Newly re-elected city counselor-at-large Rosemary Reynolds (who won the seat held by Annie DiMartino) attended a meeting of Mass Right to Life in Fitchburg and informed them that Planned Parenthood will NOT be attending the Tuesday city counsel meeting on the 2nd.

I wouldn’t put it past them to try to “deke” people in order to keep the turnout down so I think I’ll show up anyway.
The group will also hold a protest on main street tomorrow. I’m sure that will re-assure the remaining merchants on main street that PP won’t hurt business.

Oh fyi the “re-elected” refers to her previous time on the city counsel.

Oops my mistake. It didn’t connect to me that the group Right to Life organized the protest.
It would be nice to know how many non RTL group members were a part of this protest.
I don’t have an answer but considering how quickly it was put together I would imagine they made up the vast majority at minimum.
