Title

Rescinding Philadelphia City Council Resolution 070551 “Urging Philadelphia to Adopt Status as a Pro-Choice City” as adopted by Philadelphia City Council on June 7, 2007.

Body

WHEREAS, Philadelphia City Council adopted Resolution 070551 “Urging Philadelphia to Adopt Status as a Pro-Choice City” on June 7, 2007; and

WHEREAS, Resolution 070551 was totally unnecessary; and

WHEREAS, Resolution 070551 is divisive; and

WHEREAS, Resolution 070551 disrespects the Roman Catholic and other Pro-Life communities; and

WHEREAS, Resolution 070551 was a waste of City Council's time and effort; and

WHEREAS, It is inappropriate for such a Resolution to represent the collective mind of the entire City of Philadelphia, when it was passed by the pathetically narrow majority of only 9-to-8; now therefore

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, That City Council hereby rescinds Philadelphia City Council Resolution 070551 “Urging Philadelphia to Adopt Status as a Pro-Choice City” as adopted by Philadelphia City Council on June 7, 2007.
