September is Literacy Month

The National Federation of Republican Women has designated September as Literacy Month. Working in concert with the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, the NFRW asks Republican women’s clubs to participate by sharing in community literacy projects.

SUN Area Council of Republican Women will be taking book donations for a Title I classroom. If you would like to donate any books, please bring them to the October meeting or contact Irene Harris, President to make arrangements to have your donation picked up.

A loving pro-life response to Amy Brenneman

Last week actress Amy Brenneman, who filed a brief in opposition to abortion clinics in Texas being required to maintain basic health clinic standards, said she did not regret an abortion she had as a young woman.

Today we offer this link to an article containing the full text of a letter to Ms. Brenneman written by Congresswoman Diane Black -TN.  Rep. Black was a nurse for 40 years before being elected to Congress.  Her response is both bold and compassionate as her words remind us that women must survive to birth to have rights, and that their gender all too often condemns them to early death.
