5 Most Egregious Things

6/14/2016

 

The 5 Most Egregious Things to Happen at City Council Tonight:

Tonight was the "Public Hearing" on 1548-2016. Thanks to everyone who came out. For those who missed it, here were the five most egregious things to happen...

​
5: Teeny Tiny Room

Seriously, did they look for the smallest room possible? There was room in the hearing, counting standing room, for maybe 60 people.

​
4: Dozens Locked Out

Because City Council choose such a small location, dozens who wanted to attend were locked out of the building.

​
3: City Police Officer Lied

Columbus police officer Nicole, who occasionally worked as a private duty police officer at Founder's, told city council members of her experiences with volunteers. One anecdote that she shared was that volunteers would lie to women by telling them that the abortion clinic had employed a known sex offender, when that was not true. Except, it was true. Read all about it here: http://www.gcrtl.org/blog/abortion-provider-indicted-on-child-pornography-charges

​

Note: updated post includes a link at the bottom of this entry to the full hearing.  You can watch Officer Nicole lie about this at the 1:05:27 point.

​
2: Public Testimony Limited
Although billed as a public hearing which would allow proponents and opponents of the proposal to testify for/against the law in 3-minute, alternating witness statements, City Council filled the time with member statements, a presentation from their attorney, and the statements of one officer mentioned above. In total, only about fifteen minutes of the 5:30-7:00pm hearing were allotted to opponent speakers.

​
1: It Was All A Farce
It was all a farce anyway, and it was obvious that this was little more than for-show hearing. City Council already showed its hand that it intends to act on this proposal next Monday.

We aren't going to let it happen without trying to stop it, though.

In in less than a week, we have gathered thousands of postcards from opponents of the proposed law, and more than 500 have signed our petition (www.gcrtl.org/city-council). Join us!

Watch the full hearing.  To skip to the part where Officer Nicole lies about an abortion doctor being charged as a sex offender, forward to the 1:05:27 mark when Councilwoman Brown asks her about her experiences.

So typical of our Topsy Turvy government at all levels and NOT being for the people. A voice cannot be heard but the devil wants to prevail! And My tax money pays the salaries for such lowly and unconsciousable beings

Hey friends! Thanks for all of your work. A quick update - after all of our work and the efforts of other opponents, City Council offered amendments that removed the portions of this proposal that we most strenuously opposed. Take a look at our summary of the language, our guidance to pro-life activists, and even consider making a donation to support our work on this issue at www.gcrtl.org/city-council. Thanks! -BV
