Albuquerque: Abortion bill is likely to be on city’s ballot

[TexasTowelie]

A public vote on limiting abortions in Albuquerque appears likely.

Activists who want to restrict abortions in the city say they’ve turned in more than twice the number of signatures needed to get a proposed ordinance on the ballot this fall.

Tara Shaver, who helped organize the effort, said the group submitted its last batch of signatures to the city clerk on Thursday, bringing the total to nearly 27,000.

Staffers in the clerk’s office were already working during the afternoon to see how many of the signatures can be verified as having come from registered voters in Albuquerque. Supporters of the abortion ordinance need 12,091 signatures to force the city to hold an election on the issue.

1. Oh goody, another vote on somebody else's rights! I guess

if I owned a clinic, I'd just move it outside of the city limits.

2. How about Mayor Berry ?

Will he or does he have a position on this?
Just curious ~ I'm voting against him.

3. Hiow about it, voters ?

Let's pass a bill requiring all men who want Viagra to undergo an anal probe first.
