2014-05-14 Upcoming Pro-Life Events and News Washtenaw County and Beyond

Partial list as of May 14th, 2014 Compiled by Sandie Weathers

UPDATE: Join the effort to call out the U of M on this despicable exhibit:   "4,000 Years for Choice: Changing Culture, Creating History, and Honoring Stories of Reproductive Freedom" at the University of Michigan. We have also had 4000 years of Racism, Incest, Rape, Spousal and Child Abuse... And like ABORTION, none are worthy of a celebration. They are all immoral and not worthy actions to be condoned by a Civilized, Progressive and Just Society!  Exhibit is being shown in Lane Hall, 204 S. State St. until May 29th according to info on U-M FB page.  The exhibit is co-sponsored by the OB/GYN Dept with The Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department.  To learn more go to: http://www.4000yearsforchoice.com/  FB event: https://www.facebook.com/events/261217974034422/?ref=52&source=1 To learn about efforts underway to call out the UM, go to: http://pro-lifeactionnetworkblog.blogspot.com/

UPDATE From Dr. Monica Miller, CPLC regarding efforts in MI with 20 Week Pain-Capable Abortion Ban.
Dear Defenders of Life--  I want to thank you for your many prayers for today's meeting with Mayor Frank Brock of Lathrup Village--  THE MEETING WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.  Indeed, I would say that we left the meeting with all that we could have gotten out of it at this stage of the discussion.  Mayor Brock was very cordial, warm and open --  AND he is in favor of doing something regarding the 20 week pain-capable ban that we proposed to him--   We discussed the possible votes on the city council that will determine the outcome-- and all we need is 3 out of 5- and the mayor is one of those votes.  BUT--  FIRST, and this was expected--- the mayor is going to run all this by the city attorney.  We urged that before any final decision is made--  especially if they are inclined to NOT go forward--that the city attorney FIRST talk with Robert Muise of the American Freedom Law Center who attended today's meeting and has drafted an ordinance to comply with LV zoning laws.  Brock said that he would urged such a discussion. The mayor said that he expected to get back to us within 30 days. PLEASE PRAY--   we must pray!  We have done all can at this stage of our efforts!    What happens in LV will help us go forward in the other municipalities!

Bumper Sticker Idea: Have you been bothered that many American’s who support and promote abortion, are appalled by the practice of water boarding? There seems to be an inconsistency in that thought. Well, I think I have the perfect bumper sticker to point out the inconsistency. "I'd rather be water boarded than aborted! How about you?”
