History is frightening - listen to this intellegent response: Please honor these local women by watching their speeches and leaving a comment of thanks and encouragement. Last night in Batavia, I was proud to stand with the fierce women who had the courage to speak up in a room where they were clearly outnumbered. Walking into an arena like this is no easy task.Local residents are pushing the town Council to take action outside of their jurisdiction. Some want the town Council to write a letter to Governor Cuomo asking him to make Batavia a “sanctuary city” and close Planned Parenthood. Despite the repetition of misinformation over and over again, Planned Parenthood in Batavia does not perform abortions. The services they provide and benefit to the community cannot be questioned. For decades there are women who are going to battle for all of us. Let’s acknowledge Nikki Calhoun, Amber Marie,Erica O'Donnell and the others who stood in solidarity. This video is Nikki Calhoun. #StandWithPlannedParenthood
