December Event

On December 14th we will be supporting Mom’s Demand  Actionas they mark the 5th anniversary of their founding with a  Sandy Hook Memorial event.  The meeting will be held at the First Congregational Church of Ann Arbor, 608 East William Street from7-8:30 PM. Let’s add our voices to the growing chorus so that together we can bring an end to the epidemic of gun violence ravaging our country!  This problem impacts everyone, but women and children disproportionately.

On Saturday afternoon, January 27 our Chapter will be picketing one of the two so-called “crisis pregnancy centers” (CPCs) in Washtenaw County:   Arbor Woman on East Liberty or Family Life Services on Packard. The National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) defines CPCs as “fake health-care clinics that lie to, shame and intentionally mislead women about their reproductive-health-care options to block them from accessing abortion care.”  Crisis PRegnancy Centers  Women facing an unintended pregnancy deserve medically accurate, comprehensive and unbiased information.  Unfortunately, Michigan is one of  12 states that provide CPCs direct state funding, creating the false impression that they are part of the mainstream medical community – NOT!  (TIME Magazine:  The Abortion Battleground: Crisis Pregnancy Centers)    The exact time and meeting place for picketing will be announced later, but SAVE THE DATE!  Interested in being on the planning committee for this?  Call Cheryl Farmer at 734-481-1804.  We will be making signs at our January 11^th meeting.
