RE: Proposal to Discuss a Resolution Banning Abortions in the City of Temecula Dear Mayor Rahn, Mayor Pro Tern Schwank, and City Council Members:
It has come to the attention of the Attorney General's Office that at the September 13, 2022 meeting of the Temecula City Council, a member of the City Council stated her intent to introduce a resolution that would purport to ban abortions in the City of Temecula. It is our understanding that such a resolution may be on the agenda for your next City Council meeting on September 27, 2022.
September 23, 2022
As I am sure you are well aware, local laws may not conflict with state laws. (See Cal.
Const. art. XI, § 7.) Local legislation that conflicts with the general laws of the state are void. (Cohen v. Board of Supervisors (1985) 40 Ca1.3d 277, 290; People ex rel Deukmejian v. County of Mendocino (1984) 36 Cal.3d 476, 484.) A conflict exists if the ordinance duplicates, contradicts, or enters an area occupied by general law, either expressly or by legislative implication. (Sherwin-Williams Co. v. City of Los Angeles (1993) 4 Cal.4th 893, 897.) The California Legislature and the California Supreme Court have declared time and again that California is a reproductive freedom state and that Californians have a right to access abortion. In 1981, the California Supreme Court held that "all women in this state rich and poor alike possess a fundamental constitutional right to choose whether or not to bear a child." (Comm. to Defend Reprod. Rights v. Myers (1981) 29 Cal.3d 252, 262.) Consistent with this precedent, the Legislature enacted the Reproductive Privacy Act (RPA), which codified a woman's fundamental right to procreative choice. (Health & Saf. Code, § 123462.) To that end, the Legislature forbid the state "and every county, city, town and municipal corporation" in the state from interfering with a woman's right to choose to bear a child or to obtain an abortion. (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 123464, subd. (c), 123466; see also Missionary Guadalupanas of Holy Spirit Inv. v. Rouillard (2019) 38 Cal.App.5th 421, 435 [abortions are a "basic health care service" and must be covered by health plans].)
Any attempt by the City of Temecula to limit an individual's ability to exercise their right to reproductive choice and bodily autonomy would be a violation of state law. California's Attorney General takes seriously his obligation to protect Californians' right to reproductive freedom. Our office will not hesitate to take legal action should a local regulation conflict with California state law.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
4�--

Hello,
I'm emailing you in response to the upcoming meeting about declaring Temecula as an "anti -abortion" city. The fact that this is even up for discussion is wrong on so many levels. Please vote against the declaration. It does not speak for the city of Temecula rather it only speaks for a group of people within the city. Please do what is right....vote no.
Best..

Council Member Alexander,
As a resident of Temecula for several years I am appalled that you would even suggest an abortion ban within our city.
Stripping away the fundamental rights to govern one's own body is offensive and out of touch with the community. Why is it so hard for people to separate church from state? How dare you impose your personal beliefs on the people who voted for you. You most definitely lost my vote the next time you are up for re-election. Please focus on pressing issues such as traffic, growth, and homelessness. That's what we are paying you for, not to suggest some ridiculous legislation imposing your religious beliefs on your constituents.
Sincerely,
M Glionna

To all:
The first clause in the Bill of Rights states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." The United States was founded as a democracy, embracing the separation of church and state and pluralism.
The idea of pluralism is that people of different cultures can co -exist in society even though they have different political opinions. Society benefits from various people with different beliefs equally participating in the same society.
Imposing a "city of life sanctuary" status to our city does not respect the constitution, pluralism or democracy that our country embraces. This is a private matter between a woman and her medical provider, not the City Council or the government.
Government officials place their hand on a bible as they swear an oath to uphold the constitution, rather than placing a hand on the constitution and pledging to uphold the bible.
In our society, we are free to practice (or not) religion. I urge you to be reminded of the values you pledge an oath to. You are free to have personal opinions, yet as a representative of all, your job is uphold the freedoms of ALL.
I am strongly opposed to the resolution of our inclusive city to become a "sanctuary of life" city.
Temecula has heart means something to me as a resident for 17 years. Thank you for registering my opinion. I urge you to reconsider this resolution.
Sincerely,
Lynn Lambrecht

Hello Matt,
I want to thank you for managing such a great city. My family and I have lived her since 2007 in Harveston and enjoy raising our children here. We are proud of our city and invite family and friends over to enjoy the abundant activities the city offers. I am an Air Force officer and C17 pilot at March ARB. I have over 1,000 combat hours protecting American values and freedoms abroad. I am asking you to not drag Temecula into divisive politics and not vote on creating Temecula as a sanctuary city for the Pro Life movement. Don't divide neighbors and friends that live in harmony in this city. We are better than this and creating a city that aligns with one side will split our city like many politicians are doing to the country. I hope the council considers the feelings and choices of half it's constituents that support Pro Choice.
Thank you for your time and feel free to respond.

Temecula City Council
4100 Main Street
Temecula, CA 92590
To all Temecula City Council Members:
I was shocked this morning to hear that you're considering making Temecula a Safe City, forbidding women to have abortions.
I do not support either side of the abortion argument. Neithershould you.
I do not believe this is any business of the City Council — I certainly don't believe it's in your Charter of Responsibilities. It is none of my business; it's none of your business either! To abort or carry a fetus is a very difficult, individual decision only a woman in that position can make. I pity the woman who has to make that decision.
Should you continue down this path, I will take my business (tax related business) to Lake Elsinore and Menifee. I will also exert whatever influence I have with my friends and neighbors to do the same.
Every woman had the right to make her own decisions — medical or economical. Your business is the Economical health of Temecula City. Stay out of the Medical life of women.
Respectfully,
Patricia A. Sullivan

I seriously hope the council does not entertain the request made by Ms Alexander for Temecula to become a Pro Life sanctuary city. Once again she is inserting her religious views into governmental affairs. California state law allows abortions - period full stop. I certainly hope the council has more important issues relative to actual city business than to allow her once again to promote her for right agenda. Her previous ridiculous remarks about masks and her Rosa Parks moment made the rounds on national comedy shows - (Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert) . Does the council really want our city to be known as fodder for comedians? I would hope we would want to promote our beautiful city and wineries for tourists. This type of stunt to make us a sanctuary city could lead to boycotts that would adversely impact our tourist dollars. Ms Alexander is certainly entitled to her religious beliefs and I suggest to exercise them in the church of her choice, not by wasting the council's time.
Thank you.

I think its completely hypocritical of you to spout off building a stronger, unified community, and then propose a ban on abortion.
Keep your personal views out of it. By removing someone else's bodily autonomy to match your world views makes you a terrible person.
No one is being forced to have an abortion. It is a personal choice. And taking that away from someone else makes you the monster, not them.

Dear Mayor, Pro. Tern and City Council Members,
I would like to commend you all for taking a stand against abortion. As a young woman who was working and going to school and found herself with the hard decision of having an abortion or quit school.
I chose to have my baby. I married my now husband and we had our daughter. I am proud to say she is a Marine Biologist who teaches Science to at risk high school students in the Marin County. She is a beautiful, bright and hardworking woman and would have never
had the opportunity had I had the abortion.
I can only wonder how many of those beautiful babies might have grown to be brilliant contributions to our world.
I would like the thank you again and
pray for blessings for you and your family.

Jessica I suggest that you mind your own business about what abortions.
You are a misogynist fool.
I suspect you also have some kind of religious beliefs that you think need to be imposed on everyone around you.
Temecula is far from being any place I would ever want to spend a dollar. If you want to keep on with your bullshit abortion ban you should just know that I will make it my time consuming hobby to let the world know what a shithole back water hillbilly dump you rule over.
Go away and take your fucked up ideas about abortion bans with you. This is California not some imaginary red state where you and your ilk can run roughshod over the rights of women.
You know for a f at that if you were raped or got drunk and had sex and ended up pregnant that you would be the first in line for an abortion. The difference is that you would just make it a special exception in your fucked up head.
Go to Hell in a handbag Jessica, you twunt!

Ms. Alexander.
Who in the world do you think you are? How dare you even suggest to take free will away from every woman in Temecula? We are given free will and freedom of choice by God himself. Who are you to pass judgement on anyone or to speak and demand that an entire city of women be told what they can or can not do with their body? You dont have to agree with it, you dont even have to like it, but you Do Not have the right to force your female constituents to abide by your beliefs, NO MATTER WHAT!!!. It is all over the news and social media. If their is a demonstration I will have everyone I know there protesting your BSM I will also have a very large boycott of Temecula, especially your precious Old Town and your wineries. Knock you religious BS off!!. First judge yourself. and secondly free yourself of your sin. Leave the rest of us alone. WE CAN MAKE OUR OWN DECISIONS with out your hypocritical, judgemental, religious BS getting in the way. I cant wait until you come up for re-election. I will remind everyone what Bs you tried to pull and if there is a recall, I will help have your butt kicked out Openminded citizen

Hello,
I live outside the city limits, however, I have been a Temecula resident since 1991. When you use language such as "this is our city" it might be wise to consider the position of the city as a whole.
It is doubtful the entire city shares your position on abortion. It is certainly unwise to allow 5 individuals to make policy or statements for the entire population. You are, of course, free to state your personal opinion but you cannot speak for the city. I suspect your proposal will fail but I recognize your personal position on the matter.
Regards, Will Wilson

Hi,
As a constituent in your district, I have grave concerns about what our city and this council have become since 2020.
Temecula was a great community of people with an outstanding city council, but national politics have cratered this community into a hotly divided and shifting city.
I cannot fathom that the city council would even entertain a proposal to prevent abortions, a right protected by the state of California and a right that was protected by the United States Supreme Court for over 50 years. This completely violates every persons individual freedom to have access to abortion, adequate fertility care, and proper health care. For a council member who claims they are here to unite this community, they have done nothing but create and sow more division. I am always proud of the local community members who often check the rhetoric of this council member that has often been anti-LGBTO, anti -diversity, anti -inclusion, and has been solely bent on nationalizing far -right politics into this community.
There is absolutely no right, no privilege, no capacity for this city and its council members entertain yet another media circus on this "sanctuary" from abortion access. With all due respect, this should not be on an agenda, should not continue to be a topic of any discussion, and should be quickly moved past as a protected right by the citizens and people in California. Her place of work and religious views should have no direct inclusion of her actions within our community. I understand she was democratically elected, however, the four other council members must stand against the continued push by far -right candidates who are trying to dismantle this once great community. Due to new school board and city council candidates, I have never been more than wanting to leave this community that I have called home for over 12 years now. I cannot have my daughter attend schools potentially controlled by a board fraught with such political ambitions as well as a potential city council that continually fails to respond appropriately to hateful, insensitive, and intolerant messages by its own members.
You have my full support and I will be a voice in favor of your incumbency, however, I am gravely disappointed in the city council for even remotely considering or listening to such proposals.
Thank you,
Tyler Evans

Hi,
As a Temecula resident for over 12 years, I am completely horrified by your time as a city council member. You have no right to attack the LGBTQ community, be so opposed to inclusiveness and diversity in this community, and now creating a national media grabbing circus about a sanctuary against abortion.
As a California citizens, we have every right to access fertility care, healthcare, and abortion treatments. You have no right to try to deny those to the people in your community. For a person who touts that they are seeking to unite this community, you're statements and actions since your time in 2020 have been nothing short of divisive. You truly do not represent the entirety of your district or community, but your narrowed interests and bringing in nationalized politics to a local community position that is supposed to be non -partisan at its heart.
I am disappointed in this council for entertaining your proposal and I am disappointed of what you have brought this once proud and friendly community. You're representing a divisive, often hateful, and controlling movement that has no place in this community.
While you may garner some local support, your actions cannot and will never control my wife or my daughter's rights and many others in this community.
Sincerely,
Tyler Evans

Good Evening Council Member Alexander,
Hello. My name is Jamie Adkins. I am apart of Temecula's youth. I have been here since I was a child, I just graduated from Chaparral High School and am currently attending California State University San Marcos. I am emailing you today in regards to your very recent statement, "Let the world know that Temecula stands for life from womb to tomb." You may not care to see your emails, as I understand you may have had multiple disagreements in the past concerning your views. I hope you see this one, though.
If you care so much to make Temecula a "safe haven" for it's residents, you would care to take a look at the mental health of the youth in your town that you claim to love so dearly. You would help with the homeless population. You cannot claim to love a town you represent and not do anything to help with the people that live amongst you.
You might have heard this argument multiple times before, but not allowing abortions only makes more room for unhealthy, unsafe, DEADLY practices. Making this statement alone ensures that you are willing to KILL the women of Temecula. Your sisters, neighbors, mothers, daughters. You do not care about the people of Temecula, you care about forcing birth, protecting rapists, and adding on to the homeless population.
Abortions aren't just "killing", they ensure that the mother can stay financially stable, to keep mothers in focus of their education, enter higher -paying jobs, less -likely to fall into poverty... but that doesn't matter to you, correct? Because we need to ensure that Temecula is not an abortion sanctuary! Let alone the foster care system is a joke. I know multiple teachers, friends and family who have gone through it only to experience mass trauma and PTSD. You are adding onto that by pursuing this statement.
Please, if you care deeply about the people you represent, I urge you not to do anything regarding abortions. Temecula is growing in a positive way in this moment, however, making abortions illegal in this town would mean that we grow within the homeless population. Help your people, do not disable them from pursuing the right goals that lead to their success. We deserve our rights just as much as a council member does.
Have the day you deserve,
Jamie Adkins

This proposal is a ruse and makes the city seem foolish. any time in Temecula or the surrounding area.
In fact, there will be a boycott organized for this purpose full council and city.
If perchance, it is approved I will no longer spend any money or I may do so anyway if this political ploy is not denied by the It is not within the purview of a city and elected council members to make such a proposal. Instead, why doesn't Jessica do her job of fully representing the city and working toward real issues that affect everyday life and the children and families of the city. Schools, water, traffic, crime, healthcare, jobs --I could go on. Maybe she is not capable of actually doing her job. And this is an easy, oh so easy out for someone who has no leadership skills.
Step up, council and make the city a model city not afraid to do real work that makes for strong and vital communities.

Hi Mayor,
Just received a message for you with regard to the upcoming agenda item on September 27tn Resident Laurie Malstrom wanted you to know that it is absurd that the abortion ban is even being considered to be discussed at next Council Meeting. She wanted to remind you that in California it is legal to have an abortion and to try to ban it in Temecula is a violation of women's rights. She stated she has also contact the California Attorney general and if you would like to speak to her about this you are welcome to call her.

Dear Miss Alexander:
Thank you for the courage you have displayed at the Temecula City meeting last Tuesday and standing up for The Unborn.
I correspond through email with one of the Board of Supervisors for Riverside County. He's the Board of Supervisors for our district. I live in the city of Riverside.
I would like to communicate with him to find out if the Riverside County Board of Supervisors could meet to discuss a resolution making Riverside County a sanctuary City for The Unborn. I know there will be excessive pushback because I have attended meetings in the past and it can be disturbing.
However, I would like to know if you can advise the best way for me to approach our supervisor. I am a retired resident living near downtown Riverside so I'm located near city and County Government. I believe if enough people who are like-minded about protecting The Unborn as to what we are capable of doing to the best of our ability, I believe the fruit from this endeavor will be worth it and will not go to waste.
Thank you for reading my email!
Respectfully,
Genevieve Tyler

Hello Jessica,
I want to thank you for managing such a great city. My family and I have lived her since 2007 in Harveston and enjoy raising our children here. We are proud of our city and invite family and friends over to enjoy the abundant activities the city offers. I am an Air Force officer and C17 pilot at March ARB. Like you, I have served our country and have over 1,000 combat hours protecting American values and freedoms. I am asking you to not drag Temecula into divisive politics and not vote on creating Temecula as a sanctuary city for the Pro Life movement. Don't divide neighbors and friends that live in harmony in this city. We are better than this and creating a city that aligns with one side will split our city like many politicians are doing to the country.

