Eve McNeilAnother alumni participant in last Friday™s nationwide rallies against the HHS mandate was Eve (Bouchey ™97) McNeil, who was one of the speakers at the Reno, Nev., event. œWe don™t think Orthodox Jews should have to buy other people™s pork sandwiches. We don™t think Quakers should have to pay for anybody™s ammunition. The law that brought us out today is truly that extreme, Mrs. McNeil told a cheering crowd. œThe United States Department of Health and Human Services has violated Catholics™ right to their own conscience. They have decided that their opinion and their values matter more than ours. As a woman and as an American, I disagree!

Yet the moment that generated the loudest applause was when Mrs. McNeil declared, œIf there is a ˜War on Women,™ it is a war on Lady Liberty!

If any other alumni have stories or photos to share from protests they attended, please send them to tacweb@thomasaquinas.edu. Thank you!
