Apostle during the past seventeen years has included

NOVEMBER, 2014 BALLOT QUESTION
ON ABORTION
In November, Amendment 1 will state:
Nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a
right to abortion or requires the funding of an
abortion. The people retain the right through their
elected state representatives and state senators to
enact, amend, or repeal statutes regarding abortion,
including, but not limited to, circumstances of
pregnancy resulting from rape or incest or when
necessary to save the life of the mother.
Because of a radical 4 to 1 ruling by the Tennessee
Supreme Court in 2000, TN now boasts a broader right to
abortion than that recognized by Roe v. Wade or the U.S.
Constitution. In 2008, 23.7% of abortions were sought by
women residing out-of-state. "YES on 1" is a non-profit
pro-life group that is helping to spread the word and
educate TN residents about this important ballot
measure. Please look for future information about this in
the bulletin. www.yeson1tn.org.
VOTE YES on Amendment One!!!!!!

NOVIEMBRE, PREGUNTA SOBRE EL
ABORTO EN LA VOTACIÓN DEL 2014
En noviembre, la primera pregunta de votación dice:
Nada en esta Constitución asegura o protege el derecho
al aborto o requiere el financiamiento de un aborto. El
pueblo retiene el derecho a través de sus representantes
y senadores estatales elegidos para aprobar,
enmendar, o revocar estatutos acerca del aborto,
incluyendo, pero no limitado a las circunstancias de
embarazo como resultado de una violación o de incesto
o cuando sea necesario para salvar la vida de la madre.
Debido a una resolución radical de 4 a 1 por la Corte
Suprema de Tennessee en 2000, Tennessee ahora tiene
un derecho al aborto más amplio que el reconocido por
Roe v. Wade o por la Constitución de los E.E.U.U. En
2008, 23.7% de los abortos fueron buscados por
mujeres residiendo fuera del estado. Yes on 1 es un
grupo pro-vida y sin fines de lucro que está
diseminando información y educando a los residentes
de Tennessee sobre este importante proyecto de
ley. Por favor, busque en el boletín por más
información sobre este proyecto en el futuro.

la iglesia, a más tardar el lunes. Nos reuniremos a las
9:30am el sábado 12 de julio. Use ropa y zapatos que
puedan mojarse. No sandalias. Traiga su comida y
bebida para el almuerzo.
CENA PARROQUIAL
Marca tu calendario para el miércoles, 16 de julio de
6:00-7:00 pm. Trae tu platillo favorito para compartir a

del equipo de Totus Tuus. ¡Los niños que asistan a Totus
Tuus estarán cantando!
