Abortion foes have a right to protest - even in New York

By Mary Claire Kendall
Friday, November 14th 2008, 3:28 PM
In September - on the same day a national campaign of prayer and action to end abortion was launched - the New York City Council introduced a Clinic Access Bill.
A hearing on the legislation is scheduled for Tuesday; with 27 Council co-sponsors already, passage is all but assured.
Before that happens, and the city's powers-that-be hail a victory for women's rights, it's worth considering the other side of the ledger: the rights of the children yet to be born, and of those who try to advocate on their behalf.
If you accept that abortion takes human life, then it's imperative to communicate this truth to New York City women who, tragically, live in a place known as the "abortion capital" - more abortions are performed here than in any other American city.

I added to comments on the Daily News web site

This is entirely a symbolic law to protect the commercial exploitation of women by abortion industry. At any abortion clinic in New York City where there is a protest taking place, you only hear prayers. Mothers are asked to reconsider -- and let the child already living within them to continue to live. There are people ready to accept with love every single child who would be aborted and support mothers during their pregnancy.

This law would only serve silence that final voice who would make the last appeal to mother that her unborn child should be allowed to live.