You have no right to interfere with a woman's right to control her own body.
If you pass this bill, my family along with multiple friends will cancel our wine club memberships and no longer vacation or spend any money at Temecula businesses. I am sure we are not the only ones who will do this.
Reproductive rights do not fall under the purview of any City Council.
It is disgusting you are even considering this.

Hello Mrs. Alexander my name is Caitlin Mcdonald and I saw that you were trying go ban abortions in temecula so that it can be a santuuary. I would like to let you know as a former Temecula Valley Highschool student, if you want temecula to be a sanctuary abortion is not what needs to be changed. Highschools are full of racism, sexual assualt, and rape.
Schools will dissmiss racism and SA all the time. Schools are not safe places for kids. I left Temecula Valley Highschool because I did not feel safe. I remember kids bringing guns to school and a lot of kids were doing drugs. Schools are not safe, don't make women not feel safe in their home town. I have lived in temecula my whole life I am 18 years old and have had multiple pregnancy scares and everytime I said I would get an abortion, even though I was terrified of the thought the comfort of knowing I am not forced to have this random boys kid for the rest of my life was something I took for granted. I hope you can see your decision was wrong especially as a women.

Mr. Mayor and Council Members,
Please see below regarding recent correspondence sent to Jessica Alexander.
Thank you,
Susan Sar
From: Susan Sar ; [email protected]
Subject: Protection
Dear Jessica,
First, I'd like to thank you for your service, both in the Marine Corps and on the Temecula City Council. Being a public representative is a labor of love and exposes you and your family to stressors not for the faint of heart. As a proud American and daughter of a Vietnam Veteran I am proud of our system of government and am sure to vote in all elections. And I support the civic role of those with whom I disagree. Unfortunately it seems that you are one of those people.
Second, I'm writing because your proposition to make Temecula a place where uterus owners cannot get critical healthcare is alarming and disappointing. I suspect that you have little familiarity with abortions or people who need them. Please know, nobody ever wants to have an abortion, they are necessary healthcare. To insert a governmental gatekeeper between a person and healthcare is a clear sign of moral corruption. I will pray for you.
Finally, as a mother of a daughter it terrifies me that she could live in a world where she has neither authority over her body nor the support of her civic leaders simply due to the fact that she has a uterus and ovaries. I will fight for her and others until I take my last breath, good Lord willing it's a lifetime away.
Peace be with you,

Hello,
My name is Chloe Schembri, and I would like to take a moment out of your day to address the agenda for Temecula City council. You claim to want this city to be known as a safe haven, yet you a risking many young girls, and woman's safety, and healthy. Banning abortion is not going to create a sanctuary city, it's going to cause unsafe abortions. Ana Langer a professor and coordinator or Woman's Health Initiative at Harvard says 23,000 woman die from unsafe abortions each year.
From a young woman's perspective I am terrified to see this topic be brought up in my own very town. It should be a basic human right to choose what you want to do with your body. What happens to a young woman that has no stable income, or knowledge on how to raise a baby, and she gets raped. Now this girl has a baby, and what does she do? She gives the baby to foster care flooding the system even more than it already is.
Thank you for your time, and I really do hope you take a young persons words into consideration. We are the future, and we are the ones that will be having the children. Shouldn't it be left up to us decide what we do with our bodies? -chloe Schembri

Subject: Abortion Ban in Temecula?
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Good Afternoon,
My name is Bailey and I have lived in Temecula for 22 out of my 24 years of my life and have made such amazing memories and friends here. I went to public schools here my whole life, got to learn from the people who had moved here in the 80's or even earlier, I've had so many great experiences in this city I call home.
I can assure you that I want our city to be safe and welcoming, and I'm assuming you do as well. So I'm confused as to why you think an abortion ban in my home town of Temecula is going to have a positive impact. Housing here is not cheap, even apartments. And continuing to build new and nicer places to live is increasing the cost of living all together.
Health insurance is expensive, if you can even get health insurance. The minimum wage is still not enough to make ends meet for people who rely on those jobs. People who couldn't afford to go to college. Or for people with college degrees whose salary is still incredibly low.
If you want to protect the people in our city and assure they're happy here, you have to address them individually. And I don't mean speaking to every person in Temecula, I mean letting them decide what they do or don't do with their body.
You cannot take away peoples bodily autonomy and expect them to still respect you. Governor Gavin Newsom wants California to be a safe space for everyone who lives here, EVERYONE! You cannot take away our choice to our own life.
Abortion bans may seem like they work but they only stop safe abortions. People will find a way, and that way is usually more traumatic and dangerous. Instead of just losing a clump of cells with the possibility for life, we will be losing real humans who maybe haven't graduated high school yet, real people who just want a better life for themselves. And you are okay with that? You're okay with more people killing themselves intentionally because they can't provide for a child or unintentionally getting an unsafe abortion? Or if you plan to take after Texas, you want to put people in jail or in prison simply because you disagree with their beliefs?
In most cases, the person who is pregnant does not want to have an abortion. It's painful and traumatic regardless of the reason. It's not used as "birth control", and if that's what you think then maybe we need to focus on making actual birth control more accessible to the people. If you're against abortion for religious reasons, keep that out of your politics. You cannot force your religious views on an entire city, let alone a single person. Did you forget about separation of church and state?
At the end of the day, what I or anyone else chooses to do with their body is not up to you. You can't decide if we get piercings, tattoos, plastic surgery, abortions, etc... If you do not want an abortion, don't have one. That goes for everyone. At least allow them the opportunity to decide.
Thank you for your time and please seriously reconsider this proposition, Sincerely,
Bailey Gregory

Hello Jessica
I appreciate you serving the city of Temecula. Your proposal to ban abortions is un-constitutional. This country is founded on the principals of religious freedoms. Your proposed ban on abortion imposes on those rights. Your view is not representative of many women in Temecula. Perhaps you should learn more about the harm this will cause women's reproductive health before weaponzing your position on the board. Next time your run for council please be more transparent on your views.

Hello Honorable Mayor and City Council Members of Temecula, I don't know which city council member suggested such an atrocity, but the ramifications will be greater than merely opposing abortion. This will be an invitation to protests, more than likely violence (because people today have no tolerance for opposition in a peaceful manner). The ensuing bloodshed, due to protesting this proposal, will be on each City Council members' hands and the Mayor's for the abortion pathway you are suggesting. Each one of you will be accountable for the results of your actions for approving this ban if it passes, as protests will take place.
In addition, you haven't considered the financial ramifications involved. I can tell you as a former "Woman of Distinction" of Menifee and the myriad of social and community groups I am involved with, that the city of Temecula will be considered a plague and that many residents in the surrounding area that financially support Temecula will cease. Example in place- if I happen to be in Temecula and this ban is approved, I will not shop at CostCo, as I will go to the one in Murrieta. I will not take family, friends, and tourists to Temecula, instead I will go to surrounding communities for restaurants, entertainment, and, yes, even vineyards, like San Antonio and others in Ontario, as an example. The loss of city taxes will be a shock to the city of Temecula, and they may never return if this ban goes through. It will forever damage the City of Temecula as being branded by this action. This is not the path that Temecula should venture down. Sometimes, decisions made momentarily will have a lifetime catastrophic effect that time will not erase.
I implore you to not approve this proposed ban on abortion.
Sincerely,
Dr. Resa Rosenstein

Why don't you try fixing real problems instead of trying to force your own opinions on a whole city. Banning abortions is RIDICULOUS and UNSAFE. Forcing women to carry a child they don't want is stupid and dangerous. What kind of life would that child be born into? Being unwated and resented with a mother who is maybe too poor to even care for them or is mentally unstable and subjecting them to abuse. As a woman I am absolutely appaled and shocked that another woman is so ignorant and willing to take away womens rights. No one cares about a sanctuary for the unborn. How about you do something for the living breathing children in our town not a clump of cells. Why don't you work to fix the foster system so that children aren't being abused and assulted by a faulty system. If you were really pro life you would do something to help them or make sure sex education was still instilled in ALL schools. How about make sure contraceptives are easily available and affordable for all. You're an embarrassment to all women.
Sincerely,
Every educated woman in America who cares about Women

Good Afternoon Temecula City Council Members,
This correspondence is meant to express our strong opposition to the proposed citywide ban on abortions. With so many challenges facing our city and residents, it is extremely troubling that Temecula City Council would involve itself and our City in such acts of political theater.
Finally, we want to clearly express our unwavering commitment to vigorously work against the re-election of Jessica Alexander, and any/all Temecula Council Members that support this proposal, during the next election cycle.

Mrs. Alexander,
I recently listened and read your statements regarding abortion and actions you would like to see taken in Temecula to ban this option for women. I have been a member of the Temecula community for many years. While I support the right for individuals to express their opinions and positions, I am offended that you would make statements that assumptively and incorrectly attach me to yours.
"This is our city, and what happens in our city is our responsibility." "Are we willing to stand up and fight for every resident? Let us be the first city in California to make a stand. Let's mark our city as a sanctuary city for Temecula's unborn."
If this is truly our city and you are interested in fighting for every resident then you would not make such general statements that ignore those who believe in and support a woman's right to choose. As a representative of the City of Temecula you should be incorporating and considering the position of all its residents, not just the ones that share your beliefs.
I am firmly pro -choice and would much prefer Temecula to be seen as a sanctuary that protects a woman's right to choose and embraces a thoughtfulness when considering the complexities and health implications that are inexorably tied to this decision.
As much as I disagree with your position, I do value diversity of opinion and thought. It is with this understanding that, when given the opportunity to represent others, it is critical to make every effort to eliminate broad and careless statements that alienate, insult and minimize any portion of that community.
It is concerning that an individual with a clear lack of this consideration and understanding has been given the opportunity to make sweeping statements that are offensive and not supported by many members that call Temecula home.
When preparing for your next speech or other communication(s) that shares the intent and purpose of initiatives, I would suggest the use of pronouns that reflect your position (I and me) and refrain from catch all words (every). Your position in no way reflects that of my own and many others. To assume that it does is both arrogant and ignorant.
Regards,
Luke Downer

City Council -
Please do not ban abortion. This shouldn't be an issue the city is considering.
The City of Temecula banning abortion does not fit with the "Temecula Safe" motto. Temecula needs to be a safe space for women - women who need safe healthcare options. Why should the city take this on- why make our city less inclusive, less safe and take away rights for half of our (tax paying) population? It seems a council member has a conflict of interest on this issue and should excuse herself from this vote.
Adding this issue to the agenda brings unfavorable attention to our city and hurts our tourism industry- passing this will do further damage to our reputation, tourism dollars and ultimately make women less safe.
Abortion saves lives of women- from a married mother who miscarries and needs a lifesaving medical procedure to the young girl who has been raped and had all innocence stolen from her.
Please do not ban abortion.

I am a partner in a wine distribution firm and broker Temecula wines for numerous restaurants in California and other states across the country.
Most likely almost, if not, all of our restaurants and wine selling establishments will refuse to carry Temecula grown / bottled wine g should you decide to pass this ill-conceived, misogynistic, dangerous, anti -freedom, backwards, disturbing law. Women who lack access to all normative pre -natal care often DIE because some ill-informed pro -lifer thinks he will save babies lives.
And would you personally adopt a born with fetal -alcohol syndrome, one addicted to meth or heroine, or one born with extreme congenital abnormalities? I think 2) not. So, the state will pay for their healthcare, and our TAXES WILL GO UP BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE THE CHRISTIAN SAVIOR.
Not everyone in the US or Temecula is Christian. There are two synagogues, Chanda, and an Islamic Center in Temecula. Both religions believe in the sanctity in a mother's life and gives precedence over that of the unborn.
One cousin had almost died of an ectopic pregnancy when her fallopian tube burst. My aunt aborted a Tay -Sachs baby — they didn't have genetic testing.
I expect tourism to dry up.
In addition any Jewish customers will refuse to buy or drink Temecula wine, again, as this goes against their religious tenets to put the health of a living woman before that of a fetus. Again this goes along with the word dangerous.
Thank you

Dear Mrs. Alexander,
My name is Sasha Giryan, and I live in the Temecula valley area. I am emailing because I have some concerns over an article I read about you on ABC7. I have linked the article for you below, in case you would like to read it yourself. You seem to want Temecula to have a city wide ban on abortions. Not only does this go against the position of leaving the devious up to the states, it is also unconstitutional and morally wrong.
I will quote you from the article itself: ,Are we willing to stand up and fight for every resident including the unborn babies who are voiceless? Let us be the first city in California to make a stand. Let's mark our city as a sanctuary city for Temecula's unborn." I find this abhorrent and disgusting, especially the fact that you want to bar a coroner from holding an inquest after a fetal death, including in cases where a stillborn was believed to be caused by drugs.
As someone who will be looking for another potential Councilperson after your term, I would like to see what you have to say about this bill you have proposed, and why you think it would be a good idea. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Sasha Giryan

Dear Council Members - it has come to my attention a "Safe Haven" proposal for unborn babies has been added to the agenda for the next Temecula, CA City Council meeting. Though I live in NJ I'm urging you to support this proposal.
Science proves that life begins at conception. An unborn baby is distinct from his/her mother. He/she is a unique living human being with his/her own DNA, blood, heartbeat and organs. Abortion is an assault on innocent human life. It is so prevalent and the most straightforward attack on innocent babies that it is the most important human rights issue today.
By supporting this proposal, you can save babies' lives and help change our culture. Thank you.

Dear Temecula City Council,
Some of your council public profiles say one of your main objectives as council members is to work to unify our Temecula community. Do you really think Jessica Alexander's controversial proposal about abortion is going to unify our community? If so, then I think your judgement is poor. I can't think of a more divisive issue for you to take sides on and force upon your citizens.
If Jessica Alexander's proposal passes, you will have put a permanent tattoo on every citizen of Temecula. A tattoo that expresses Jessica Alexander's personal religious beliefs. I don't want her tattoo. Temecula hospitality businesses don't want her extremist tattoo either.
Since news of Jessica Alexander's proposal broke a few days ago, 2 parties who had previously shown interest in our property are no longer interested. They have concerns about living in such a politically charged community that appears to invite controversy, where the city council could allow the extreme political and religious views of one council member to be imposed on the entire community. For those 2 parties, buying property in Temecula would now be a source of embarrassment rather than a source of pride. I don't blame them.
I have lived in Temecula since before it was named Temecula. People used to equate Temecula with wineries, golf, and good weather. Now, most people equate Temecula with political and religious extremism.
Please do not approve Jessica Alexander's proposal. Don't approve extremism. Keep Jessica Alexander's personal religious beliefs out of our lives.
Thank you,

We are writing to express our deep disappointment and dismay that Temecula would even consider making this city an anti abortion sanctuary.This should not be a political issue and should not be considered by a political body.
Decisions regarding a woman's health should be solely between her and her physician. To allow others to participate in that decision, based not on medicine but on politics, when no other medical decisions are decided by political considerations, is completely unacceptable and denigrates women and their equal status.
Please reject this despicable proposal. On top of any other consideration it would put this city, which is dependent on tourists and their revenues, in a position that is not acceptable to a majority of this country's citizens. They may decide to show their unhappiness by going elsewhere.
Linda and Ralph Cioppa

I will make this short and sweet.
Your bio says nothing of religious affiliation, but I will assume a Christian one. If your philosophy on this issue is Christian based then by the first amendment of the constitution, it doesn't hold water.
Anywho, you might want to read freakonomics... Specifically the main reason why crime decreased in the late 80's; when there was an expected spike upwards. Had nothing to do with increased policing and money in that regard, or any other governmental policy. 2/3 of the reason for the decrease in crime was directly related to Roe v Wade.
Beware! You may reap what you sow.

