Urgent: Chicago 'Bubble Zone'
From Eric Scheidler:I need your urgent help RIGHT NOW to stop a proposed ordinance in the City of Chicago that would be DEVASTATING to our pro-life efforts, including sidewalk counseling.Chicago abortionists -- led by Planned Parenthood -- are pushing the Chicago City Council to adopt a new "bubble zone" ordinance, which would prohibit pro-lifers from coming within eight feet of any person approaching an abortion clinic.The bubble zone would make sidewalk counseling nearly impossible within the city limits! Such a chilling attack on free speech could even halt the 40 Days for Life campaign going on right now!The proposed ordinance was passed by the Human Relations committee last week, and could be voted on by the City Council as early as this Wednesday.Please ACT NOW to stop the Chicago Bubble Zone and protect free speech. Here's what YOU can do:1. CALL Mayor Daley's Office TODAY at 312-744-3300.Tell them you oppose this unconstitutional restriction on your freedom of speech. (I called and they are keeping track!)2. Join the PROTEST at City Hall Wednesday 10/7 at 9 a.m.Meet me at 121 N. LaSalle Street in downtown Chicago to oppose the bubble zone. I'll bring plenty of signs.---> MAP: http://tinyurl.com/chicagocityhall3. FORWARD this message to all your Chicago-area friends.We've got to flood Mayor Daley's office with calls against Bubble Zone ordinance. Mobilize your friends and family!I can't emphasize enough how fatal this Bubble Zone would be. Pro-life counselors are saving babies every week by talking intimately with abortion-bound mothers outside the abortuaries.The Bubble Zone would effectively KILL this kind of compassionate outreach, with a $500 fine for simply trying to talk to a woman about choosing life for her baby.The fact that the abortionists are trying so hard to stop sidewalk counseling is a powerful sign of how effective it is. Please join the effort to save sidewalk counseling in Chicago!Yours for Life,-- EricP.S. I'm planning to hold a press conference Wednesday during theprotest at City Hall, so please try to come if you can!
