Most important Day of 2023
March 9th 2023 4:30pm RI statehouse, in house lounge
3 bills to protect against discrimination.
H5884, H5565 These two prevent your vaccine choice from being discriminated against (one for just covid vaccine, one for all vaccines)
H5916 prevents the covid vaccine from being mandated at all
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY TO SHOW UP AT THE STATEHOUSE FOR 2023. GRAB YOU FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND ANYONE YOU CAN, BRING YOUR KIDS. LEAVE WORK EARLY. THIS DAY IS THE MAJOR DAY TO TAKE A STAND.
..............
RI CALL-TO ACTION
3 Bills will be heard in the Judiciary committee TODAY MARCH 9th at 4:30pm
SUPPORT for these bills is Extremely important. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ACTION DAY OF 2023
SHOW UP IN PERSON. Show Bodies. Even if not giving verbal testimony. Show up. Gather your friends, family etc. If there was ever a time to leave work early. IT IS TODAY.
The bills being heard today will prevent discrimination and protect your medical choices specifically regarding vaccination.
THIS IS HUGE. This makes it so that jobs, schools, and anything else, can NOT take action against you for vaccine choices. Two bills are specific to only the Covid vaccine, 1 bill H5884 will protect discrimination with any vaccine choice.
1) EMAIL WRITTEN TESTIMONY. This is very important as it becomes part of the record on file, and can be referred to and read later. Not all members of the committee may be in attendance for verbal testimony.
• *Written Testimony must be submitted prior to 1:30 PM on Thurs March, in order for it to be provided to the members of the committee at the hearing and to be included in the meeting records. It is still good to email if you miss the deadline as the vote will not happen today, but they need to see how much SUPPORT for this prior to meeting.
2) Verbal Testimony. You will sign in on a sheet at the door of the house lounge.
This is NOT the time to debate vaccines or the covid vaccine and its safety or lack there of. These bills are about protecting the right to CHOICE and not being discriminated against. Having the vaccination debate will appear to make these bills just against vaccination. Which they are not. One will fully prevent ever mandating the covid vaccine, the other 2 are to not be discriminated against for your choices.
Please be sure your testimony speaks to how discrimination is not acceptable for any form of life, and it is important that this choice in our lives is not discriminated against anymore than our religious belief system, or our sexuality.
• Usually 2 minutes. You can make reference to, but do not read what you wrote in your e-mail. This is the time to speak directly and from the heart.
CLICK HERE to read the bills themselves
Example:
Dear House Judiciary
I am writing to SUPPORT bills H5565 and H5884
The citizens of RI deserve to have our private choices protected and not be discriminated against. There have been so many families that have trouble with jobs and college, and even what doctors they can see. Simply because they have opted out of 1 or more vaccines for their family. Religious rights has always been protected. Yet when we have a strongly held belief system and opt out of vaccines for our belief system, the choice not to vaccinate is till discriminated against in many ways. Which is discriminating against our religious rights at the same time. However, by context we are unable to file complaints for discrimination against our belief system. These two Bills are EXTREMELY important and I STRONGLY urge you to pass them onto the floor of the house. We need to protect our citizens and what choices and beliefs they have and do for their families. Too many have had unfair actions taken against them for not having a vaccine or more then one vaccine.
(any personal note you want to add insert here)
I urge you to vote to PASS bill H5884
Sincerely
xxxxxxx
Dear House Judiciary
I am writing to SUPPORT bill H5916
The covid vaccine should never be mandated under any circumstances. This technology is still in experimental stages. The definition of “vaccine” was even changed in medical reference writing to include this vaccine technology. Since it does not create the same type of reaction from T cells and what vaccines have been known to. This is something very new to our world. The disease itself shows very low to almost none of serious implications for anyone under the age of 21. Still low but not as low to most healthy adults. The at risk adults will still have the choice to recieve a medical procedure such as a vaccine if they want to, however no one should be mandated to get it. Families should be able to evaluate their own risk of disease vs risk of vaccine and determine what is best for them. Please PASS this bill, prevent any mandate of this vaccine or variation of this vaccine.
I ask you to support and pass bill H5916
Sincerely
xxxxxxx

A Faith Based Approach to Birth
The Systemic Erosion of Faith
The norms of our culture have systematically pulled wool over the eyes of Christ followers. Christ is no longer our all/everything but rather He has become a welcome appendage to the “wise” institutions of modern life.
Sure Christ is our healer but you must have health insurance and see a doctor regularly!
Sure Christ is our rabbi but you must attend a university!
Sure Christ is a knowledgeable God but I’d be a fool not to listen to doctors and scientists first!
Sure Christ created me and birth to work pretty well but I need a hospital and pharmakeia just in case!
