SYNDROME. ###
(*JENNIFE*)) A CITY
COMMITTEE WANTS SPRINGDALE TO
BE RECOGNIZED AS PRO- LIFE...
AND IT'S THE FIRST IN

KNWA'S CRYSTAL MARTINEZ LIVE
IN STUDIO ... CRYSTAL WHAT
DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE TOWN?
(*CRYSTA*)) JENNIFER...
ACCORDING TO MAYOR DOUG
SPROUSE THIS RESOULTION YOU
SEE HERE IS THE CITY STATING
THEIR POSITION THAT EVEN THE
UNBORN HAVE A RIGHT TO LIFE...
LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF
HAPPINESS. MAYOR SPROUSE SAYS
THE RESOLUTION WAS BROUGHT TO
THE TABLE BY COUNCIL MEMBER
COLBY FULLFER. THE COMMITTEE
UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE
STATEMENT PROCLAIMING
SPRINGDALE A PRO-LIFE CITY.
THIS COMES NEARLY TWO WEEKS
AFTER THE FAYETTEVILLE PLANNED
PARENTHOOD CLOSED ITS DOORS.
SPROUSE SAYS NO ONE FROM THE
ORGANIZATION HAS APPROACHED
HIM DIRECTLY ABOUT OPENING A
FACILITY THERE BUT HE HAS
HEARD TALKS ABOUT THE
POSSIBILTY. ###
DOUG SPROUSE, SPRINGDALE MAYOR
"IF WE HAVE SUPPORT FOR THIS
RESOLUTION AND CAN PUT
SOMETHING OUT JUST STATING THE
CITY'S PREFERENCE AND THE
CITY'S POSITION AND ENCOURAGE
THEM TO LOOK ELSEWHERE -
RESPECTFULLY ASK THEM TO LOOK
ELSEWHERE IF THEY ARE
CONSIDERING A LOCATION IN
SPRINGDALE. " SPROUSE SAYS
THIS DOESN'T GO AGAINST ANY
STATE OR FEDERAL LAWS AND
WOULDN'T PROHIBIT PLANNED
PARENTHOOD FROM OPENING A
CLINIC THERE. THE COUNCIL WILL
VOTE ON THE MEASURE DURING ITS
MEETING A WEEK FROM TODAY.
(*CRYSTA*)) PLANNED
PARENTHOOD TELLS US THEIR
EFFORTS TO GET A CLINIC IN
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS HAVEN'T
STOPPED... THEY'LL ANNOUNCE
WHEN THEY PLAN TO REOPEN ON
THEIR WEBSITE. LIVE IN STUDIO
