“Rush Hour Rally against Clinic Violence”
July 26, 2010
Please come to “Rush Hour Rally against Clinic Violence” at Planned Parenthood of New Mexico, 719 San Mateo NE on Friday, July 30 from 4:30 ?” 6 pm.
Operation Rescue, a rabidly anti-abortion group which has ties to the individual who murdered Dr. George Tiller – an abortion provider – in Wichita last year, has staff in Albuquerque now. They’ve been seen outside Planned Parenthood along with their “Truth Truck” – a large rolling billboard covered with graphic images of bloody fetuses meant to harass and intimidate patients and staff at the clinics, upset neighbors and disrupt nearby businesses.
We are asking staff, friends and supporters to stand with us and tell Operation Rescue they are not welcome in Albuquerque. We know they have the worst of intentions for us, and we want to let them know in advance they are in for a fight. We’re hoping for a strong turnout and good media coverage. Some young pro-choice activists have created this Facebook page for the event – http://www.facebook.com/home.php? #! /event. php? eid=141945999150468&ref=mf
We know that you do not condone the harassment and intimidation that Operation Rescue employs against health care clinics providing abortion services. We hope you will join us in telling Operation Rescue that they will not be allowed to engage in domestic terrorism in Albuquerque.
Thank you!
