I received this email from Eric Scheidler today. Check it out:
The weekend after next brings two exciting pro-life events to
Illinois, but before I fill you in, I have an urgent action item
for you on the embattled Illinois Parental Notice Act.
It took 14 years and a huge court battle to finally get this 1995
act put into force, but then the Illinois Department of Financial
and Professional Regulation decided to enact a 90-day “grace
period” to give abortionists time to prepare for the new policy.
That grace period was supposed to end TODAY. But now the board has
approved ANOTHER extension.
Tomorrow, they’ll decide how much MORE time to give abortionists to
perform abortions on minor girls without informing their parents.
Please CALL GOVERNOR QUINN and urge him to instruct the Department
of Financial and Professional Regulation to END THE DELAY and allow
the Parental Notification Act to go into effect:
Governor Quinn, Springfield Office: 217-782-0244
Governor Quinn, Chicago Office: 312-814-2121
Call BOTH the Springfield and Chicago offices, and be sure to pass
this message on to all your pro-life friends.
*** BIG PRO-LIFE WEEKEND NOVEMBER 13-14 ***
And now to tell you about the exciting upcoming weekend packed with
pro-life events in Aurora and Chicago.

(Please note that I’ve bumped the regular “3rd Saturday” protest
back a week this month, and changed the start time slightly, to
accommodate Fr. Euteneuer’s visit.)
3. CHICAGO: Sidewalk Counseling Seminar Sat. 11/14
Also on November 14, the Pro-Life Action League hosts a critical
sidewalk counseling seminar at St. Mary of the Angels Church in
Chicago, just days before the new “Bubble Zone” is set to begin.
Attorney TOM BREJCHA of the Thomas More Society will explain how
sidewalk counselors can continue to save babies from abortion
despite this infringement of their freedom of speech.
ANN SCHEIDLER will present training course for new sidewalk
counselors and KATIE RIEDY of the Women’s Center will detail the
help available through pregnancy resource centers.
Registration costs $20 and includes refreshments and seminar
materials. Register here:

I hope you can be a part of this exciting pro-life weekend — and
please be sure to call Governor Quinn TODAY, Students.
Yours for Life,
– Eric