Good morning Maryann,
I just received a call from resident Sheri Ritter whom you may remember. She asked me to relay a message to you regarding that "woman's proposition to take away women's rights" and wanted to tell you she is completely against it. She knows you have always been good for the City and hopes you are able to keep "her" from doing this to our beautiful City. She wanted you to know she used to work at Macy's for 16 years and she used to have red hair. She stated she is very supportive of your leadership. I told her I would relay her message to you.

Hi Randi,
Thank you for taking my comment:
Good evening council members
This past weekend a creepy old man exposed himself to me just after a hike in Santa Rosa. I'm fine now, but the reason that is so traumatizing is because he took from me something that should've been in my control. He forced my eyes to see something they can't unsee. My eyes, my body, he forced them to his own benefit. This is the same reason rape is traumatizing, because someone forces your body for their experience. People say this is the same reason you can't force someone to give birth.
When I was pregnant with my second child I was rejected and abandoned. I became a single mom of two not having finished my degree and dependent on family. When I pushed that 81b 5ounce cutie out without any medication it was the single most empowering thing I've ever experienced. I roared her out and she came out roaring right back. I was so motivated after that, I knew I could take care of those babies myself. I felt I could do anything. Then I started my own business. I became one of the busiest doulas and childbirth educators in this area. I helped hundreds of women through their pregnancies and births by telling them their bodies can do this. When a birthing woman does not experience this, she describes the experience as feeling hijacked.
When I was 18 1 was raped at a party. I went to planned parenthood a few days later. They gave me the plan B pill with the explanation that it would "keep me from becoming pregnant." I didn't know. Then they gave me a Pap smear, which id never had before. After having just been raped, I was so further traumatized by that Pap smear, because it was so invasive to me on my body, that I decided I would never have one again. If I had waited weeks to go in there and if they'd done an abortion, that would've been further trauma. It would not have helped me reach my goals and dreams. It would not have empowered me.
You know who would've loved that and benefited from it? The rapist. Rapists love abortion. Traffickers love abortion.
Pimps love abortion. And they love it when we lie and say it helps women. No, abortion keeps women enslaved to those people.
If you believe that rape is wrong because the rapist is forcing something on someone's body for their benefit, then you MUST also believe that abortion is wrong! Abortion is forcing death on someone's body for another's perceived benefit.
No one forces a pregnant woman to birth, her body does that itself. Her body is the one that grows and births the baby, and that empowers her. Regardless of how she got pregnant, she does it. Her body grew the baby and her body births the baby. When you lie and say she's being forced, you are telling her that the very thing that could make her the strongest makes her weak. Please empower women by making Temecula a sanctuary for life.

Subject: Proposed Resolution to Make Temecula a Sanctuary City for the unborn CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Good afternoon Mayor and City Council members,
I am also copying Randi Johl and Erika Ramirez to request that my statements be read into record respectfully at the City Council meeting.
My name is Eva Smith, I am a registered voter, retired Wireless Communications Engineer, Community Volunteer, Faithful voter and a proud resident of Temecula for over 24 years.
I am asking the City council to vote no on the resolution to make Temecula a Sanctuary city for the unborn. The council member wants the city of Temecula to be the sanctuary of the unborn, but it doesn't provide the same support for access to affordable sexual healthcare, reproductive healthcare or mental healthcare.
By adopting the resolution the City of Temecula will put the lives of mothers who have miscarriages or loss of a child which requires an abortion to save their lives. By adopting the resolution the City will send the
community a message that the City doesn't care about the living, the unhoused or access to affordable health care.
By adopting the resolution the city will be violate federal and state laws which will also subject the City to a lawsuit and boycotts from residents and tourists who will choose to visit other destination cities such as Napa, San Diego Wine Country or Paso Robles for their wine country vacations.
This proposal is making the city look bad. Just take a look at some of the comments of social media pages for an example of some of the national feedback from CNN to the LATimes.
I also do not want my taxpayer money wasted on litigations and I also do not want to see our city lose their reputation and revenue due to to the reduction in tourism if this resolution passes.
If our city is willing to take the steps to focus on the well being of others, please pass a resolution to provide housing for the homeless, affordable housing for middle income residents or start a resolution to
protect our children in our schools from gun violence, fentanyl overdose or suicide, Temecula City council, please vote no on this resolution.
It's time to focus on the needs of our community and not frivolous resolutions.
The future of our thriving community depends on it.
Eva Smith

Good Afternoon Council Woman Alexander,
First of all, thank you for your service to the City of Temecula. Temecula is amazing! As a resident of Temecula, I am very concerned for the people living in the among the dry brush and the wash behind Vail Ranch Middle School and in the overgrown wash that runs all the way down to in back off In-N-Out off of Temecula Parkway.
I write to you because I feel their important lives and the surrounding community that rents or pays pays property taxes deserve your attention more than your efforts you placed on a "sanctuary city" during the last city council meeting.
I wonder if your passion could serve the city better if you problem solved: What can be done to reduce Temecula's homeless problem? What can be done to make sure more fires aren't started in the wash and jeopardize surrounding homes? These are both pressing city topics that we need the city council to address.
Abortion is a State and Federal issue; not a local city issue. I appreciate your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Stephanie Laue

I did not vote for you. When I read your resume of achievements I knew you and I would never see eye to eye on much.
Your quest to be a leader would make you a one size fits all dictatorship style leader. You have five kids to boss around and now that's not enough. Why don't you take on some of the disadvantage children in the Foster care system. Then you can experience first hand what happens to unwanted child. Child raised without the financial equality your child were raised with. I would love to sign the recall because you possess more negative qualities then positive but the taxpayer deserves more for there money. May we endure two more years of your racist and homophobic beliefs after all we survived trump.

Council Members,
The fact you would even consider the madness purposed by Ms. Alexander is pathetic and unconscionable. To officially deny women the right to healthcare and reproductive rights is not only immoral but indefensible. Your charge is to represent all of the people of Temecula and to make our community better, more inclusive, and welcoming. Not to support the minority dogma of fundamentalist extremists.
Please do you job!
Respectively,

Hello Matt,
Congratulations on being Temecula's mayor, I'm sure you have your heart in making this a better place for all of us to live. I will be out of town the week of September 27th when there is a council meeting talking about the aborton ban proposed by Temecula City Councilmember Jessica Alexander.
My family and neighbors were furious that a far right wing religious extremist is trying to dictate how other people should live by trying to pass a vote through the city council meeting. This hot topic needs to be a vote by the people and not by the few in government. We Americans are not Iranians where religious extremists restrict people's freedom. In America, the church and state are supposed to be separate. I believe in women's rights and I don't want us to go down a slippery slope. Even my Catholic wife commented, we are going back in time to the 19th century.
Please do the right thing, let the people make this decision about the abortion, not the government.
In the meantime, a petition to recall Jessica Alexander is being processed. https•//www change org/p/temecula-city-council-recall-jessica-alexander-from-the-city-council Thank you and have a great day!

So the first 20 yrs in Temecula was bliss , was so proud of my city, bragged about it to my OC friends BUT the last 6 yrs, oh vey! ( coincidental?) When we moved here in 1996 1 figured pretty quick I was surrounded by conservatives. It didn't seem to matter tho ...the city council at that time never showed any bias , what they did , they did for the good of the community ( the quarry fight for one ) so it was great.... But now ! it seems you CC people are just in there for your political agenda. Especially that JA. is this what small town ( yes we are still small potatoes , I'm from L.A) is suppose to be all about ? pushing this right wing woman's non pro choice agenda down our throats ?? Please ! you are not doing yourselves any favors with most folks, whether they admit it or not Enough already ! Thank you for your time. Have a nice day
PS can we do anything about the out of control barking dogs in this city ?? Animal friends need help K Andrews

She wants you to know she feels this is not an issue for the City to take away women rights that California has given them and is not representative of all decisions of residents. Religion should not be up to Council Member Alexander to impose on them. If a woman wants to have an abortion that should be left up to the individual and not up to Jessica Alexander.
Specifically Ms. Avalos wants to let Council Member Alexaner know that she does not speak for all of "us and her beliefs and she should not be enforcing her religious belief on us." Caller: Valarie Avalos

September 22, 2022
Dear Mayor and Council members,
My family moved to Temecula 3 years ago, because we thought it would be a nice city to live as we had visited many times and always enjoyed it here. We looked forward to learning all that Temecula has to offer. Unfortunately, we were delayed in exploring our new community, because this is when the World Pandemic hit. Life has moved along and we got to know our neighbors and find them to be kind and inclusive humans. So, it was surprising to have family members and friends mention that Temecula does not seem inclusive. I asked why they would say such a thing and they shared this article from the LA Times: https://www.latimes.com/california/storV/2022-09-15/` abortion-ban-temecula-sanctuary- citV
After reading this article, we are concerned that this council member is using a civic position as a pulpit for personal views. In my opinion these views do not serve or represent the entire community. It seems that investing in the marketing for the City of Temecula as "Live Glass Full" is a positive marketing strategy, which implies that the city is welcoming, inclusive, and wants people to come, enjoy life and have fun. This positive strategy brings tourism and helps the community as a whole. This is what you want the City of Temecula to be known for, correct? We assured our family and friends that this article only represents the views of one council member and not the community. The purpose of my letter is to inform you as a member of the community that my family does NOT support making Temecula a Sanctuary City as requested by this council member.
We would like to see council members working on items that directly improve the quality of life for people in the community. One item that we have been struggling with since moving to Temecula is the limited internet available to us. I respectfully request council members to add the following topic to the agenda:
Improve infrastructure to allow competitive internet services to the rural parts of Temecula, specifically the Wine Country (92592).
Due to the lack of infrastructure there is not a competitive environment for internet providers and therefore residents are victims of price gouging by the few providers. Companies such as Frontier Communications have a monopoly in this area. There has been a complaint filed with the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) against them, which you can read here: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2022/05/ftc-takes-action-against-frontier-lying-about- internet-speeds-ripping-customers-who-paid-high-speed
This has not helped this situation as Frontier continues to price gouge. An example of the price gouging, my family is being charged $75.00 monthly for 10 to 12 Mbps (megabits per second), where residents in other areas of Temecula are paying $39.99 for 500 Mbps, yes you read that correctly the difference in internet is 12 Mbps to 500 Mbps. If you break down the unit price for Mbps, we should be paying under $15.00, it's astonishing that Frontier is getting away with this! This would be like paying the price of a gallon of milk for a cup of milk.
We recently reached out to the CEO of Frontier, Nick Jeffery, with our concern and his representative said they could reduce our bill by $10.00 for 1 year, meaning we would be paying $65.00 for 12 Mbps, this is still price gouging. I don't think we should be charged more than $39.99 as other residents in the city are paying for 500 Mbps. We are in a rural part of the city not a third world country. I don't understand why this monopoly is allowed. If the companies can only provide a certain level of internet, because the actual cost of improving the infrastructure is out of reach, then they should be charging customers close to the actual Mbps customers are receiving. This is not a complicated concept.
Having limited access to the internet affects emergency communications. During the last evacuation, due to the Fairview Fire in Hemet, our internet access was slow as we searched for updates on the evacuation notices and for hotels to stay at. So many systems are monitored on the internet; security systems, solar energy systems, air conditioning systems, health monitoring applications, and the telephone line is connected to the internet line. Therefore, having a reasonable amount of internet service is a necessity and not a luxury.
We really need improved infrastructure in the rural areas of Temecula, and we are requesting that our council members give attention to this problem.
Can you please inform me of any current projects to improve the infrastructure; and access to the internet in rural areas of Temecula? How can I monitor the progress of these projects, if any? If there is not any current projects, who else can I contact about this problem and the need for this project? Sincerely,
Julie Zuanich

Subject: Proposed Agenda Item for Unborn Sanctuary City CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Dear Members of our Temecula City Council,
As I am not able to attend the September 27 council meeting in person, I am writing to address the agenda item regarding future agenda items. In particular, I am addressing Councilmember Alexander's proposal to discuss making Temecula a Sanctuary City for unborn life.
I'm not going to launch into a diatribe about a woman's right to reproductive choice, as that's not what this agenda item is about. As I understand it, you are discussing if you should discuss it in the future. The answer is a simple no. A woman's right to reproductive choice is protected under CA state law, and therefore, is not within the council's purview for discussion. Regardless of where you stand on the matter of reproductive choice, this isn't part of your responsibilities as Temecula City Council, and I request that you not entertain this agenda item on that principle alone. Refer to the recent San Clemente City Council meeting that Alexander is so blatantly ripping off - they've already given you the playbook on why this discussion is unnecessary.
This is yet another headline -grabbing tactic by Councilmember Alexander to draw attention to two things:
• Her faith, which has no place in matters of city government.
Her employment at Birth Choice, which presents an immediate conflict of interest.
Unfortunately these headline -grabbing tactics once again bring shame and embarrassment to our town. At work, I hear comments like, "I see Temecula made national news again" and it was for some display or racism, homophobia, or misogyny, usually perpetrated by Councilmember Alexander, and the church members whose opinions she is parroting and whose scripts she is reading. I am sure that our much -needed tourism business is suffering due the reputation our town is receiving nationally. I know we are so much more than what she represents.
Mayor Rahn, Mayor Pro-tem Schwank, and Councilmembers Edwards and Stewart, aren't you just so tired of these time -wasting tactics and damage control efforts you must constantly withstand? Please put an end to this now by not entertaining this proposed agenda item any further. Do not indulge in discussion; do not give it any air.
If you'd like to discuss making Temecula a "Sanctuary City" for anything, let's have it be something positive. Here are some ideas for future Sanctuary City agenda items:
• Inclusion.
• Love.
• Dogs that get carted around in strollers (I don't understand this, but we seem to have a lot of • them here, and they don't hurt anybody).
• Being decent human beings.
Thank you for your time,

Mr. Rahn,
My wife and I would like to clearly voice our support for council member Jessica Alexander's abortion ban resolution.
As you know the Superman Court returned this decision to the states. Just this afternoon Arizona has essentially banned all abortions, along with several other states.
Americans, along with the citizens of the world, overwhelming do not support abortion.
You have a unique opportunity to protect the unborn with your vote.
Thank you,

Dear council member,
I read in the LA Times about an abortion ban that you have proposed for the city of Temecula. This proposal is outlandish and quite frankly, a personal soapbox issue you hold. I also believe it is a conflict of interest item for you, as your business will benefit by the passing of this proposal. It is not the duty of the Temecula city council to pass resolutions that are against state law. I urge you to vote down this asinine resolution and carry on with worthy city business. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Good Morning Temecula City Council Members,
As a followup to our 16Sep22 email, in which we expressed STRONG OPPOSITION to the proposed citywide ban on abortions, we offer the following final throughts;
First and foremost, the Temecula City Government is not a theocracy and was not created to allow any group or individual to impose their religious beliefs/views on others.
Second, while Christian Nationalists (like Jessica Alexander) are often quite vocal in expressing their anti -abortion views, these views are actually held by a minority of people. Pew Research (a highly respected, non -partisan, fact -based American think tank) reported in July 2022 (link below) that "62% of Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases".
https:l/www. pewresearch. oralpoliticsl2022/07/06/majority-of-public-disapproves-of-supreme-courts-decision-to- overturn-roe-v-wade/#americans-views-of-abortion
In closing, we once again strongly encourage Temecula City Council Members to REJECT the citywide ban on abortions proposed by Jessica Alexander and to not involve our City in political theatre.
Regards,
Jeffrey A. & CindySue Wittek

To whom it may concern:
I am writing in an attempt to express my concern over having councilwoman Jessica Alexander be a representative of Temecula Valley.
A quick google search of her name and we are met with headlines associated with articles addressing her homophobia, a petition to have her repealed, her want of barring access to healthcare for women (even when it is a protected right in the states constitution), and her own realization that she is unable to separate her religious beliefs from her daily job. I don't believe this is the kind of publicity Temecula needs or wants. I have lived in Temecula Valley for over 20 years and I cannot believe I have to speak up for my own rights in this city.
I will not stand to allow what Jessica Alexander may believe is "right" according to her bible. I could not care any less. I stand for what is written in our states constitution, and the Attorney General has every right to pursue legal actions - which in turn, will hurt Temecula taxpayers like myself. Not to mention the negative outpour of feedback on the LA times publication with hundreds of comments saying people will no longer come to Temecula Wine Country over this ludicrous person that is representing our Valley. As someone who works in our tourism industry, this will vastly negatively affect our economy.
I look forward to the end of her term, and electing someone who stands for the laws in this beautiful state we are so lucky to live in.
Best Regards,
Layla S.

