Tell Austin City Council: Vote
Austin City Council to Vote on Important Ordinance on April 8 On April 8, Austin City Council members will introduce an ordinance to require anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) to display signs that ensure women visiting an Austin CPC know that they will not receive comprehensive birth control or abortion services or referrals. Click here to learn more about CPCs and the signage ordinance This measure would require CPCs to be honest and straightforward, so that women know up front whether the facility will suit their needs. Having a more complete picture about the services that are and are not offered at CPCs will also help provide women with context for information they do receive. The goal of this ordinance is to empower women to make decisions about their health care, and decide if a so-called "Center for Pregnancy Concern" is concerned about the same things as they are. This would be only the second ordinance of its kind in the United States, and our City Council members need to hear from as many Austin residents as possible who support this proposed ordinance! Here's what we are asking you to do right now: 2. Join us in support of this ordinance at the City Council meeting being held at City Hall on April 8, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. For more information about the meeting or to RSVP contact Sara Cleveland at (512) 462-1661 or via email. Please show our Council Members that Austinites overwhelmingly support this proposed ordinance! With your help we can make sure pregnant women in Austin have all the information they need to make decisions about themselves and their families!
