As things heat up in the city of Albuquerque, we must daily ask ourselves; What am I willing to do to protect those dying in the wombs of their mothers? Am I merely willing to talk about how horrible it is? Or am I willing to “expose the deeds of darkness” (Eph. 5:11) and do what it takes to help women choose life for themselves and their children.
It’s no surprise that as we move forward we are met with resistance by those who oppose life. One by one across this nation our constitutional freedoms are being being stripped away and Albuquerque is no different.
We must never shirk back in the face of opposition. We must stand together and be united. On Tuesday, August 27th the Board of County Commissioners will attempt to restrict the First Amendment of the Constitution, the freedom of speech and the right to peacefully assemble, to the unincorporated areas of Bernalillo County including Los Ranchos de Albuquerque.
Abortionist Larry Leeman lives in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque and for 3 years has lurked behind the scenes even though he performs abortions through 22 weeks at the University of New Mexico Center for Reproductive Health (UNMCRH). He also teaches UNM Residents to perform abortions. He purposefully takes innocent lives on the days he is not delivering babies at UNM Hospital! His community needs to know what he is doing to children with our tax dollars.
Project Defending Life in conjunction with its legal counsel issues the following statement on a potential picketing ban to be adopted by Bernalillo County: “The contemplated action of the County Board of Commissioners to adopt a picketing ban presents a grave concern for the civil liberties of County residents. The Supreme Court of the United States has a long-standing tradition of protecting debate in public streets and sidewalks. A ban of this nature will bar the free-flow of expressive and political ideas that is a hallmark of our Nation’s devotion to democracy.”
Please contact (call and email) the two sponsoring Bernalillo County Commissioners TODAY and ask them not to cower to the pro-abortion lobby that wants to provide anonymity to those brutally murdering children. Remind them that by passing this ordinance they will be infringing upon our rights as American citizens by restricting residential picketing in the unincorporated areas of Bernalillo County including Los Ranchos de Albuquerque.
