All praise Jesus Christ! The citizens of the city of Albuquerque have collected over 26,000 (more than twice the 12,000 required) signatures in 16 days (we were supposed to have 60!) to place a 20-week abortion ban on the ballot for the municipal elections in October. It is only because of our Lord that this was possible. This should be on the local news sometime tonight, and if I can find a link after the news story airs, I’ll post it (probably won’t be until tomorrow, though). In the meantime, keep this in your prayers, as the city may try to drag its feet approving the signatures, and an advertising blitz by the legions of Satan will be imminent once the signatures are approved.
 
The pro-aborts are already trying to smear this campaign as “out-of-state groups”, etc. Read below:
ProgressNow NM:
Last month an out-of-state group announced their plans to put a Texas-style abortion ban on our own city election ballot this October.

No. It was the individual Catholic Churches of the City of Albuquerque, Project Defending Life of Albuquerque, FaithWorks (an Albuquerque-based Catholic gift store), the Knights of Columbus of NM, Students for Life of the University of New Mexico, among others who were the primary pushers of this petition. If you’re going to blame someone, blame the Catholic Church.
We just left a press conference where they turned in more than 26,000 signatures to force the city council to put the question on the ballot.

We needed 12,000. We had 16 days to get it signed, when we were supposed to have 60. That’s not outside groups - that’s a pro-life (and primarily Catholic) city getting involved.
Even though the city attorney and a Republican city councilor have said it’s unconstitutional, they have an agenda to shame and judge Albuquerque’s women.

Whether or not it is unconstitutional is up to the courts. And no, our agenda is that we’re embarrased at being the world’s late-term abortion capital!
Every pregnancy is different and making a decision to end a pregnancy is a deeply personal and often complex for a woman and her family. The government has no role in these deeply personal decisions, but that isn’t stopping these out-of-state groups from trying.

Again, it was we locals who pushed this through with the help of Jesus Christ. Every pregnancy is different. That’s why we need to help the mothers - and abortion is not the answer.
We respect Albuquerque’s women and that’s why we’re fighting so hard to stop this measure and we need your help.

No, you don’t respect Albuquerque’s women. And that’s why we’ll keep fighting to make sure this passes. The money, by the way, is on your side, not ours.
They brought a lot of names to the city clerk today, but we know there are a lot more who respect Albuquerque women.

There are many more who respect Albuquerque women - only a fraction of us signed the petition.
