the varied reasons behind their support for their cause.
Governor Dan Malloy, a Democrat, has proved a reliable liberal in the past. But budget problems in Connecticut and Malloy's unwillingness to raise state taxes again have unions worried about his threats to reduce expenditures by laying off state workers if he can't get cost savings elsewhere.
