Earlier this morning, the Greensboro police arrested
Christians for peacefully and legally praying and exercising their
religious rights on the sidewalks outside an abortion clinic. This was
actually the second time in the past couple of days they were arrested
for praying...
Not even in communist China would police arrest three men for
walking and praying on the street. Since Governor Cooper refused to
close abortion clinics as part of his administration's order to cease
elective medical procedures these men were simply exercising their
constitutional rights to pray outside one of the clinics that remain
open.
Abortion is an elective procedure and Governor Cooper should
have closed abortion clinics and urged abortion providers to donate
their PPE and other equipment to coronavirus response, just as he did
with hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers that perform elective
procedures.
As our country comes together to battle the threat of
COVID-19 (coronavirus), Americans are heroically rising to the
challenge of social distancing and helping the vulnerable.
However, there is one clear outlier—the abortion
industry.
It is irresponsible and dangerous for abortionists to put
patients at risk of contracting the virus and to consume masks, gloves
and other personal protective equipment in short supply.
Would
you consider taking a minute today to join over 3,600+ of your
neighbors who have signed our click-to-contact letter to Governor
Cooper and Secretary of NCDHHS Secretary Dr. Mandy K. Cohen, and ask
them to close abortion clinics and redirect PPE and other medical
equipment to our state's needed coronavirus
response?
Sincerely,
Tami Fitzgerald
