Pro-life activism stops pro-abortion efforts to quash free speech at abortion "clinics"

In this season of Advent, we are grateful for this small victory!

No one can deny that the pro-abortion lobby in Westchester County has political muscle. Since the spring they have been pressing through their supporters in the Wetchester County Legislature to muzzle the free speech rights of protestors outside Planned Parenthood, and other abortion chambers.

Up until now, we and other pro-life groups have been working quietly to stop these efforts. And we have been partially successful, having eliminated some of the absurd ideas (bubble zones, etc) that were originally being considered.

However - the legislation finally presented out of committee to the full legislative body still seriously infringed on the basic first amendment rights of peaceful, pro-lifers who go to protest abortion. More on this in future postings.

We're pleased to report that over 40 pro-life people spoke out at the County Legislative meeting last night (December 12th, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe), including lawyers, sidewalk counselors and victims of abortion. We conclusively demonstrated that the legislation was a disgraceful attack on American values of tolerance and free speech, and the bill was sent back to committee. So the bill should be dead for this year.

Over the next several days we will be posting video from the meeting, as well as letters from attorneys and other sources, which supported the right of pro-life people to speak out peacefully at abortion chambers.

You could feel the influence of the Holy Spirit within the legislative chambers last night. Prayers, Our Lady of Guadalupe and all the pro lifers helped. Thanks be to God.

A big public thank you to God and to Our Lady! Might it not be significant that this horrendous bill was voted out of committee on Our Lady's feast of the Immaculate Conception and then re-assigned to committee on her feast of Guadalupe?

Our Lady of Guadalupe Rosarians had a Mass at St. Francis of Assisi (Rockland County) at 12 Noon. We put all of OUR PRO-LIFE work under her protection and direction. We prayed for our brothers and sisters witnessing in Westchester and especially asked all attending the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to pray Our Lady of Guadalupe to come to you immediate assistance. HOW GREAT IS THE POWER OF PRAYER! EVERY VOTER MUST KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT PLANNED PARENTHOOD- THEY ARE PREDATORS THAT'S SINGULAR MISSION IS PROFIT- HENCE- P.P."PROFITABLE PREDATORS"
