The City of Chicago City Council just passed an ordinance to limit the ability of pro-lifers to witness at abortuaries and to abortion-bound women in Chicago. It establishes a 50-foot buffer around abortion mills and 8-foot buffers around any abortuary-bound woman. Fines for violating these buffers are up to $500.00.
This is clearly aimed at the 40 Days for Life effort that has saved over 150 babies this cycle. However, its potential nationwide ramifications are painfully obvious. It is so blatantly draconian that even the ACLU has voiced opposition to the First Amendment attack that is at the heart of this ordinance. Mayor Daley can still veto this bill. Our colleagues at Les Femmes have more details and contact information. Your action is needed now!
