Let me briefly rehash some of 14-year-old county history. Around that time, NARAL implemented a strategy whereby they would force pro-life pregnancy centers to denounce themselves as inferior to abortion providers. This happened throughout the country.
It happened in Montgomery County MD as well. Given the heavily pro-abortion Democratic makeup of the county council, it sailed right through, although not without considerable pro-life opposition. However, it was passed and Ike Leggett, then County Executive, gleefully signed it into law. Fortunately, local pro-life pregnancy centers filed suit and the measure went down in flames. It should be noted that Leggett, along with many other council members, were touted by NARAL as "partners of choice".
So why, oh why, does the Catholic Business Network see fit to give this man an award at their December 1st gala? The purpose of this gala is to fund scholarships for needy students. How many would-be students were aborted, thanks to Leggett and his cronies, throughout the years in Montgomery County MD?
The address for this thing is not on their website. However, we do know that this gala will happen Friday, December 1, at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. The address is 5701 Mannelli Road in Rockville.
Their phone number is not on their website (Gee! I wonder why!) But there is a "contact us" page where you can leave comments. Moreover, the president's email is listed. Please ask them to rescind that ill-advised invitation. Otherwise, we will most likely picket this gathering. Please advise, via comments if you'd be interested in joining a picket, if that be the case.
