Amethyst closing

Sadly, Amethyst Women’s Care is closing on September 28, 2015 after providing care to women for the past 27 years.  Amethyst has been the only issue that has driven the candidacy of Bob Marshall, Aveni and Lovejoy because Amethyst also provides abortion services.  The owner of Amethyst is retiring.  She has been brave over the years.  Escorts were often necessary to protect the women who used Amethyst so they would not be harassed by the obnoxious picketers.  She has had to cope with the anti-choice owners of the office next door to Amethyst which provides propaganda to women rather than medical information.  (I have never understood how that office is allowed to provide medical counseling without a licensed physician on site.)

Hopefully, the picketers will move on.  That includes the old men that march with rosaries in hand and the young children who are given pictures of fetuses by their mothers to wave at drivers.  There were days when small infants were exposed to extreme heat and the police were called.  The organizer violated the law several times by leaving unattended signs on the grass that these protectors of life have worn away.  At a hearing of the zoning board, one of the ring leaders accused a pro-choice supporter as sinful because she was married and had decided not to have children.  She was “not married in the eyes of the Lord”.  These is why I find these people so odious.

I am so sorry Amethyst is leaving and was hoping someone would buy the practice.  But that being said, Marshall , Lovejoy and Aveni will no longer have Amethyst and pro-choice supporters to demean and demonize.  And maybe that will mean we can get show them the door.

Amen.
