County Council Hearings - Sometimes the Truth Hurts!


Please study this photo carefully.  The man testifying is Bob Nelson, with whom I have worked in the past.  He makes a number of excellent points; you can listen to him HERE.

Of particular note, though, is the woman sitting behind him, wearing the striped shirt and glasses.  She is wearing a NOW sticker so you can guess what her perspective is.  My camcorder was already full, and I didn't have my other camera ready at the time, but at one point she was so displeased with what Bob had to say that her fingers were literally in her ears!  I truly regret that I was not prepared to capture that telling scene!  Even here you can see that she is quite disconcerted, maybe on the verge of a migraine.  Perhaps it's because Bob 1) questioned the Council's fixation on pro-life centers while ignoring real health problems 2) pointed out that the pro-life centers provide real service to women while not charging Montgomery County one red cent.

One thing that Bob pointed out is that the Washington Post, a generally pro-abortion publication, took the Council to task for its obviously one-sided approach to the matter in their November 23rd editiorial.  Perhaps, though, that could only be expected when over half of the Council members are "partners of choice" according to NARAL.
