CHICAGO,

Sept. 30

/Christian Newswire/ — Members of the Pro-Life Action
League and attorneys from the Thomas More Society
will attend the Human Relations Committee meeting
of the Chicago City Council TODAY at 9:00 AM
(Central) Wednesday, Sept. 30. The Committee is
considering an amendment to the Municipal Code to
prohibit picketing within 50 feet of any medical clinic.

These organizations strongly suspect this
amendment is aimed at preventing pro-life people
from praying and reaching out to clients of abortion
facilities with information on alternatives to abortion.

Pro-life activists routinely stand on the public sidewalk
at the entrances to abortion clinics in Chicago to offer
information to anyone seeking services at the abortion
clinics. The groups know of no incidents of
intimidation, harassment or threats as referred to in
the amendment introduced on Sept. 9 by Alderman Vi
Daley (43rd Ward).

A copy of the proposed amendment to the Chicago
Municipal Code is available upon request. Please call
or email Tom Ciesielka at 312-422-1333, tc@tcpr.net.

REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE PRO-LIFE ACTION
LEAGUE AND THE THOMAS MORE SOCIETY WILL
BE AVAILABLE FOR COMMENT AFTER THE
CHICAGO CITY COUNCIL MEETING. CONTACTS:

Ann Scheidler, Pro-Life Action League – 312-965-1030
(cell)

Peter Breen, Thomas More Society – 630-544-4455
(cell)

Tom Ciesielka, TC Public Relations – 312-422-1333
