Dear Members of the Austin City Council,

I urge you to vote NO on Agenda Item #11 to authorize a lease with Planned Parenthood for the use of a city-owned building and tract of land for 20 years at virtually no cost. The current estimated lease value is $111,600 per year, meaning the in-kind contribution would be at least $2,232,000.

I do not want my tax dollars being used to provide or promote abortion. Planned Parenthood is the largest provider of abortion in Texas and in the nation. They operate an abortion facility in South Austin, and the east Austin facility will surely make referrals for abortion and may provide abortions at a future date.

Planned Parenthood provides inferior care for low-income women. The State’s Healthy Texas Women Program offers far better care, and there more than 20 clinics within five miles of the Planned Parenthood site.

Sincerely,

Your name
Your address

Please call and leave a message for your own council member.
