Is it not surprising, considering that Rockford’s mayor and several city council members have publicly spoken at pro-abortion rallies in our city, that a special use permit, which is needed for an abortion clinic to open in a residential neighborhood, suddenly disappears? Why is the Auburn street abortion location being allowed to open without a permit?

The Rockford Family Initiative attempted to present our case to the Rockford Zoning board on Tuesday, December 21. Our goal was to prove that the proposed abortion mill at 611 Auburn St should not be allowed to open in a residential neighborhood, primarily since the city of Rockford cannot produce the special use permit that it needs to open.

Special Privileges for Abortion in Rockford? Zoning Appeal Hearing set for this Tuesday at 5:20PM

The Rockford Family Initiative and three individuals have filed an appeal of the Rockford Zoning Officer's certification for use of 611 Auburn Street as an abortion clinic. The appeal claims that the proposed abortion business has not met the legal requirements to open.

Eleven Rockford businesses located in the immediate vicinity of the potential abortion clinic at 4236 Maray Drive have signed an open letter to the public officials of the city of Rockford, demanding that the City Council amend the area zoning regulations to exclude abortion clinics. They will present the open letter to the City Council on Monday, October 17th at 5:30PM.
