CA 90 ORAL COMMUNICATION Edward J. Allen, 2510 PROPOSED RESOLUTION French Street, brought OPPOSING ABORTION - REFERRED to Council a letter and a proposed resolu- tion opposing abortion, and specifically denouncing an abortion clinic operated in Santa Ana by Dr. Edward C. Allred. Mr. Allen read his letter dated November 7, 1977, in which he spoke of the "pervasive abomination of abortion" as a "growing evil that infects and imperils our community" and "which strikes at the very roots of our system of government as embodied in those two revered documents: our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of these United States". On the motion of Councilman Brandt, seconded by Councilman Garthe, carried 7:0 unanimously, the letter and resolution were referred to Staff for report and recommendation. Robert Cielnicky, 9771 E1 Tulipan Circle, Fountain Valley, reported that Dr. Allred is seeking to construct a facility that will offer abortion services; that the Council may wish to determine whether such a facility is a detriment to Santa Ana; what effect increased abortion services have on the well-being of the community; what effect abortion has on the well-being of the patient; that the Council may wish to determine the economic effect on the community now and in ten years in the future. He requested Council to withhold the building permit until the abortionist has provided an impact statement to determine if it can be shown that the best interests of the community are served, "then let it proceed; but human life deserves at least that consideration".