Dear Mayor and Council Members:
The topic of legal abortion in the state of California has no place on the City Council's agenda. This is a decision between a woman and her physician, not between a woman and the city council members.
Abortion needs to remain safe, legal and accessible in this city.
I urge you to REMOVE this resolution proposal from further consideration.

Hi Randi,
I'd like to submit a public comment in regard to Jessica Alexander's intention to propose the topic of Temecula as a sanctuary city for abortions.
Her involvement with Tim Thompson and 412 Church is influencing her ability to honor the oath she took as a city council member. Extremist religious beliefs do not belong in our local decisions, and we surely don't need someone wasting resources on an issue that is protected at the state level. Ms. Alexander's commentary is causing harm to many Temecula citizens.
When abortions are banned, they don't stop happening. Instead, there is an increase in unsafe abortions, PTSD, postpartum depression, and more. This particularly affects BIPOC women, people that Ms. Alexander has shown no regard for in previous comments she has made, such as referring to herself as Rosa Parks because she was asked to wear a mask to protect fellow community members.
Please, City Council members, do not allow this conversation on banning abortion in Temecula to take up any more time in your meetings. Women have already been given the right by the state of California to make decisions about their own bodies. A human right that should not be threatened. Trying to pass any sort of local legislation on this will only be a waste of resources.
Thank you,
Amrie DeFrates

RE: Temecula Proclamation to Banning Abortion.
The law undoubtedly concludes that Councilwoman J. Alexander attempt to elicit your support to ban abortion in our city is a violation to "The Establishment Clause" When she is using time and again a public non -partisan city council position to imposing her personal faith and dogmatic doctrines using our tax funds; this council must take a stand rejecting her personal agenda.
Jessica Alexander is becoming a financial liability exposing our city to legal confrontations in which not a red cent will come from her income, but we the Temecula residents will have to pay. You cannot support the use of public funding for religious indoctrinations for the benefit of a council member with "dilutional savior complex."
Let me end stating that denying the right to choose is using religion to execute violence against women. Mayor Rahn, Mayor Pro Tem Shwank, and council members I urged you to reject the proposition.
In unity for a safe and healthy community,

Subject: Public Comment on Proposed "Sanctuary City for the Unborn" CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
During the last council meeting Jessica Alexander proposed that Temecula adopt a resolution in favor of becoming a "sanctuary city for the unborn". While she did not elaborate on any specific details, the agenda seems clear. The proposal is designed to make reproductive choice as difficult as possible within the city while intentionally provoking public outcry in order to gain political capital on her part.
This is NOT the role of our city government. Reproductive freedom is enshrined in our state legislation. Those of us who live here do not intend our city government to waste valuable time and resources with useless grand standing or political division. This resolution would undoubtedly lead to costly litigation with the state. A complete waste of tax dollars!
As a resident, business owner, and mother of two teens in TVUSD I urge the city council to shut down this proposal and any similar to it. I further urge you to find Jessica Alexander unfit for any role in local city government.

Hello, I am writing again since I did not get any receipt or response that you received my concern.
I would like to add a bit more information about myself.
My husband and I have lived in Temecula and have been homeowners here since 2012.
We have 3 children, all daughters, one of which is in the public school system in Temecula, and the other two will eventually follow.
We have always planned on living in Temecula until our children are grown and flown, but if these extremist values keep being pushed on the citizens here, I feel we will have no choice but to abandon this city. We cannot in good conscience raise 3 daughters in a city that is actively trying to infringe on their healthcare rights and bodily autonomy.
Once again, I ask you to speak out against this violation of state law and morality, and publicly denounce the proposition of a "sanctuary city" or any abortion regulations/bans.
Thank you,
Sarah Peyton

I've lived in Temecula since 1999 and must speak up now regarding the illegal and illogical resolution by Council Member Alexander.
Proposing a "sanctuary city for the unborn" is fundamentally incompatible with our society as a whole on all moral and ethical grounds. I am disgusted that someone newly elected to power in our city is so uneducated about the law. She is ignorant of the Health and Safety Code which is a subset of the California Constitution.
In 1981, the California Supreme Court held that "all women in this state rich and poor alike possess a fundamental constitutional right to choose whether or not to bear a child." (Comm. to Defend Reprod. Rights v.
Myers (1981) 29 Ca1.3d 252, 262).
Consistent with this precedent, the Legislature enacted the Reproductive Privacy Act (RPA), which codified a woman's fundamental right to procreative choice (Health & Saf. Code, § 123462). To that end, the Legislature forbid the state "and every county, city, town and municipal corporation" in the state from interfering with a woman's right to choose to bear a child or obtain an abortion (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 123464 subd. (c), 123466; see also Missionary Guadalupanas of Holy Spirit Inv. v. Rouillard (2019) 38CalApp.5th 421, 435 [abortions are a "basic health care service" and must be covered by health plans].) Those who violate established laws designed to protect vulnerable people should and will be stopped, and their personal bigotry and irrational fears are not to be respected.
Instead, our Council should focus on the struggles (homelessness, poverty, public transit, etc.) now in our community.

Please submit this for public comment. Thank you.
Dear Temecula City Council Members,
I write you as a descendant of the original people of this land, a Pay6mkawish woman from Pechanga. I will get right to the point. Our people believe that life begins at the first breath, so the moment a baby comes out of the womb, and makes their first cries, they are alive. Not anytime before, while in the womb. If you disagree with me based on your religious or cultural beliefs, that's fine.
However, I ask that you give me and countless others who feel the same way, the same respect that we allow you to have based on your own beliefs, therefore maintaining the clear separation of church and state. Christianity is not the only religion around here, and it definitely is not the original religion or way of thinking of this land, as my people can attest to. We have already suffered the impacts of colonization and the traumas that Christiantiy has brought to the land and our people; To affirm this foreign religious dogma on our land is frankly re -traumatizing. This is why I cannot in good conscience support the recommendation to make Temecula, Indigenous Pay6mkawish land, a "City of Life Sanctuary".
Furthermore, the negative impact to businesses should this resolution pass could be absolutely detrimental. People have already commented that they will boycott the city and wineries, and I assume they would also boycott the casino, all of which support thousands of our residents. We cannot let this resolution negatively impact the livelihood of our residents who have already suffered so much due to the pandemic.
This is also clearly a conflict of interest as Jessica Alexander is privately employed with Birth Choice. Further, reproductive choice in California is still legal. It is a highly private matter between a pregnant person and their medical professional, not Temecula's City Council.
This is why I strongly oppose the resolution to make Temecula a City of Life Sanctuary. Thank you for your time.
With strength,

RE: "Resolution Declaring Temecula a Sanctuary City for Temecula's Unborn (At the Request of Council Member Alexander)"
As a citizen of Temecula for the last 26 years, I adamantly oppose any effort by the city council to adopt the resolution presented by Council Member Alexander.
It would be irresponsible to adopt a resolution that is in direct conflict with the state of California's laws to ensure a right to access abortion as such action would predictably open up the city for legal action and lawsuits.
It would be inappropriate to adopt such a resolution as it does NOT reflect the opinion of the majority of citizens in the city, who instead support the state's status as a reproductive freedom state.
It would be inappropriate to support the resolution as it reflects a personal religious opinion of a councilmember, and might possibly even be considered a conflict of interest as the resolution appears to promote the services of an organization that she is personally involved with.
As noted in the letter from the Attorney General's office, the California Supreme Court held that "all women in this state rich and poor alike possess a fundamental constitutional right to choose whether or not to bear a child." The city of Temecula should not promote any stance contrary to that legal finding.
Respectfully,
Paisley S Cato

Entertaining this "sanctuary city" resolution is emboldening extremists. Anyone who thinks otherwise should look into this group's propaganda.

Jessica and all council members,
If you think for a minute that this city council has the right to control a woman's body it tells me what kind of city council member you are. Then let's make male masturbation illegal while you are at it! I didn't realize I lived in Gilead wannabe town but I will make sure this doesn't happen. And many of you call yourself christians... what a joke killing and harassing people in the name of God.
IF YOU LIVED BY THE GOLDEN RULE you'd know in your heart what you are trying to do is wrong, at the misdirection of the KKK white male that has been afraid of the White Woman ending the race. You want to keep people of color pregnant so the United States has a workforce they control. Ever since E-verify started making this country legal you switched up and now no longer want a workforce from outside the US, but you are attempting to control from within by people like you on our city council Your type of thinking needs to go and is not welcome in this town or any town in the United States of America!

It is upsetting as a 15 plus year homeowner that I have to waste my time to make sure that your rogue colleague keeps going against the majority residents in things that are essential to good governance. Councilmember Alexander keeps putting this city in a negative light and ridicule .
Via state law and the Supreme Court recent decision on ABORTION , Abortion decisions will be decided by the individual state. Our state and Governor has decided that we are pro choice. MS . ALEXANDER Religious views are also abhorrent since she is a public servant and ger personal religious views should never influence her public decision that effects all city residents.
I am hoping you have the courage to follow San Clemente's city council and make this a non endorsement for the city.

Dear Council Clerk Ms. Johl.
I sent the following letter tonight to each council member and would like it to be read into the record for tomorrow's Council meeting (Tuesday, September 27, 2022).
Thank you.
Dear Council Member (all).
On behalf of the four voting, adult constituents of our City of Temecula home, I write to express our outrage, once again, at Council Member Jessica Alexander's vain, attention -seeking attempts to tarnish the positive branding image of our city by pushing for the Council to vote to declare our City an anti abortion sanctuary. Such absurd, wasteful folly, if enacted, would lose our Council all credibility with their constituents and the general public at large, would invite unwanted negative publicity upon our City and would (perhaps rightly) portray Temecula as a place overrun by zealots who do not serve the public good but instead only serve the narrow, self-serving and self-aggrandizing agendas of a small group of extremists.
You already know that such an act would instantly put our city in direct confrontation with California law and would invite an immediate lawsuit against the city by the State - which, if this vote succeeds, we in this household would support as a check on an out -of -touch and out -of -control activist Council trying to inappropriately use public resources to extra -judiciously take away citizens' rights granted them in law. Vast majorities of the populace of this state, country and dare we also say, this City, do not want to see a woman's right to choose taken away. Recklessly inviting this costly, misguided fight (that the City would surely lose) cannot be justified from the perspective of your duty to protect the City from harm and to exercise fiduciary responsibility in carrying out your sworn duties to protect the laws of the State.
What value could be derived from the avalanche of negative publicity that would surely follow such a vote?I? Is that how you want your legacy in public service to be defined? Many of you have worked tirelessly over the years to help build Temecula's image and brand as a popular destination and a positive place for people to visit and live. Voting in favor of this motion puts all of that in jeopardy. It's probable that many visitors and potential new residents would decide to avoid Temecula - not wanting to contribute to a place overrun by zealots. This could directly impact the City's tax revenues.
Don't get caught now on the wrong side of that history by contributing to an effort to destroy that (decades in the making) image and damage that lucrative brand, perhaps irreparably, by caving in to extremists. Think twice about what
you want Temecula to be known for, and what you don't want it to be known for. Think twice about how you want to be remembered in that conversation.
We respectfully ask that you do what's the most right for the most people and ensure that this reactionary, brand - damaging folly ends in defeat. Let's keep Temecula being viewed positively by visitors and residents alike. Say no to imposing reckless, self-inflicted damage to our brand!
Thank you.

Dear Members of the City Council,
I'm a resident of Temecula and am concerned about the recent proposal for a resolution declaring Temecula a sanctuary city for Temecula's unborn. Abortion is a polarizing issue with reasonable arguments on both sides. While I'm personally opposed to abortion, I recognize the challenging and nuanced situations others may find themselves in, and believe they should have the right to make decisions based on personalized medical and spiritual advice.
I applaud the people who spoke out in support of the birth choice center in the last council meeting and the work they do. However, the leap from offering beneficial services to restricting others choices is an overstep.
Regardless of the arguments for or against abortion, I also don't believe it is appropriate for the city to be involved in this issue. I'm concerned it would bring negative attention and expose the city to unnecessary lawsuits that will cost residents money. Please keep the focus on the business of the city.
Thank you for your service to our community. I'm sure your time spent on the council is under appreciated. Overall I'm very happy with the quality of services in the city and hope that continues while staying out of partisan culture war issues.
Sincerely,
Aaron

Members of the city council,
I am writing to you today due to the proposal being pushed by Mrs. Alexander. While I respect her conviction to her faith, I can not respect that this conviction comes with a misuse of her position to push this belief on those of us who do not follow it. What Mrs. Alexander is proposing is not only illegal but it with far outside of the scope of her position in city council and shows yet again her lack of respect for her position. It is a proposal that could have dangerous and harmful affects on many. Mrs. Alexander will not end abortion in this city, she would only end safe abortions. And if all lives truly matter, than the lives of those should matter too. I have a petition that in just a few days has garnered over 200 local signatures. This petition is of those who want to keep abortions safe in Temecula. While I realize there is no legal standing to this petition i believe it shows there are many who do not support this proposal. With this I ask that not only do you vote against this illegal proposal, but that you also censure Mrs. Alexander for constantly going against her position on the council and the waste in tax payer funds she has used to promote her religious agendas.
Thank you,
Jenn Reeves

Subject: Public Reading Item 11 for 9/27 City Council Meeting CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Request: Please read my comments tonight during public comments for item 11, resolution declaring Temecula a sanctuary city for unborn babies, "Sanctuary City for Temecula's Unborn" Temecula City Council Members, Staff and Citizens of Temecula:
Local control of our city that represents, most of our citizens verses mandates that come from the State Government is important, and our legal constitutional right.
An opportunity we have, as a City, is to proclaim we are the voice of the "Unborn", "Sanctuary City for Temecula's Unborn".
Psalm 127 says,
"Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good." Who will speak for the unborn whose lives are threatened by the State Government of California, who says to the Unborn, "The State of California will make it easy to have your life ended, even after you are born, by disallowing investigations into the cause of the death of newborn babies in California." AB-2223.
The State is aggressively letting the rest of our nation know, "if you are a mother of an "Unborn" and your state will not will not allow you to have an abortion, come to California, we will pay for you to come and have an abortion, with our citizens tax dollars. " AB 1666
Who will be the voice of the "Unborn"? Since the 1970's over 64,000,000 American lives have been taken, aborted, killed.
These lives have been given life by God. They have souls, heart beats and feelings.
We are at a turning point in our culture. Who will represent those of us who Believe God, The Holy and Sovereign God of all creation. He has created all and is Sovereign over all. He Blesses and He takes away. He
has a great plan for all Creation. He has given us His written, infallible & inerrant Word. It has been proven in history and prophecy. He has a plan for all of us, including the unborn and the 64,000,000 lives that have been taken.
Some of our citizens do not believe in God and there are those that do believe and will not submit to Him and keep His ways. That's okay.
Those of us that lift Him up and take a stand to lift Him up in our community, we encourage others to see Him and receive Him and His Love and our love.
We are called to love all and not judge. He will do the judging.
Regarding being a voice for the "Unborn",
This is about encouraging mothers and fathers of the "Unborn" to give their "Unborn" children, a healthy and abundant life outside of the womb. Give them the choice of life outside the womb.
This is not about "anti -abortion" or a mother's right to choose.
It is about being a voice for the "Unborn" that says don't take my life, give me life outside the womb, please do not take my life in vain.
This is the Proclamation, let's let the world know the City of Temecula, above all else, is the voice for the "Unborn".
With the Election coming in November this is awkward for some that are in "elected public seats" because of opposition that says it is not for the City to have such a proclamation, and they will speak against you if you make such a proclamation.
There are more of us that will stand with those that have the boldness and courage to be the voice of the "Unborn", than those that oppose God, His creation and right to protect life, the "Unborn".
God will bless those that keep His ways, honor Him and be the voice for those who do not have a voice.
Let's be the Sanctuary City for Temecula's Unborn.
God Calls us to have no fear, to be bold and courageous and to keep and mediate on His Word.
Joshua 1:8-9
"Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. This is my command —be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. " Be the Voice and Provide for those with no voice or means Luke 4:18-19
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see,
that the oppressed will be set free,
and that the time of the Lord's favor has come. " Luke 4:18-19

The misguided attempt by Council Member Jessica Anderson to have Temecula declared "a Sanctuary City for Temecula's Unborn" is not an appropriate subject for consideration by our City Council. It is a conservative idea displaying the ideology of this particular Council Member, and should receive no further attention by the Council.
Further, the California Attorney General has clearly presented the State's position on the matter; if it is pursued further, the City will likely face indeterminate legal expenses in attempting to defend against action by the State.
Please let this matter drop without further consideration.
Thank you

There are many choices as to a woman's body reproduction system.

