ACTION ALERT: ABQ City Council Meeting Monday, May 6^th

REMINDER: TONIGHT COUNCILOR GROUT PROPOSES TO RE-DIRECT PLANNED PARENTHOOD FUNDING TO HOMELESS YOUTH

As we reported Friday, ABQ City Councilor Renee Grout proposes to re-direct $250,000 Planned Parenthood funding to homeless youth and women’s shelter. We encourage concerned citizens to attend the Albuquerque City Council meeting TODAY: Monday, June 6 at 5:00 PM to voice your concerns and support councilor Renee Grout’s proposal, R-22-46.

If you are unable to attend, please make sure to contact Albuquerque City Councilors below and urge them to support R-22-46 to re-direct abortion funding to address the massive homelessness problem in the city.

“Our response as a City to the current homelessness crisis is more crucial and urgent than supporting Planned Parenthood at this time, ” said Councilor Renee Grout. “This allocation will have a much greater impact on our community than funding services that not all taxpayers agree with and many believe is immoral.”

FACT CHECK ON ABQ FORCED TAXPAYER FUNDING OF ABORTION

The vast majority of Americans, including pro-choice individuals OPPOSE forced taxpayer funding of abortions.

Planned Parenthood abortion corporation has a vast political operation in New Mexico called “Planned Parenthood Votes,”and “Planned Parenthood Action Fund,” what prevents our taxpayer funds used against political opponents? Is this a political payback?

Due to New Mexico’s lack of ANY protections for women and unborn children from abortion, one clinic has sent over 50 women to the emergency room — including the death of Keisha Atkins. Who is liable when something goes wrong?

Why was the vote to fund Planned Parenthood abortion corporation last month not listed on any agenda? Why was the public kept in the dark about this vote?

Planned Parenthood of New Mexico’s Albuquerque clinic performs surgical, D & E or dismemberment abortions up to 5 months gestation. On average, Planned Parenthood of New Mexico brings in $4.7 million in annual revenue. Why do they NEED taxpayer dollars?

NMAFL EXCLUSIVE FROM CITY COUNCILOR DAN LEWIS:

“Those who support abortion centers taking the lives of innocent baby girls are the real anti-women extremists,” said Councilor Dan Lewis, (photo above left). “Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, Democrat or Republican, I don’t know anyone who is proud of the fact that Albuquerque is considered the abortion capital of the nation, and I believe most people in our city do not support tax-payer funded abortions.”

NMAFL applauds the efforts of Councilors Dan Lewis, Renee Grout and Louie Sanchez for opposing the City of Albuquerque’s unprecedented forced taxpayer funding of abortions.
