Making our community a Sanctuary for the Unborn

By John Labriola - The overturning of Roe v. Wade was a watershed event in American history. Since the Supreme Court's landmark June ruling that returned the issue of abortion to the states, 13 states so far have outlawed abortion, saving the lives of countless innocent preborn children while costing the abortion industry millions in revenue.

The downside to this momentous victory for the right to life is that Florida is now the state with the most liberal abortion laws in the Southeastern United States, allowing abortion up to 15 weeks of pregnancy. This unfortunate fact is putting Florida in the crosshairs of the abortion industry, which sees Florida as a "haven" for abortion in the South. As a result, Planned Parenthood and others may try to make up for their huge revenue loss by opening new abortion centers here in Florida. But with places like Tampa, Orlando and Gainesville already saturated with abortion facilities, counties like ours that currently have no abortion clinics could become a target of the bloodthirsty industry.

That's why it's so important to act now to keep abortion clinics out of our community, and it's why making Inverness a Sanctuary for the Unborn is one of my top platform items in my campaign for Inverness City Council. 

A number of cities around the U.S. have already proactively passed ordinances to ban abortion clinics within their boundaries with the help of the national Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn organization, which offers cities free logistical and legal support in crafting, enacting and defending such laws from challenge.

Government's most important function is to protect innocent life, so please join me in this vital cause, whether or not you live in Inverness, because this effort needs to encompass our entire county and region until abortion is some day outlawed statewide.

You can help by signing the online petition HERE to make the community you live in a Sanctuary for the Unborn. Please do so now, even if you have already signed the printed petition.

Schlabach still causing Citrus County problems

Image
By John Labriola - Citrus County voters thought they had seen the last of former County Commissioner Ruthie Schlabach after her humiliating election loss last year. Sadly for the public, Schlabach is still finding ways to cause problems for the county.  The latest controversy involves her role as a lobbyist for The Southern Group. Last month, she convinced the commission's current chairwoman Rebecca Bays to nudge County Administrator Steve Howard into secretly signing a $3 million appropriations request to the state legislature to widen County Road 491 on behalf of the lobbying firm's client, Metro Development Group, which has an open application to build a 5,000-unit project along 491 called Tuscany Ranch.  In an email to Howard, Schlabach asked him to sign the funding request as soon as possible.  “That way, we can show you the money!” she wrote. The problem is that the rest of the commission never approved or even knew about the request, a serious breach of protocol, ...

"No Kings" demonstrations dishonor the nation

Image
By John Labriola - This past Saturday was the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, an important date that coincided with Flag Day and President Donald Trump's birthday. It was a day to celebrate America, and President Trump did so in style with a patriotic military parade in Washington D.C. that honored all the heroes who have put their lives on the line to keep our nation safe. The Democrat Party chose to spend the same day attacking President Trump's popular agenda and defending criminal illegal aliens in what they called "No Kings Day," with angry demonstrations across the country. Here in Citrus County, the angry minority of Kamala Harris voters, who represented 26 percent of the vote last year compared with the 72.41 percent who voted for Trump, took over the intersection in front of the Old Courthouse in downtown Inverness with obnoxious signs calling President Trump a tyrant and "king." Local crossdresser "Rhonda Santis," who has been identif...

Library board bows to haters of Charlie Kirk

Image
By John Labriola - The Citrus County Library Advisory Board (LAB) meeting last week turned into a hate fest against Charlie Kirk, as leftists angered by a motion to commemorate him with a library display outnumbered residents supporting the idea. Rita Fox of Lecanto said Kirk, who was assassinated on Sept. 10 by an angry leftist, deserved it.  "When you preach hate, things like that are bound to happen," she said, attacking Kirk for rejecting Marxist ideas like critical race theory, for which she accused him of "white supremacy." "In the end, the violence he rationalized and the racial fear he amplified converged in his own fate," Fox threateningly stated.  Later in the meeting, she and another liberal woman stormed out shouting obscenities at LAB Chairman Justin Strickland.  Other leftists said Kirk was a "racist," "bully," "bigot," "homophobic," "incredibly divisive," and a "white Christian nationali...