There are many options for women not to use an abortion as an option.
Pills, IUD's etc.
Why would anyone even consider an abortion in these modern times - Keep the email private please !
I do not want to reveal my name -
Because my dear mother suffered all her life and had several abortions due to the fact these options were not available and during the WW!!
She had several abortions because she had no food or milk or any type of nutrition and many women during these horrible times suffered and it is a known fact women never forget ! A fetus is a human being and it is Murder to kill.

Dear Temecula City Council,
Temecula can and should promote the protection of innocent unborn life. Such an endeavor could easily include the promotion and recognition of parenthood and the support of non -government organizations helping mothers and families keep their unborn babies to term.
On another note and in a broader sense ... in now post Roe v. Wade America, it should be imperative that innocent unborn babies receive some amount of the due process rights that even convicted murderers routinely get while decades waiting on death row.
Is it so out of the question to endow even a fraction of the due process guaranteed to a condemned vicious murderer, during an innocent baby's first nine months inside of his or her mother's womb?
The Left routinely harps on the 3/5ths compromise in the original US Constitution. How about an unborn baby qualifying for even 3/5ths of the rights that a serial killer enjoys while locked up on death row? At this point even 3/5ths is better than none. Some reasonable due process should not be that great or impossible to guarantee.
In the meantime, science clearly demonstrates that the unborn are not merely a clump of cells, or something akin to a tumor, as the pro -abortion left would have us believe. 1 Baby elephant in utero, not a clump of cells; courtesy of National Geographic Baby dolphin in utero, not a tumor; courtesy of National Geographic Baby cheetah in utero, let's keep this one; courtesy of National Geographic z
Baby polar bears in utero, not clumps of cells; courtesy of National Geographic Baby Chihuahua puppy in utero, man's best friend; courtesy of National Geographic
i
Baby human in utero, also worthy of life too; courtesy of National Geographic 3 Civil rights movements have always been about expanding the freedoms for those whom are worthy of life, dignity, and due process; from freed slaves to Native Americans, to women and other minorities, and now to the unborn.
The late liberal free speech writer Nat Hentoff wrote that he was deeply influenced by Mary Meehan,_a fellow liberal and pro -life thinker by citing her and cited her quote:
It is out of character for the left to neglect the weak and helpless. The traditional mark of the left has been its protection of the underdog, the weak and the poor. The unborn child is the most helpless form of humanity, even more in need of protection than the poor tenant farmer or the mental patient. The basic instinct of the left is to aid those who cannot aid themselves. And that instinct is absolutely sound. It's what keeps the human proposition going.
The Left betrays itself by its dogmatic push for abortion on demand, even up to the moment of birth; and even heinously after birth. Their social utopian visions promote gas -lighting and coerced abortions, more akin to barbarous totalitarian regimes like Communist China. Their vision is inspired by racist eugenicists like Margaret Sanger whose ideas were readily adopted by totalitarian regimes in Europe almost a century ago.
Perhaps in the wake of the Dobbs decision America has earned back a little piece of its soul.
In this same vein, let's take this stand for our City of Temecula too.
Sincerely,
Rick Reiss
Temecula, California

Dear Mayor Rahn,
I reached out last August after that infamous city council meeting that lasted into the wee hours of the morning. I felt awful after watching a pastor attack your personal beliefs and relationship to God/religion. And to do so in such a public forum, in front of your family, was more than just distasteful. So, you must understand my surprise when I saw that you are aligned with that same pastor and his church now.
Last year I had no idea who you or Tim Thompson were. Now I have seen him in several forums and feel like he terrorizes this community with his "religious" grandiosity. He attended a school board meeting that I sit on and openly stated that he tells his congregation how to vote. While I still hold that your spiritual relationship is your personal choice, it is hard to look past that comment, how he spoke to you, and you now as sitting Mayor of our city linked to him and his church.
I do not respect Tim's confrontational approach. I believe that he continues to divide our city in the name of "God". This is a time where we need to come together as a community more than ever, and he is a part of the problem, not the solution.
I will close with this. Keep religion out of politics! Please remember that church only represents a portion of our community. There are others here with very different views and approaches and you represent us as well.
Sincerely,
Jenny Adamo

Good afternoon,
I do not support our city banning abortion. I can not believe that this city would violate a woman's right to determine their life.
In doing so I would suspect that many who would support this ban are also those that complain about child welfare programs and ignore the teens lingering in foster care. They are likely those that don't support child protection agencies with funding, and would rather mail individuals that ensure supportive services are provided. Furthermore, there is nothing done to Fathers who don't help care for these children once they are born. They are generally not held accountable.
Make a decision not based on your personal religious or radical beliefs, but instead on facts. You can't say one thing and do another as every decision made impacts others. Furthermore, no one has the right to determine a woman's life, no one but her.
Sincerely,

Hello Temecula City Council,
Thank you so much for your service within the Temecula community. Your dedication and commitment are admirable as I know that this is in addition to your personal lives.
As you know Temecula is taking steps to break out of the mold by introducing a sanctuary for life city.
This too is admirable as you are looking to step out of the status quo and be different from surrounding agencies.
Protecting the unborn is a responsibility, they are voiceless, and we as humans need to protect that voice. How we do this is to have resources for parents, for women and men that did not want to be pregnant like adoption, support that is needed for individual needs, parenting support, and necessities support.
I encourage the council to continue to stand out and stand up for the voiceless.

Dear Temecula City Council,
This letter is in response to an item on your agenda created by Jessica Alexander in order to remove the right to privacy from the women and men of Temecula.
I know that most of you on the council are quite aware of the insanity of this agenda item to make Temecula and anti choice city. I know that the majority of you are very clear that moving forward with this proposal will have a financially negative impact on our city that would harm the goals the city has created to improve the lives of our citizens.
Not only will this movement create a law suit by the state's district attorney, it will also decrease tourism and make the city a less desirable place to live. Does the city of Temecula have millions to support a potential law suit? Would you not rather spend the money on what the citizens have actually been asking for? Think of the number of pickle ball courts you could put in or better yet, think of the 50 meter pool that we now have 1000 signatures for from citizens. I highly doubt creating massive lawsuits, along with lost tourism has the backing of your residents.
The city council was not voted in to change laws and cause massive disruption. You were hired to increase the quality of life of the people you represent. I recommend the city council vote down this item and repremand the member who continually brings negative press to a flourishing city with great potential.
Sincerely,
Rachel Bollin

Why is Julie so critical of the 412 church, Tim Thomspon, and his affiliated candidates and office holders? You might have asked yourself this question. It's a valid question and it boils down to passion and principles. I am passionate about this country. I am passionate about our Constitution, our freedoms and our rights. They shall NOT be infringed and I will not watch them being trampled on.
Tim Thompson tells Jessica Alexander what to think, what to say, and what to do. She is subservient to her pastor and puts him above all else. She puts him above the law, the constitution, and her community. Once again we are here because she is making a mockery of OUR city, and trying to use her privilege and power as a public official to promote her extremist religious ideology upon our city and take rights away from those that she is supposed to serve.
This extremist thinking is seeping into our public governance. This thinking is incompatible with our laws in this country.
We do not and should not write laws purview to only one particular viewpoint or belief system. Trying to ban abortion in the city violates the California Constitution where reproductive choices are protected and rights have been declared through legal precedence in case law.
Why are we allowing an extremist religious thinking of ONE church to control our cities reputation, our legacy, and our future? Why hasn't our city attorney sanctioned and or censured Jessica for violating her oath to the constitution? Are we waiting for a huge lawsuit? Are we waiting for a member of the church to hurt someone? Why are we giving this conversation the light of day? Why wasn't she stopped the minute the words "Rosa Parks" fell out of her mouth? This extremist ideology has no home in Temecula. Jessica refused to learn about the history of our community and its indigenous roots when she refused to participate during the league of cities training. She refused to acknowledge our Igbtq community during the PRIDE month proclamation. She is also afraid about talking about racial inequality and wanted to remove the R in REDI. This is a similar narrative that churches had during Jim Crow (and not just in the south).
Many Pastors and parishioners didn't want to desegregate churches, schools, sport teams, restaurants etc. They didn't want women going to college. They didn't want women taking birth control, and they didn't want women working. We hear the murmurings of this with 412 members calling to end drag brunch, when LGBT businesses receive threatening calls and have the health department come multiple times a month. We hear this when they want to ban certain books from our beloved Scholastic book fairs. When they want the district to fire LGBT teachers for having a picture of their family on their desk. We see them attacking people in our public restrooms for their precieved gender identity. What's going to happen next, a lynching?
Why are we allowing the cruel, hurtful words and actions of Jessica and 412's Tim Thompson to be the conservation centered around our valley? As a city you have the power to put an end to this. Actions NEED consequences. Be
proactive and take a stand for liberty and justice for ALL. You can put an end to this tonight by formally repremindeding or removing Jessica from office.

Hello,
Temecula should not be a "Sanctuary city for the unborn" quote unquote. Abortion should be accessible to EVERY person with a uterus. Making abortion inaccessible is a violation of human rights. Abortion should be provided for free to any person with a uterus that requests it. The rights of people with uteruses should be respected. Making Temecula a "Sanctuary City" quote unquote forces birth to those that do not want it, causes poor health outcomes for pregnant people, and exacerbates social inequalities to the most marginalized people.

Good afternoon Council Members,
My husband, Jorge and I are long time residents of Temecula. We have lived here since 1984 and participated in voting for the city's name and incorporation. We are so very proud of Temecula and what it has accomplished. We remember seeing the long term plans and it is jaw dropping to see the fruition of this plans to make such a beautiful city.
We are extremely concerned about what councilwoman Jessica Alexander spoke of at the last meeting. She wishes to have Temecula become a non abortion haven. She is a member of the 412 church which is behind this measure.
Everyone has a right to their religion and personal beliefs but we do have a constitution which demands separation of church and state.
If this measure gets eventually approved, Temecula would no doubt be boycotted. People would choose to buy their cars elsewhere. They would not frequent our Old Town or Wine Country. We would lose so much credibility And money.
The job of the city council as we know it is to ensure the safety of its citizens, provide local transportation, support local businesses etc. It most certainly is Not a position that engages in political circus. It does not concern itself with national political issues.
Please keep it local folks. Keep our city one that everyone loves to live in and visit.
Respectfully yours,
Cynthia and Jorge Bustos

Councilmember Alexander has proposed that a Resolution Declaring Temecula a Sanctuary City for Temecula's Unborn is considered by the Council. Ms. Alexander's proposal is a self -interested attempt to thwart the laws of the State of California and bolster her own conservative agenda while abridging the fundamental human rights of the women of Temecula. The right to a legal and safe abortion in California is unassailable and if passed, the California attorney general has made clear that Alexander's resolution will be immediately challenged and ultimately overturned by the state.
Alexander's resolution will only serve to make Temecula a laughingstock with a growing reputation as a right-wing enclave that is on the wrong side of history. Although Alexander is selfishly willing to ignore the human rights of the women in her community and state mandates, I would hope that this City Council will do better and refuse to place this matter on any future Council agenda.

Subject: Jessica Alexander proposal
I have been a resident of Temecula for 29 years. Like many others I moved here to give my family a safe an affordable place to live. Recently Jessica Alexander and the leadership at the 412 Church have decided to interject their opinions into our community and attempt to present them as the general consensus of the population in Temecula.
Jessica Alexander has proposed that the city of Temecula become a "sanctuary city" for abortion, ultimately stating that the city of Temecula is "Pro -life" as a whole. I am not "pro abortion" but am absolutely and unhesitatingly Pro Choice. I do not believe that our government should interfere in a woman's right to make a choice concerning her body. I do not believe that anyone else should be involved in this very difficult choice other than a woman and her physician. As a community we need to provide education and resources and support to each other and especially to women who have had or will have to make this very difficult decision. I prefer Ms. Alexander and the 412 church do not attempt to use their voice to express the beliefs of an entire community. Ms Alexander herself has made it very clear that she does not support a woman's right to choose. She also is clearly not even pro life but for forced birth as she would not even wear a mask to protect others from a potentially dangerous infection. The great State of California has made a decision that We as a state will not take away a woman's right to choose. Ms Alexander does not get to state that our city will then not uphold the decision from our state.
I am wholeheartedly against the proposal by Ms. Alexander to make Temecula an anti choice city. I am also appalled at how the first amendment to our constitution is clearly skipped over by Ms Alexander and the 412 church - the separation of church and state must be upheld.

I am writing to express my disgust at the continuous grandstanding by Jessica Alexander and attempts to insert her religious views into the City of Temecula's government. "Government shall make no establishment of religion", is a tenant of our founding documents.
As the manager of Birth Choice she has a clear conflict of interest in attempting to impose the, "City of Life Sanctuary" resolution on the residents of this area.
I am curious, if a gun shop owner is elected to city council, will the council entertain that shop owner proposing a "mandatory gun ownership" resolution? As ridiculous as that sounds, so does Jessica's latest position.
Jessica's PR stunts may please her extreme Political Action Committee (disguised as a house of worship), but to the rest of the residents, visitors to the area and to local business owners, it is already having a negative impact locally and beyond our city.
Please stick to governing Temecula and not proselytizing while in public office.
Abortion is LEGAL in CA and is a medical matter between a woman and her medical provider, not the City Council.
Thank you, Mary Ann

Jessica Alexander is an embarrassment to the city of Temecula and it's residents. At no time in her position on city council has she put aside her personal agenda to focus on the needs of Temecula. Instead, she has consistently used her position to draw negative media attention with racist remarks and now litigation. The tax payers of Temecula should not have to pay for her failures, especially on this issue that is not supported by the majority of residents. Abortion services are healthcare, and are guaranteed in California's constitution.
I ask that Jessica Alexander resign from her position on Temecula City Council immediately, as she doesn't represent the values nor practice the professionalism necessary to hold this position.

Good afternoon ,
I want to first of all say how thankful and encouraged I was to hear that you have preposed this meeting to vote on making Temecula a Sanctuary city for the unborn,that takes great courage.
I have been told that 3 of the members are opposing it which of 2 are professing believers in Christ. I wanted to admonish and encourage you dear brothers or sister to be brave and courageous in doing what's right in the Lords eyes and not yeilding to the fear of man. You have am opportunity for such a time as this to be a light on a shining hill and changing the lives of countless children not just in your city but possibly in the world as they gain courage to stand for life beside your example! I'm praying for you all to honor your Lord Jesus Christ tonight and vote yes to save his children.

