Help out in Illinois
As you may have heard already, there have been a bunch of anti-choice protests happening in Aurora, Illinois where Planned Parenthood is building a health center.
Four days before the scheduled opening of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Aurora, an estimated 800 abortion protesters huddled around community religious leaders Saturday morning and called for closure of the new clinic and an end to abortion.Standing in an empty field in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic building, which is scheduled to open Tuesday, clergy from across denominations called for the protesters to band together to work against the clinic and its presence in the city. The event was in response to statements earlier in the week from Chicago and suburban religious leaders who spoke out in favor of the clinic and women's reproductive rights.
Planned Parenthood is working hard to make sure that the center will open on time, but they could use your help. Because what happens in Aurora, happens to all of us. Take action here.
