Esteemed Phoenix City Council, thank you once again for the opportunity to speak to you today. My name is

00:08

Reverend Luke Pearson. I am the Discipleship Pastor at Apology of Church in Mesa and co -founder of End Abortion Now.

00:14

You all know by now why we come here to speak to you. It is to protect the lives of our pre -born neighbors, your very own pre -born constituents, to encourage you to uphold

00:23

Arizona Revised Statute 13 -3603 calling abortion murder, to plead with you to make

00:30

Phoenix a sanctuary city for these beautiful children, to allow these precious little ones an opportunity to have their inalienable rights that were granted to them by our forefathers and by their

00:41

Creator. We are extremely grateful that you allow your citizens this time to voice our concerns.

00:48

My question for you all today, however, is do you seriously care when we come up here to speak? Do you genuinely care what the citizens under your jurisdiction are concerned with?

00:59

The same ones that have voted you into power and the same ones that can vote you out. We, the people, are ultimately the ones that you are accountable to.

01:08

You can say with your mouth that you care, but your actions speak otherwise.

01:14

You have moved citizen comments to the end and we know that you're required to not sit here and listen to us.

01:21

And by the way, I'm not sure who the gentleman was earlier that came up. As soon as our time came up to speak, he started talking to all you guys and distracting you, which

01:30

I will say is frustrating for us. Mayor Gallego, I thank you for your attention this week.

01:37

As I noticed last time we were here, you got up and left in the middle of a mentally challenged man speaking, so thank you for your attention today.

01:43

I appreciate that. I would like to speak to Councilman DiCiccio. Unfortunately, I see he's not here again today, but I will say this and I hope he's able to hear this

01:53

Sir, I must express my disappointment in you. You sat here and told us how pro -life you are and how you support our endeavors.

02:00

That last time we were here, while attending via your phone, you hung up in the middle of a brave young mother pleading for the lives of these children.

02:08

Respectfully, sir, your pro -life words are meaningless if your actions do not back them up. And the same goes for you,

02:14

Councilman Waring. You were supported by Arizona's largest pro -life groups and yet you continue to sneer and grin and have the time don't pay attention when we are pleading for life.

02:24

Respectfully, sir, it is also your time to back up your pro -life label with your actions. Today, I plead with you to do the hard thing.

02:32

Please do not ignore us. The easy thing is to pretend like 40 precious babies are not being murdered in their mother's wombs every day in this state.

02:41

The painless thing is to not consider how incredible it is that your very own mother's chose life for you.

02:48

The cowardly thing is not trying to visualize children being torn limb from limb or imagining the sound of a tiny skull being crushed by a pair of metal forceps held in the hands of a hired assassin or wondering what it must feel like to be chemically burned alive in your mother's womb.

Please be brave. Please be courageous. If you have any questions, please visit inabortionnow .com.