Hello Temecula City Council,
Thank you for your willingness to stand and be courageous. Often when two or three take a stand for what is right, they discover that there is an army willing to support them and cheer them on. I will be one in that army that chooses to support and cheer you on. Be strong and courageous in all that is good and true! Cities are looking for strong leaders that support and value life. I hope to see you stand and make a difference in Temecula and I hope other cities will be alerted to your strong stand. Families are suffering from the lack of strong leaders. We need you to stand firm.
Thank you,
Gale Parker

City Council Members,
I would like to thank Councilwomen Jessica Alexander for standing up for the unborn. It is so sad to see so many use abortion as birth control, not to mention late/full term abortions.
As a very longtime resident ... I would like to thank you for having the courage to stand up for the constituents that voted for you. You uphold our conservative values of God, Country and Freedom us. The city doesn't seem to have any issue with proclamations for everything under the sun including BLM, Hispanic month, Pride month, LGBTQRSS+-...why not one for the unborn? IQ
Ps- I am not a member of any church in this valley.... including 412. 1 was not told to write this by any pastor or person.

Dear Mayor and Council Members, my name is Ellen Gross and I live in San Diego. I am commenting tonight after reading that a certain member may bring up a discussion about making the City of Temecula a "sanctuary city" against abortion and women's reproductive health rights to protect fetuses, and likely also embryos. While I do not live in your beautiful city, I visit often for the wonderful wineries, tasty restaurants and other amenities your city offers.
As a citizen of San Diego and the State of California, and a lover of Temecula, I know that we all face myriad serious issues such as homelessness, poverty, drought caused by climate change, and weather conditions also caused by climate change. Municipalities with limited precious resources cannot and should not take any time from such serious issues to address the "personhood" of fetuses and embryos that one of your colleagues has raised and publicized for selfish political gain in the press and social media and perhaps tonight in public session. In anticipation of the agenda where you all can request items to be agendized, please swiftly and decisively take the issue of personhood for fetuses and embryos and being a "sanctuary city" for same off the table, if raised, never to arise again. It is illegal for you all as the legislative body in the State of California to attempt in any way to marginalize women's reproductive health. The oaths of office you take also preclude such activity.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Dear Council,
It has become impossible for me to come speak to you all tonight, face to face as I had hoped for, but I still wanted to make my voice, and others, heard.
I am addressing you not as part of an organization, group, or company, solely as a person filled with concern.
What I have to say is only directed towards a few of you, but out of respect for your position I do not feel the need to name you off.
I am concerned and embarrassed to live in a town like this where there are people who want to get rid of MY basic human rights. I am embarrassed that I even feel the need to express my thoughts. It is not only a priveilege but a RIGHT to have an abortion.
I can still support said groups who help grieving women after an abortion but that is not the case for most.
Are you really telling me that as an 18 year old college student who also works and is active in her community but cannot even afford to live on my own would have to face being a TEEN mother if I was forced into a sexual act without my consent?
I may be an adult but I am not the same adult as you. You are an adult who can afford a home, a car, taxes, bills, groceries, and maybe even to keep other humans alive. I am an adult who lives with her parents, goes to work and to college, but cannot afford to buy my own groceries, pay my own medical bills or car payments, or even afford the basics on my own.
Are you really telling me that you want to bring more children into this world that will not get to feel LOVE and be given the privilege of a good childhood as some of us did?
If you were genuinely Pro -Life then you would be doing more to help all the children stuck in the foster system and being forced through violent and harmful homes their entire childhood life. If you were truly Pro -Life, you would be doing more for all of the people with mental health problems that are contemplating taking their own lives. If you were genuinely and truly Pro -Life, you would be more to keep the people in your life, alive.
Are you telling me that you want to force YOUR opinion onto an entire city? It is in fact your opinion, and there is no other way to explain it.
I can agree with you that an abortion SEEMS wrong and that it is scary, but it is not YOU receiving the abortion.
I can agree with you that your RELIGION or your POLITICAL PARTY may be against abortion, but this has nothing to do with your religion or political party.
I can agree with YOUR DECISION to be Pro -life, but I need you to also agree with MY DECISION to be pro -choice.
I thought we were all taught from a young age to respect people's opinions and decisions, but at this moment I feel I was wrong.
I understand that you have received negative backlash from your community because of this, but it is for a REASON. I have grown up in this city and this community, but I have never felt so scared for my future in this city.
I urge you to reconsider your initial decision to spring this on the public, and leave the TOUGH decision of receiving an abortion to the women.
PLEASE, keep your opinions out of my body.
Thank you,
Emily Beile

I'd like to voice my support for the motion to make Temecula a sanctuary for life. We can best provide love and support to women when we value their lives and the lives of their babies! What a wonderful proclamation it would be to support the most basic of human rights for the most vulnerable.
Having worked with trafficked young ladies, I know the pain they go through when they realize they've been used and abused, forced into abortion and living with that regret. It harms them immeasurably and affects them physically, mentally, emotionally, and even financially. I have watched these young ladies suffer for years, harming themselves with their life choices which are ramifications from the pain they have endured. Abortion is life changing for women and life ending for babies. While women in CA are certainly free to do as they wish, it would be profound to take a stand as a city to not allow abortion clinics to operate in this town.
Thank you,

I'm writing tonight in regards to Jessica Alexanders "Resolution" being brought to the city council agenda for tonight — making Temecula a "sanctuary" city for fetuses. To say I'm disappointed in this city councils ALLOWING one of its own members to attempt to blatantly bring her OWN personal religious agenda into this city is an understatement.
You have taken an oath to the citizens of this city to do whats best FOR this city, and that means keeping RELIGION OUT of our government! I am an atheist myself and yet I don't insist everybody must reject god, that's their own personal right and part of our freedoms in this country, to believe what we CHOOSE to believe, not whats forced upon us! Frankly I see no place at city council meetings for PRAYER either, and that practice needs to be discontinued asap, its offensive to many of us.
The State of California, thankfully, has stayed a state where women can still choose whether or not they wish to bring a life into this world and take care of that life, it's a good law, and to attempt to undermine it is not only foolish but illegal, and our Attorney General has stated as much.
It seems to me that Jessica Alexander is simply trying to get attention in her party similar to Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Green.
Maybe its time for our City Council to start actually concerning themselves with what needs doing in this city — possibly our OWN police department?!, and what to LEAVE ALONE! When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the bible, and here it is right here in Temecula! Sincerely,
Temecula, CA 92592

Hello,
I work in Temecula and my children attend Temecula schools. I want to add my voice to say that I strongly oppose the idea of Temecula becoming a "sanctuary city" where abortions cannot be performed. This is not the role of city governments and we must follow the laws of the State of California which allow women to choose autonomy over their own bodies. Considering that the Attorney General has already warned the City Council not to adopt this measure, I definitely hope that the issue will no longer be considered or discussed.
Regards,
Johanna Lack

If choice is what they demand, then make them own choice.
I fully support Temecula as a sanctuary city for life. I believe viability and value start at the moment of conception. In fact Psalm 139 13-16 tells us that God forms us in our mothers womb, and that God, even before the substance of us existed, documented all about us in His book. I am not going quote scripture, but I am going to use a stories out of the bible for analogy.
In the story of David and Goliath, David only needed a small smooth stone to slay the giant who desired to have his will over a nation. I'd like to offer you a small smooth stone to slay the giant you face today. The giant whose desire is have his choice alone. That is what they mean by pro -choice. Though they sell it as giving women a choice.
My main reason for comment is to show you the smooth small stone within your grasp and to encourage you to do what it takes to get make history. This is a history making moment. It takes something other than courage to do so. To stand against vitriol, and hypocrisy of choice by those who claim to desire it. You can slay that giant. The pro choice opponents of a sanctuary city, cry that if choice is removed, that real freedom is taken away because their privacy is. So, if they want choice, then make them have one. Pass an ordinance that mandates every person entering a reproductive center that offers or refers abortion services, must provide the information given by those who value not only the life of the mother, but the life of the unborn. You would acquire the information offered by both sides, approve it, and keep a copy so you can audit compliance to it. The ordinance would require the patient to receive everything they would receive if they were to enter a pro -life, pro adoption center, including receiving and seeing the ultrasounds, with the audio turned on. This way, the patient can actually make an informed consent decision. They would actually then have a real choice.
It's a win -win. The pro -choice get their choice, and the pro life get to present the life in the womb.
As city council members you took an oath to defend the weak, to preserve life, to make safety, your highest priority. This would be a good way to ensure Temecula is safe place for everyone.
You must defend the young, the immature, the emotionally unstable, the frightened, from those who will use that to their advantage.
Think about this for a moment. They want choice, so how can they then fight against that which they use as their moniker: Pro -choice.
Someone may ask, so why does the pro -choice organizations have to be the only ones this ordinance applies too? Simple. 1st they identify as pro -choice and 2nd. they are ones advocating for the act of violence on the patient and on the life inside her. Every pregnant person knows if they do nothing, they will be eventually giving birth to a child. That "tissue" is alive. It is an act of violence to end it. Therefore, the greater burden for the justification of ending that which is life, falls squarely on their shoulders. That is what a sanctuary does. It make is difficult to end life.
Now, if it took both groups to have to present the information, I wouldn't fight against it. I know that when presented with the actual truth, women will by far choose life. They know that too. So, the giant will threaten, fight, get violent, intolerant. See real choice actually scares them. They prefer the silence of a womb, not the heartbeat of one. It is not their "choice".
A servant of Elisha the prophet woke up one morning, walked outside his tent and saw an army surrounding the tent. He tells Elisha who yawns and says there are more with us then against us. The servant's eyes were opened and he saw thousands of angels on chariots of fire all round the other army. That truth exists for you. There are more with you than against you.
The choice, the pro -choice cry for is the small smooth stone. It is their Achilles heel. The giant before you will fall if you take the stone and use it. This is not a question of " do you have the courage?". You do. That is why you are serving in those seats. It doesn't take courage to do the right thing. It takes integrity. Only you can surrender that way in cowardice.. The powers of our state capital have threatened you because they are scared. They know if you stand in your integrity, they will lose. They are losing already. There are more with you than against you. Call their bluff. Vote Yes. Sling the stone of mandated choice and slay that faux giant and save lives. Create a sanctuary for both mother and child. Make history.

Regarding Making Temecula a Pro -Life Sanctuary:
As a resident of Temecula who is capable of having kids, I am embarrassed that this topic ever made the agenda. You can't force someone to have a child if they don't want one. We all know there are an infinite amount of reasons why a person would choose not to keep a pregnancy. However, that is between them and their doctor. You, the city council, are not included in that.
It's funny how some people like to complain about their rights being taken away, but are more than okay with removing a federal right that had been on the books for 50 years. Roe v. Wade did not require people to have abortions. It gave them a chance to choose if having a kid right then was what they needed. A bunch of people complained about Obamacare and government overreach into medical decisions back when it went into effect. Are you not doing the same by making the local government take a stance on reproductive medical rights? I know I am one of many who DO NOT support making Temecula, or anywhere in the world, a pro -Life sanctuary. If you don't ever want an abortion, that is your choice. But do not take away the right to choose from the rest of us. - Elizabeth Garcia

I am here this evening to speak up and to be just one of the advocates, a voice for the unborn ... a voice for life!!! "For God so loved the world that He GAVE His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
"Children are a gift from God".
Termination of a baby is inhumane in Gods eyes and the doing away with any innocent life is murder Let's give the unborn a chance to live...
Praying for each of you to voice yes...
We need to respect All life -
that is not what abortion does.
Thank you for your time.

I've lived in Temecula since 1999 and must speak up now regarding the illegal and illogical resolution by Council Member Alexander.
Proposing a "sanctuary city for the unborn" is fundamentally incompatible with our society as a whole on all moral and ethical grounds. I am disgusted that someone newly elected to power in our city is so uneducated about the law. She is ignorant of the Health and Safety Code which is a subset of the California Constitution.
In 1981, the California Supreme Court held that "all women in this state rich and poor alike possess a fundamental constitutional right to choose whether or not to bear a child." (Comm. to Defend Reprod. Rights v.
Myers (1981) 29 Cal.3d 252, 262).
Consistent with this precedent, the Legislature enacted the Reproductive Privacy Act (RPA), which codified a woman's fundamental right to procreative choice (Health & Saf. Code, § 123462). To that end, the Legislature forbid the state "and every county, city, town and municipal corporation" in the state from interfering with a woman's right to choose to bear a child or obtain an abortion (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 123464 subd. (c), 123466; see also Missionary Guadalupanas of Holy Spirit Inv. v. Rouillard (2019) 38CalApp.5th 421, 435 [abortions are a "basic health care service" and must be covered by health plans].) Those who violate established laws designed to protect vulnerable people should and will be stopped, and their personal bigotry and irrational fears are not to be respected.
Instead, our Council should focus on the struggles (homelessness, poverty, public transit, etc.) now in our community.

Sorry, the majority of you people are just a bunch of Democrats and not Christian's. If some of you say you are Christian's I laugh. Better read the bible people. Other than Jessica you are all just lying political Gavin Newsome pawns.
I heard so many lies in your individual speeches that it made me sick. By the way our city is not safe because of any of you. It is safe because of our sheriff not you worthless political jerks.
Good luck all ..... you will have to answer for your stupid personal decisions and if you really think you are a Christian you know what I mean. By the way there is only one law and that is God's and you will have to answer to Him one day. Let's see how that works out. If any of you wish to respond I welcome your comments but I doubt I will get any that make any sense.

Subject: Municipal legislative actions
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Ms. Alexander,
During the Temecula City Council meeting this evening, you stated your belief that "a resolution is not a law," and thus it cannot go beyond matters of municipal concern that have been preempted by state law. This is incorrect. Legislative actions of municipalities may take the form of an ordinance or resolution. Crowe v. Boyle (1920) 184 Cal. 117.). "A municipal resolution is used to express the opinion of the legislative body, or to reflect the action taken." Sausalito v.
County of Morin (1970) 12 Cal. App. 3d 550; Central Manufacturing District, Inc. v. Board of Supervisors (1960) 176 Cal.
App. 2d 850.
Since a resolution can be revoked by a vote, it may be a more appropriate legislative action when dealing with temporary or special matters. In contrast, an ordinance can only be repealed by a subsequent ordinance, making it a more binding and robust option.
Municipal resolutions that exceed the scope of matters of municipal concern may be preempted by state law. For example, in Younger v. Berkeley City Council, the court affirmed a grant of permanent injunction "which barred the application of city council's resolution ... because the field was preempted by state law and the resolution dealt with a matter beyond matters of municipal concern." Younger v. Berkeley City Council (1975) 45 Cal App.3d 825.
I hope this helps to clarify the nature of the actions that may be taken by the City Council.
Going forward, perhaps you could stop wasting the time of the city council and focus on something productive and within the scope of your job. Learning the basics of municipal legislation and ethics would be a good start.
Best,
Kara Gelman

I think your heart is in the right place but women need to have access to healthcare.
It is hard to understand unless you are in the medical field.
Please try to understand that abortion is a necessary evil.

Morning Jessica,
We've never met and I'm not from your district but I wanted to write and thank you for the stand you take in our community for life, morality and sanity. As I listened to the comments of those opposing your Sanctuary City proposal, my heart was grieved for you and your family.
Please don't give up the battle. Many appreciate you, your efforts and are standing with you and will be praying for God to give you the strength to endure the attacks against you and lead us to a life saving and God honoring community.
Grateful that you're here...