We have opened the door to idolatry in every aspect of our lives for so long that it has become normalized, beyond that, it has become unthinkable heresy to rely solely on our Savior. In writing this I question whether we are faithful at all or have rather become pagans ourselves. This idolatry has crept in in the name of science and the “doctrines and commandments of men”.
Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ” Matthew 15:7-9
The more we have put our faith in the doctrines of men —> the more our faith has been eroded in Christ —> the more our human knowledge has failed us —> the more we have blamed Him for our faithlessness!
Faith precedes works, spiritual vision precedes physical manifestation. Humanity will not witness the Holy Spirit move on earth until it faithfully recognizes its presence, power, and preeminence. We’ve put all our eggs in the matrix’s basket, of course miracles and healings are few and far between. To our detriment, we’ve chosen to trust our own limited human power instead of the unlimited power and authority of Jesus Christ.
The Scales Are Falling
In light of the events of 2020 it is clear we’re in the midst of an awakening, not a new age enlightenment but a damascus-road-scales-falling-from-our-eyes awakening in which the commonly accepted approaches to health and well being of our human vessels are being called into question. Gratefully birth is included in this reevaluation. I propose that ‘new paradigm birth’ be like that of Peter’s water walk: “And when Peter came down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus”. What could birth be if women stepped out in faith trusting Christ to catch them?
Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve
“No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Luke 16:13
For so long we have deluded ourselves into believing that we can serve two masters, that we can serve God and men, The Truth and “science”, but “science” has been systematically bought and twisted. Gratefully, those who serve God and Truth are not at a loss for He is the author of true science. There is no knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and healing in the world apart from their source and, by the grace of God, our eyes have been opened to the pervasive and harmful counterfeit knowledge of our adversary.
All true science comes from God our creator. He created everything observable and unobservable, He created us, He created birth, if there is anyone we can trust our births to it’s undoubtedly Him. I believe that “science” (including modern obstetrics) as we tend to think of it has become corrupted, it has become a false religion. In the beginning Eve put her faith in “science”, in the tree of knowledge, (the word knowledge comes from the greek word ‘gnosis’) this knowledge was a false light leading to spiritual and physical death. Today we commit the same sin when we put our faith in fallible human knowledge instead of our Creator.
2 Timothy describes those who are “always learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth” How could anyone come to a knowledge of the truth while denying its source? This verse describes the state of our medical systems today. The ways in which we’ve commonly addressed issues pertaining to our corporeal bodies have strayed far from the truth and devolved into absurdity as exemplified by the fact that now upwards 30% of births end in Cesarean sections (Some hospitals have a 70% Cesarean rate) despite the fact that birth is a bodily function as inevitable as pooping.
Choosing Faith Over Fear
The truth is simple, the truth is accessible to everyone, the truth is a free gift. Therefore it will certainly not be found in a place which thrives by obscuring, gatekeeping, and charging for knowledge! The true, sacred, simplicity of birth cannot be supported by modern obstetrics which is rooted in the fallibility of God and His creation. It will only be realized when wholehearted faith and trust is placed in The Great Physician Himself.
Ultimately your birth choices come down to whether you trust God/insource or Men/outsource. The world has been systematically programming women with fear surrounding their bodies and birth for centuries and it takes conscious reprogramming on your part to rebuke the fear and literally cast it out like a spirit!
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18
Your fear is a byproduct of your belief that God is not really good and loving, if you believe that you’re believing the report of your adversary the devil. This is the same fear seeded in Eve in the garden when she believed that God was holding out on her but fear is a liar. Whose report will you believe?!
He (Satan) was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. John 8:44
In Closing
Faith without works is dead. Many christians will say they believe in Jesus, they’ll say He’s a good, loving God, and that they are “wonderfully made” but in a practical situation like birth they will (perhaps fearfully) choose to birth in an Apollonian temple AKA a hospital, with strangers, and pharmaceuticals. Denying themselves the opportunity to have to have a faith building encounter with their creator through birth. Thus the fullness of their faith will not manifest into action.
Clearly I’ve approached this topic from an extremely specific and spiritual point of view. Although I'm primarily writing to fellow believers I’m sure this may come across as baffling or offensive to non believers and believers alike. Take it or leave it. The birth world is inundated with all kinds of practical, fleshly advice but I maintain that all the birth education in the world is a bandaid for the gaping void of understanding women face spiritually. I believe the daughters of God are on the cusp of a paradigm shift toward a spiritual life that defies worldly wisdom and understanding. We just have to step out of our comfort zone to realize it.
“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” Roman 8:5-8
I pray that you take a faith based approach to your birth and that the perspective presented here strengthens your faith. No matter what path you choose for your birth let it be sprinkled with grace and the peace of surrender to a loving Father.
Be Blessed, Mary Ann
