The contentious resolution is set to be debated during a San Clemente City Council meeting on Aug. 16.
Knoblock said he hasn’t paid attention to what other groups or states are doing about abortion but, as a public servant, he believes he should bring the discussion forward. He added that he’s particularly concerned about Proposition 1, which if approved by state voters in November, would prohibit anyone in California from denying or interfering with a person’s reproductive health care, including any decision a person might make about abortion and contraception.
“Cities should do everything in their power to protect residents of their communities — both the born and the unborn,” Dickson said in an email.“In the same breath, cities must also be smart about the laws they enact to protect their residents,” he said. Knoblock said he recognizes some in the community might be put off by the religious reference. But he maintained that God is frequently referred to by lawmakers nationwide.
San Clemente Mayor Gene James, who last month seconded the motion to discuss the topic at the upcoming council meeting, said he’s heard from residents, and even groups outside of town, who are outraged by the proposal. He said the number in support of the resolution is only a fraction of those who oppose it.