Jessica , my body and other women in this town are not your or council business. Women needs to decided for their own bodies ,not anybody else.
It is better focused on people ,who are homeless now then abortion. You will add more homeless on the street in future, if you ban the abortion. Take off this ban and you have to know Americans women bodies are not your business.... not business of the councils and not business of any churches....

you have shamelessly used your position on our city council for blatant self promotion and as a platform for your religious beliefs. You have had more than your 15 minutes of fame. It is time for you to resign from your position and allow someone that understands their role as a council member to take your place.

Hello Stew,
I watched a recording last night of the meeting after my evening coaching responsibilities at Great Oak High School. As a District 4 resident, I appreciate your comments toward the fact you represent ALL constituents, rather than just a single political group or passionate faction.
I was pleased that the council voted 4-1 to not further pursue Ms. Alexander's interest in a city resolution. Your comments provided sound backing as to why the city and city council could not pursue this.
I find it unfortunate that the council had to spend a significant period of time on this and be the host of a public debate over an issue that has polarized our states and nation for well over fifty years without resolution.
Thank you for your diligence and commitment to our citizens as a whole.

Having attended the council meeting last night, I wondered if the council members saw what I was seeing ... the anger and vitriol with which pro -abortion supporters ALWAYS express themselves. You cannot reasonably defend what is indefensible without the forces of evil being exposed. There was such a contrast between them and the pro -life crowd, that you would have to be blind or in denial not to see or sense that. Half truths and out-and-out denial is their mantra.
Although I'm saddened with the outcome, it was not a surprise. It's been clear, over time, politics reigns supreme, even when you call yourself pro -life. To defend your stance, it was brought up over and over again that you must serve all Temecula citizens... but that's a screen. Last night's conclusion certainly did not serve all. What happened was you took the easy route which would inflict the least amount of damage to the woke mentality which is currently prevalent in society (and within our city council) and the least amount of damage to your political aspirations.
Pro -Life warriors know what they're up against at all times, and when Jessica spoke about these evil forces, she was correct... Satan, demons ... all of it is real whether you believe it or not. Rest assured (or not), we all have an exit interview at the end, and we must ask ourselves how our actions will line up with the teachings of Our Lord.

I recently read your City Council are considering banning abortions. This is a womans right to make a decision. If you are going to control a person's body then why not make a man who has fathered several kids and refuses to pay child support have a vasectomy? It goes both ways. We have a right to decide what we want. The government is taking the women's fundamental rights away. We are being put back in time. Next our voting rights will be taken. This is our body.
If you decide to take this right there will be deaths due to the back -room abortions like it was before.
Funny how do many men feel they should control a woman's body. Yet how many laws are in place to control men. So, if you decide to take enforcing abortion make a law to make men get a vasectomy.

Dear Ms. Alexander:
Below is the email sent to your fellow council members. Many prayers are being prayed for you, then and now. From a prayer warrior who stands prayer vigil in front of FPA twice a week for over two years and has been in the fight for over 45 years, I want to thank you for your perseverance, dedication and love for the precious babies. Last night was so difficult to watch and hear. The blasphemy toward you, but especially Our Lord, was heartbreaking. The 40 Days for Life campaign begins today and we started off with a bang last night! We know who wins the battle in the end! Blessings to you and your family...

Subject: Citizen Comment - "Unborn Sanctuary City" Resolution CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
I would like to submit a citizen comment on the proposed resolution by Councilperson Jessica Alexander to make Temecula a "sanctuary city for the unborn."
I strongly disagree with the action to infringe on our population's body autonomy and do not see how a city council responsible for zoning, redistricting, and budgeting decisions would be legally able to overstep the clear law set forward by our state government.
The California Attorney General has already voiced that if a resolution is adopted it will be challenged in the courts, leading to my tax dollars being used to fight for a personal opinion put forward by a council member.
If the city council has in fact been re-created as a governing body that circumvents the rule of law set forward by the state, then at a minimum I strongly disagree with the resolution and feel there should be made more opportunity for those of us in opposition to raise our concerns rather than having minimal open discussion time and a disorganized comment submission process.
Thank you,

Hello,
We received a call from resident Julie Georgiow. She wanted to express her disappointment in the Council Members decision not to move forward with adding the request of claiming Temecula as a sanctuary City for the unborn. She also mentioned that she is disappointed that there are Council Members who claim to be Christian on the council and they don't care about this issue, and it is saddening to see they are for killing babies. She says we live in such a good City, and it is going in a direction that is not very family oriented.

I would like to thank you for your bravery in keeping your composure in the face of the brutal attacks you endured last night. The ignorance of your fellow members who caved to the pressure brought to them by the bureaucracy in Sacramento was astounding.

Your attack on Jessica Alexander was unprecedented you could have made your comments known without all the nasty rhetoric. She was trying to make Temecula a safe place for woman to come who needed help with an unplanned pregnancy. Instead you are opening the door to have woman come from everywhere, paying for their transportation and their abortion to the City of Temecula. You may have stated you received 85% of emails against it and that's only due to the fact that the rest of the hardworking taxpayers were to busy trying to earn a living to support themselves. I for one can only pray that your term is ended soon!

Unfortunately for you that you did not see all the God fearing patriots in the room down the hall and that your chances for reelection were severely compromised..

I really thought that when you started speaking last night that you would take a stand for the life of a child, unfortunately that was not the case. Jessica Alexander is the only brave soul on the City Council! If we do not start defending the unborn who will? Instead we will go along with the Governors agenda to get rid of as many as possible, fly them in from everywhere pay for their air fares and abortions and murder a life. This is so evil and sick and if folks don't wake up to this evil agenda we are doomed. When it's time to meet your maker can you go with a clear conscious? I have pity on your soul.

Council,
I have been a resident of Temecula for 18 years. I am a homeowner, a mother, a voter. and a taxpayer. I am absolutely disgusted by the behavior of Ms Alexander. I can no longer brag about my community or be a proud member of this City.
Ms Alexander is supposed to represent ALL of the Temecula community. It is appalling that Temecula is represented on local news as an anti -abortion, anti-women's rights community. We have now made the news for our council member's racism, bigotry, ignorance, and hate. I just signed the Change.org petition to recall Ms Alexander and I can only hope it gets traction and moves forward. I promise to vote in every election moving forward to combat the disgusting turn our city council has taken. Today I am embarrassed to be a Temecula City resident.
Be better!

I could not believe your flippant approach at the meeting last night. What has happened to the city of Temecula you have taken it from a safe God fearing place to a place where gay bars are Ok and now come one come all and get your abortion on taxpayer money. You have given in to the bureaucracy in Sacramento and their evil agenda. Where are the people who will take a stand instead of cowering? Our founding fathers did not put abortion into our Constitution and it is not a right! There are safeguards in unwanted pregnancies such as contraception, morning after pills in rape cases. We are going down a road where there will be no turning back we have to stand up and fight for whats right is this not your job as council member? Jessica Alexander is the only brave soul on that Council and I pity and pray for all of you!

Hi Mr. Rahn,
I understand that last night's city council meeting was a difficult one to lead. While I appreciate your attempt to keep the tone cordial and neighborly, the issue brought forth by Ms. Alexander was not intended to be innocuous, innocent, or neutral. She intentionally introduced an inflammatory topic and then sat on the dais acting shocked when the public was outraged. Women's rights are not a topic to speak politely about. I did not appreciate your lecturing of the public for their rightfully placed anger. You came across as condescending and "fatherly". The people of Temecula do not need a parent to tell us to not be mad when our basic rights are challenged. I am proud of our community for coming out and showing up. Your vote against the continuation of this resolution was not unnoticed. Thank you for ultimately standing with the beliefs of the community.

Keep your religion and personal beliefs out of government. You were elected to run government, not to try to influence people's personal actions and choices they make with their doctor.
You have ZERO right to try to stand above others and castigate your personal beliefs and religion upon them. The 4-1 vote by the counsel shows how out of touch you are with reality and how unpopular you are. You are a hypocrite.
Shame on you. Your antics have marred Temecula's image on the national stage, much like Trump has. If that's your goal, move to Florida.
Many will be working to make sure you aren't re-elected in 2024.

Dear Councilmember Schwank,
My name is Kim Vaughan. I am a native of the state of California and I made Temecula my home in 2018. 1 lived in South Orange County, specifically Laguna Niguel for 25 years where my 2 children grew up. I have been watching from the sidelines and learning about the "vibe" of this city since I moved here and it has been very interesting to say the least.
I have recently become aware of certain issues that have been percolating in this area that continue to blur the lines between government and religion. I believe that others have the right to live, worship and vote according to their own values, but that their right ends there. A number of people and certain religious leaders that don't understand that concept of freedom are compelled to impose their values of everyone else. This is not appropriate and is certainly not acceptable.
The good news is that these issues have brought many people in this city to the table and I see the call to action growing. I found your comments at the last council meeting encouraging. You were able to present a voice of reason that is desperately needed at this time in our local leadership.
Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Kim Vaughan

Dear Temecula City Councilwoman Jessica Alexander,
Thank you for standing your ground and providing a compelling argument against abortion in support of Temecula being a sanctuary city, Tuesday 27 September 2022. I sent a similar statement to a friend and wrote, "Remember William Wilberforce." He wrote back, "Remember John Paul Jones — We have just begun to fight." How is it that bacteria on Mars is considered life, but a viable fetus is not? Every pre -born child is a human being deserving of protection as the most vulnerable members of our society.

I am relieved to learn that for now this will not be the rule of law for Temecula. I really wanted to be at the meeting, but I have learned my mother is battling health issues so I had to make travel arrangements. My story is long but here is the short version. I was stationed in Spain when a dear friend found out she was pregnant after experiencing a medical emergency caused by the pregnancy. It was in her tubes and the military doctors did what needed to be done. I never questioned her about it I just supported her as a friend. I don't know what if any laws were in place then, but as an American service member on Foreign soil to have to shop around for medical care could have been a disaster. I've lived in Temecula for 25 years paying property taxes going to the same medical group I don't believe they provide this service but if they do I shouldn't have to shop around for care somewhere else. I hope you continue to keep an open mind towards a woman's right on this issue because the choice is not an easy one for them.
Thank you

Mayor ProTem Schwank,
I viewed the Temecula City Council Meeting from this past week and wanted to thank you for your thoughtful comments in response to Councilmember's Alexander "no -abortion" resolution. Your reasoned and intelligent (and correct) response is needed in this heightened time of hyper -partisanship and infringement on people's rights. Just this past year, I brought forth an item in Walnut Creek (the first in the East Bay) to protect women's safety at reproductive clinics with an 8 foot buffer zone to keep protestors from abusing or preventing the rights of women to be exercised.
I just wanted to let you know that your comments were heard beyond Temecula and throughout California. I don't believe we've met before (at Cal Cities conference or a committee — I sit on the Environmental Quality Policy Committee for CalCities), but should we be at a league event in the future, I'd like to buy you a cup of coffee/drink and thank you in person.
My best regards,

Hi Jessica,
Just wanted to say thank you! I stand with you and we should protect our little babies. We have to ban together. We need to get other cities and communities involved. Please know this is such a calling on my heart. Please let me know if I can help you in anyway. The fact that they had 80% of the community calling in and supporting the right to an abortion..... I say bull!!!!! That is someone paying people to call —they are not real. Our communities are very conservative. Its time we take our local government and state back. Don't give up.
If people could just understand. How many people do you know that would be ok with a dog who is pregnant to have her puppies pulled from her belly so she doesn't have puppies ... let the puppies die. NO ONE WOULD! Abortion is cruel and sick. Of course people will say- NO they would all be up in arms and work to find them homes- they wouldn't stand for it. People would cry and throw a fit over dogs and puppies but somehow it's ok with doing this to a human baby???? People have lost their minds.
Anyways just wanted to say thank you! Lets not give up- people are just brainwashed and they really don't know what they are doing or saying. You are strong, they are weak- so thank you. I stand with you and would love to help in anyway that I can.

Hello Matt,
I am emailing about the abortion topic and make Temecula a sanctuary city for babies. I believe you stated that you received several calls, 80% of the people supported keeping abortion... I say that is bull spit! You might have gotten the calls but they were not real people in the community. You are being deceived sir. A woman cannot have the right to kill another human being because that human is a hindrance to her. What if people did that in the community, just took out everyone that was a bother to them. I guess we should line up people on social programs and elderly, it's a bother to care and pay for them right- extra expense.... So wrong. Please stand up and listen to your true community... I didn't even know this was going on. I would have been there. I will be on the alert and this subject is coming back trust me.
You have to stand strong and know that killing a human is not right. I wonder if you were having a meeting about dogs and aborting their puppies because the owner thought they were inconvenient... everyone in the community would be on the city doorsteps and you would be fighting along side them because it would not be the right thing to do, we could find homes for them right!!!! But for some reason a human life doesn't matter as much. It is disgusting. When are people going to stand up and be brave. You know what I am saying here is right! Stand up! M Make sure the community is aware of this and get all of us in to talk about it. People need to be vetted to make sure they are in the community before their voices should be heard, not just a phone call. Its easy to pay a group of people to call in and say whatever the big bucks want them to say. I pray that when this comes back you stand strong.
Thank you

Dear coucilmember Jessica Alexander
I'm a former east Los Angeles street cop of 7 years then was " called " to be a physician- I've practiced 33 years in Temecula - did missionary medicine in several countries and support your sanctuary city for the unborn children to save them from "convenience killing."
I also affirm your China Virus or Chinese Communist Party Virus as does the Epoch Times newspaper.
Abortion: As a medical student I've witnessed an abortion at 20+ weeks. I naively did a bimanual exam on a young woman thinking the surgery ( ILIP) was a ( (IVP) Intrauterine Pregnancy vs an Intravenous Pyelogram for removal of a kidney stone. I refused to assist the "surgeon " who constantly wanted me to participate in the killing of a baby I had moments before had cradled between my two hands in utero ! He called me every vial name in front of the sx team in the OR and threatened to have me kicked out of medical school.
I've had patients who have had 4,6 up to 8 abortions - they use them as a convenience- paid for by tax$ by planned slaughterhouse. They say they don't but they do - millions and millions of. $ . It's a huge biz.
Anyway, Keep up the fight!! If you need my help to talk from REAL EXPERIENCE to the knuckle heads I'd be glad to.
God Bless your unwavering commitment for the unborn.

