McHENRY COUNTY CITIZENS FOR CHOICE (MCCC) is working together with
PLANNED PARENTHOOD,
ILLINOIS NOW and other pro-choice supporters to show support for the new Planned Parenthood full service women's health clinic in AURORA.
The clinic, at 3051 New York Street, is scheduled to open on September 18, but Aurora aldermen and MAYOR TOM WISNER are now saying the clinic might have to wait until an independent review of their approval process for occupancy permits is completed.
This is a direct result of the
JOE SCHEIDLER’S notorious
PRO-LIFE ACTION LEAGUE trying to make Aurora the center of the "war against abortion" in the US. National groups like
OPERATION RESCUE have shown up and positioned this opening as a national priority "battle" against contraception and abortion.
McHenry County citizens will be positively impacted by a Planned Parenthood clinic within easy access without traveling to Chicago. There will be more information coming in the next few days on other things we can do to help
The most immediate thing we can do is to attend the Aurora City Council Meeting to show support:
When: Tuesday, September 11 at 5: 30 pm
Location: Aurora City Council Chambers
2nd floor, City Hall, 44 E. Downer Place, Aurora
MCCC organizing a "share the ride" caravan. Contact them at them and let them know you want to participate. They will meet at the WALMART parking lot on RANDAL ROAD at 4:00 Tuesday. Signs will be provided.
I have to work Tuesday night, but my heart will be with these folks. And stand by for further information on what promises to be a prolonged struggle in a national spot light.
