The Health and Human Services Committee of the Montgomery County Council is scheduled to revisit their attempt to strangle the four pro-life pregnancy centers in the county. The Council held a public hearing on the matter on Dec 1st. I attended it and recorded it. Between then and now I've been posting snippets of my recordings on this blog, as well as some analysis. These can be found by putting "Montgomery County Council" in the search box.
The Catholic Standard online edition has two posts that are worthy of study. One gives the text of the Maryland bishops' statement called "Set Out in Haste". Ladies and gentlemen, I knew Maryland's abortion rate was higher than the national rate, but I didn't realize it was 38% higher. We Marylanders should be ashamed.
The second highlights Birthright of Wheaton, directed by Carol Buchanan. At the bottom, she notes that George Leventhal, chair of that HHS committee, cynically refused to visit a pregnancy center, stating that he would not get a candid view. What Mr Leventhal failed to divulge is that he is a public supporter of NARAL. That was brought out by one of my postings on this topic.
Please contact the Montgomery County Council and demand that they kill this bill. Thank you.