Hello,
I have been a resident of Temecula for the last six years. This last Tuesday was the second time I've attended a city council meeting specifically to make sure I stood with my fellow citizens who correctly identified a misguided and inappropriate resolution proposal that would only serve to divide and hurt the people who live here.
There were many powerful and amazing speeches made that denounced her and her idea. I did not speak or even have comments prepared in case I was called up because while strong rhetoric is called for in times like these, it is ultimately pointless to argue with a zealot.
We were there to support you, not persuade her.
Her "truth" is set in stone and no reasoned or well -supported argument can have any sway. It is stubborn and will not compromise or concede. This is not a strength but a weakness. It is why people laughed at her. It is why people, including me, shouted and let our anger be heard. It is why the community ultimately embraces better, healther ideas and isolates those who would do them harm.
I would like to think that if I had a chance to speak I would have been eloquent or succinct but it doesn't matter. I hope I would have been able to gather my composure and say something simple enough for her to comprehend:
Your God says YOU can't do that - ok, fine .... go live your life Your God says I can't do that - F*#k off, weirdo!
Maybe that's immature to wish I could have told her off or it can be criticized as "disappointing" but ah, well..... doesn't really matter now.
Americans should never tolerate morality police who would instill a theocratic order at any level of our society or use any official power to claim a self -declared moral high ground and look down upon the rest of us who believe differently.
They deserve to be loudly told to go kick rocks.
As we all experienced, Tuesday was a loud night. But something quieter happened that I'd like you to know about.
Something I could see from my seat in the audience.
I watched her face during the chaplin's invocation. It was still and calm during the first moments. Then, upon hearing him say the word "diverse" as an adjective to describe our community, she flinched.
Surprise, then disgust, then a coldness rolled over her face.
I believe, at that point, she stopped listening to the chaplin because she looked away from him, up to the ceiling and began to silently mouth her own prayer, if it could be called that.
I held her in low esteem before; but, that moment convinced me that she does not respect all of us, the vision for our city, or truly the American ideals that were not fully realized upon our country's founding but still inspire us to be better than our past.
She is not fit to serve our city. Her extremism is a cancer.
I have my own religious beliefs. I do not bring them into my workplace.
I may wish things were a certain way. I do not attempt to interfere with anyone else's life.
I have privilege and a certain amount of ease walking in this world. I do not consciously use it to further an "us" versus "them" conflict.
I have a wife and daughter. I do not want them to live under local, state, or federal laws that limit their rights.
Please do not get conned into letting even a vague resolution about this matter get issued. With attacks from people like her, it's always the first crack in the armor that ultimately proves ruinous.
Yes, some clarity about the process of issuing resolutions can get clarified but please know that if even the most innocuous wording drafted by her and those other soft -head charlatans comes up for debate, we will be back to shout it down again.
Because it is clear. It's so dumb and blatant.
We see it's her goal to either score a win and do something that can be hailed as a victory for her cultish movement or simply continue feeding the outrage cycle which she and Thompson hope will gain them increased notoriety and fundraising totals. She is playing politics. She is conning the marks. She is creating a hostile work environment for city staff and the police officers who had to be there last night to protect the peace which she is disrupting.
I can't believe that, at a city council meeting, she had the audacity to proclaim that at the end of our lives, we "will meet (our) maker and be judged" and apparently, according to her, be eternally damned for not taking action to demean and discourage access to a legal healthcare procedure. I am a person of faith but I still yelled out "Not all of us believe that!" because as an American, I will always defend my non -believing fellow citizens and not allow bullies to use religion as a cudgel. Shame on her. Shame and dishonor for violating her oath.
If a future resolution passes, it will endanger healthcare workers who provide necessary services to Temecula residents.
It will make it look like the city favors only one group's religious beliefs. It will be seized upon as a foothold to try more of this nonsense. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing strong last Tuesday. Please do not waver.
This is already a long message. I could write more about 412's concurrent effort to pack our school board. Her support for those individuals is another stain on our city. Hopefully, I am at this point, preaching to the choir. I believe you also see her true nature and know Temecula deserves so much better.
My request is this - to the extent possible, do not allow her to preach from that seat she occupies during council meetings. It is unseemly and vulgar. It is un-American.
Thank you for your time reading this email. Thank you for your service to our community.
All my best,
David Burrus

I sure hope the city can stay out of this controversial issue as far as passing some kind of local resolution or ordnance! The issue belongs with the state legislature and governor, NOT individual counties, cities, school boards, improvement districts, HOA's, etc..
If a council member needs to be pressing for action on these issues they need to step down locally and get elected to a state office. The Supreme Court left this to STATE Legislatures, not every local jurisdiction.
Thank you

PS We have a nightly camper at Riverton park. I have let Stacy Fox at City know last week but nothing has taken place.
Got nothing against people being homeless but the park is CLOSED from 9 PM to 5 AM., at least according to the sign.

I am disappointed you didn't stand for life. If we cannot trust you to stand at the City level against evil, then we certainly cannot trust you to stand for truth and righteousness at any other level of government as it gets more wicked as you move up. Now we are not just a sanctuary state for murdering the innocent in the womb, we are a sanctuary state to destroy our youth as a sanctuary for transgender Ian because as children they think with emotions and not critical thinking. Shame on this evil government, shame on the 4 city council members who fear man more than God. You will account for what you did and didn't do while here, and that scares me for you all. Bless Jessica - God will say to her one day "Well done my good and faithful servant"

I am very disappointed that the majority of the city council caved to the fear of man over standing for righteousness.
We all know it wasn't a law, it was a statement to go out to California that we stand for life. But you caved. I see you one award presented to you was a "Family First" award. I think your vote nullifies that.
Evil is growing and it is because people are not standing up for righteousness. Now we are not just a Sanctuary State for the murder of the innocent we are a sanctuary state for the destruction of our youth, and our very identity. Feelings over biology. Convenience and selfishness over the sanctity of Life.
When Jessica, meets God, she will be told "Well done my good and faithful servant." What will you hear? Sent from my iPhone

Matt,
I know your a new Christian and taking a stand with Jessica regarding the sanctify of life is critical .
Our country is in peril because we have sacrifice 70 m lives at the alter of evil.
How can I support you for State Assembly if you can't stand for the unborn at the local level ? Our country is losing its way because we are in a spiritual battle and it's time to take a stand against evil in all its forms and be counted by God .
I urge you to stand up against Gov Newsome and his wicked leadership. Please don't get pulled into the evil corrupt ways of his Satanic leadership that continually attempts to erode the family and all its stands for.

As I read your bio, it surprises me that you did not Stand for Life. A Trinity graduate, children, 6 grandchildren would indicate a man who knows the word of God and is a family man. I am disappointed that you did not take a stand against this evil state and it's tyrannical entity that is destroying everything good.
We are not dumb, we know Jessica was wanting a Resolution stating Temecula stand for Life - she wasn't passing a law.
The fact that the news and the crazies keep trying to pass that lie off as truth is laughable and is being used for you all to justify your vote. The truth is you and the other 3 are more afraid of man than God. And this is why the evil entity in Sacramento keeps upping the evil here. Now we will do not just promote the murder of the innocent and relish in it, we will now allow the young to destroy themselves based on emotion and confusion and relish in that. This is abominable and evil will co ti he to abound unless His people stand. The fact that you caved on something as simple as standing for life gives me little hope you will stand for anything righteous.
Jessica stood for her beliefs and will one day be told "Well done my good and faithful servant," if I were you I'd be afraid of the words you will hear. But that can change, and I hope it does.

Stew,
You will have to stand and be judged whether you personally believe or not. You had an opportunity to make a statement for the unborn that have no voice . You chose to the easy path that aligns with our evil CA Gov. Someday you will have to answer for this cowardly world view stand vs speaking for the unborn . You chose to align yourself with the vocal minority but the silent majority is watching I am watching your creator is watching . We will vote you out next election because of inaction like this .

Our Sheriff is elected and stands for his constituents vs with Corrupt CA leadership . He is still standing and will be re- elected because he of his moral courage . You will have to answer for this decision . If I'm the future you have an opportunity to demonstrate moral courage in the face of a vocal minority I pray that you demonstrate .

As someone who has received a previous award for family you recently voted against a resolution to respect the sanctify of life . Like Pastors in leadership who lead their flock astray they will be held accountable to God . I pray that you can exhibit moral courage in the face of the vocal minority the next time you are called to vote , otherwise you too will be held accountable to your creator.
I will actively campaign against you the next time you run for a position .

Dear Councilwomen Alexander,
I have noted your actions regarding abortion. In this crazy world, it takes a lot of courage to stand up for what you believe. Abortion has been part of human's history since the first days of populating the earth. The life or death of a fetus sadly is part of our human's DNA. With God's direction the life of a fetus or baby is winning out.
I am a retired citizen who loves this country and grew up in Illinois. I have had job assignments which have taken me to most parts of this country. I served as Councilman and elected Mayor for a city in Illinois. In California I have been a Senior Executive on some of the state's largest infrastructure and environmental projects and consulted and advised Governors, Mayors, Supervisors, council members, educator's and members of Congress. I also represented a major corporation In Washington DC and worked with both Senate and House members.
The question of Abortion has always weighed heavy on me. I was 34 when it was legalized and I have witnessed over these past years the pain and confusion within my family, friends and acquaintances both men and especially women. I understood the right to respect the reproductive choice of a woman but I could never understand how women and policy -makers could use the unborn as some kind of money making and political power tool. Over these years I have seen how this whole issue has completely misused the real needs of women with hateful division. A real issue is one of responsibility over one's body to practice safe sex and for the women to choose a partner wisely. These actions too often are bad choices and end in pain for the woman, the man walks away and their creation pays the price. Not even Mother Nature could create such a destructive process. I had previously written the attached article and updated it recently. I pray it will of some value. God Bless.

Abortion Requires Communication Not Division
By Dennis M O'Connor
There have been several events that have had a major impact with attitudes towards our fellow citizens and for the values of this country; first, the mass killing of young children in Newtown and recently in Texas second the changes to the law that legalized abortion. Both have amplified the social conflicts that are facing each of us as Americans including the control of guns and the control of a women's right to choose. We can and should reflect on each event and man's violent nature and ask the question "Is it really possible to have a better life".
Linking them is also part of the overwhelming grief that is shared from these tragedies. It was stated by President Obama when he spoke of terrible shootings in Newtown, "They had their entire lives ahead of them, birthdays, graduations,
w weddings, kids of their own." Pro -Life supporters supported the President and felt the pain of those 27 including the 20 % children who lost lives on December 14, 2012. On the June 2022 Superior Court ruling of Roe v. Wade pro -life supporters prayed that the President of these United States would be just as engaging towards the scores of unborn children that have been lost over 50 years.
In my thirty's I personally remember the tragedy of women facing unsafe abortions and death.
My focus was on protecting the women and the fetus was very secondary. As I grew so did science and technology and as I witnessed a growing fetus I saw two lives a woman with a child.
I also witness the establishment of a moneymaking corporation that encouraged abortions and power hungry political leaders who have divided our country. It frightens me Are women's choices being communicated to unite women's needs? Are women's interests not as important as the privileged use of money and political power?
When does life begin? And who has the right to give or take away life? One could argue that in our society. In today's abortion thinking the fetus or child must be destroyed, the life must end.
We have become obsessed with ending life. We have forgotten how to improve and protect against rape, incest, medical procedures, and the trauma of terminating or carrying a baby to term not wanting that child. The privileged news, Social media and political leaders have made life seem so simple and strait forward that the natural virtue of life and its rights have lost their meaning. Life is inconvenient, the enemy or to be desensitized. Even in the judicial system the question of life has been raised, recall Justice Harry Blackmun's statement in Roe v. Wade, "We need not resolve the
difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theologies are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer" There are those that would respond to Justice Blackmun's and pro -Life crusaders with the wise and simple statement especially with today's science that it is better to be "safe than sorry" when contemplating something as profound as when life begins.
Induced termination of pregnancy has a long world history in fertility and population control; however there has always been controversy and debate. Differing theology, values, moral and philosophical orientations have created attitudes which have had a significant impact on the scientific, technological, educational and policy objectives of societies across the globe. In the United States gaining the access to safe and legal abortions in 1972 finally allowed a woman to have the basic right of controlling her own body. Prior to legal abortion, women had two options: undergo an unsafe, illegal abortion that put their bodies at risk, or continue their pregnancy, even in situations that were disadvantageous to both the woman and the unborn child. Pro - choice feminist crusaders viewed the right to an abortion as integral to a women's right to sovereignty.
These concepts on the surface sounded logical," lets equalize women," let women control their own bodies." Their positions spawned crusader movements including "pro -choice" and" pro - life" and the social conflicts we now experience. The unfortunate reality was there was limited focus on other critical issues like the fetus, choice vs. murder, fertility control, religious values, education and the impact on the human species. These concerns needed to be communicated and understood along with the lasting effects abortion has had on marriage, family institutions and man's humanity. In 1964 then President Lyndon Johnson in his ideas for a Great Society stated "Many of you will live to see the day, perhaps fifty years from now, when there will be 400 million Americans." Fifty years later we have 350 million Americans, but in the last fifty years there have been 64 million abortions. Add the numbers, we have lost a third of our children's generation. Does it make sense that our leaders and judicial system have overstated man's rational moral judgment to putting his own species at risk?
Accepting and Justifying abortions as a normal "way of life" can be quite puzzling. Pro -choice crusaders say we must have abortions because they are a useful tool if we are to protect the rights of women. The abortion operation is very innocent, they call it a procedure and the fetus
is just an inconvenience to you. They tell you that you are doing the right thing and they treat you kindly. The room is sterile and the staff very friendly. Political leaders like Nancy Pelosi say it's the right thing, we are just protecting a women's right to chose. As far as concerns about religious beliefs, "It's just this conscience thing." Members of our society, the crusaders and the media have created the emotional distance that now allows a person to terminate a fetus and justify it more easily. Moral distance has also been created by defining motherhood and families as an inferior social status. The fetus is dehumanized and considered inferior. Like the Nazi's classified the Jews, in the United States, remember blacks and American Indians were also classified as inferior and subhuman.
In the end with abortion we have lost an individual life that is capable in all respects as we once were, a life that only needed the opportunities and privileges which we possessed to enable its existence. We have lost the opportunity to be a society which shifts our violent values to better choices for women like contraception, sex education and smart parental planning. After all who really wins these wars of individual conscience? No one, all sides lose heavily, the mother, the unborn child, the women of America and our humanity.
Freethinker Charles Darwin from his book The Origin of
Species states, "How fleeting are the wishes and efforts of man! How short his time! And consequently how poor will be his results, compared with those accumulated by Nature during whole geological periods! Can we wonder, then, that Nature's productions should be far "truer" in character than man's productions; that they should be infinitely better adapted to the most complex conditions of life, and should plainly bear the stamp of far higher workmanship?" Might a normal person reading that quotation wonder, regardless of whether they are pro -life or pro -choice, that if it has taken Nature eons to create our human morality does it make sense that man can justify a system in 50 years to kill life like swatting a fly?
There is hope in the tragedy of abortion and it will be the morality of our human nature that will finally sort out the abortion issue along with enhancing the real value of women in society.
We need only to look to the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection and morality which makes an implicit distinction between "good" or "ethical" situations, and "bad" or "unethical" ones which are eventually eliminated. It is logical that we will see higher moral values with anything that contributes to survival of the species, and evil with anything that destroys kills or thwarts the development of ethical systems like the unborn which is the basis of the species.
Respected Humanist, Philosopher A.J. Ayer in his book Language, Truth and Logic state "Ethics, too, are nothing but reverence for life. That is what gives me the fundamental principle of
morality, namely, that good consists in maintaining, promoting, and enhancing life, and that destroying, injuring, and limiting life are evil." Noted Author Philosopher Immanuel Kant in his book on the moral law stated; "Why should we want to act morally? That is, why should we will in a rationally consistent manner? Why can one not make an exception of oneself and one's case?" Kant's arguments stem from his concept of freedom. He argues that "the very idea of morality, the limiting of oneself from engaging in certain behaviors because they are immoral, is the highest expression of the concept of freedom".
In closing, each day we see new individuals take leadership roles knowing the unborn, like the born, share a common nature "humanity' and as a result they possess an irreducible moral and ethical value. Sir Arthur Keith in his essay on A New Theory of Evolution states, "It is a government's business to carry out "a partnership, not only between those living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born." In the past with abortion, that partnership was overlooked. Abortion has targeted the most weak and vulnerable of human beings for destruction and the impact of such killing clearly resembles historical genocides. Many of the political leaders realize that the massive abortion numbers will certainly impact our society for generations to come. Citizens are beginning to understand this is not the religious right against a woman's rights--- it is literally women vs. women and the moral and ethical value of our species. One could only imagine how difficult it will be to dislodge this killing machine that has existed for over 50 years but it can be done with the right leadership and ideas. The leadership of the pro - choice movement and their political supporters must find common ground or they will be remembered with the violence and moral horror of these 50 years and 64 million lost lives and become part of the trash heap of history just like the genocide leaders of the past.
Even Margaret Sanger's the founder of Planned Parenthood "What contraception was; that abortion was the wrong way —no matter how early it was performed it was taking life; that contraception was the better way ... because life had not yet begun" She even pronounced that "the hundreds of thousands of abortions performed in America each year were a disgrace to civilization"
